Job Description

THE BRAND - LAWSON FLATS

From the team behind the State Buildings Lawson Flats is a membership-based social club spanning three floors in one of the city’s last remaining Art Deco jewels.

Our member community has access to a collection of rooms fit for work, life, and play with co-working spaces, karaoke and listening rooms, an art gallery, movement studios, and Luis’ bar and kitchen by one of Perth’s leading chefs at the heart.

We’re a private members club in the heart of the city, open Monday to Saturday for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The vibe? Somewhere between gallery opening and your most functional group chat — a mix of food, drink, conversation and the odd DJ set.

Lawson Flats is seeking an organised, service‑driven Events Manager to join our team and help deliver exceptional experiences across our club. Working closely with our Events Team, Food & Beverage, Cultural Programming, and Concierge teams, you’ll play a key role in ensuring every event, from intimate member gatherings to large cultural programs, runs seamlessly from enquiry through to execution.

Reporting to the General Manager, this role blends event administration with hands‑on operations, offering variety, ownership, and the chance to work in one of Perth’s most unique and design‑led member clubs.

• Communicate event requirements clearly to internal departments
• Oversee and delegate setup, execution, and pack‑down of events across the club
• Coordinate event logistics including layout, décor, AV, lighting, printed materials, and service flow
• Participate in weekly and monthly event meetings and conduct post‑event reporting
• Act as the on‑the‑day operational contact for event queries and adjustments
• Manage last‑minute changes such as dietary needs, guest numbers, or technical needs
• Work closely with F&B, Kitchen, Concierge, and Cultural Programming teams for seamless delivery
• Assist with rostering and staffing coordination when required
• Undertake reasonable additional duties aligned with the operational needs of the business

Who We’re Looking For

• A hospitality or events professional with strong organisational skills
• At least 2 years of prior event planning or event admin experience
• Someone who enjoys balancing administrative work with hands‑on service
• A confident communicator who thrives in a member‑focused environment
• A natural multitasker with great attention to detail
• A team player who brings warmth, professionalism, and initiative

Why Join Lawson Flats?

You’ll be part of a passionate team delivering exceptional experiences in a beautifully designed members’ club environment. Every day brings something new, from intimate dinners to large cultural performances, and you’ll have the chance to contribute meaningfully to the member experience.
