Experiential & Event Specialist, ANZ (Contract)

We're looking for a hands-on Experiential & Event Specialist to join our Marketing team in Sydney on a 9month contract basis. In this role, you'll help bring the Spotify brand to life through live events, experiential activations, and content production — owning end-to-end execution and amplification via paid media, from first brief to final wrap report.

You'll work closely with internal teams across music and communications, as well as our agency and production partners, to turn ideas into real-world experiences that connect fans, artists, and the Spotify brand — both in the room and beyond it.

As part of the Consumer Marketing team, you will support this fast-paced, collaborative, high trust, high accountability, feedback-driven, with events spanning music campaigns. This position will be based in Sydney and report into the Marketing Lead.

What You'll Do :
• Lead end-to-end execution of live events and experiential activations — from preproduction planning through on-site delivery and post-event reconciliation

• Manage day-to-day relationships with creative and production agencies, briefing partners, reviewing outputs, and ensuring work delivers against event objectives

• Build and track production budgets and timelines, keeping projects on schedule and within scope

• Develop integrated media plans that extend the reach of experiential activity — working with media agency partners to identify the right channels, formats, and moments to amplify events before, during, and after

• Shape targeted communications that drive attendance, build anticipation, and follow up with audiences post-event

• Coordinate across internal stakeholders — including legal, creative, comms, music, and data teams — to move concepts from approval through to delivery

• Manage vendors, freelancers, and suppliers, holding partners to a high standard at any budget level

• Support contract administration for artist agreements and procurement, including raising purchase orders and managing vendor onboarding

Who You Are:
• You have around 5+ years of experience across event, experiential, or integrated marketing, ideally with exposure to broader campaign execution

• Proven ownership of live events or activations — knowing what it takes to get from brief to build

• A strong understanding of how audiences show up differently in physical and digital spaces, with the ability to design marketing activity that works across both

• Experience building or contributing to media plans, with a solid grasp of paid, owned, and earned channels

• Comfortable working in CRM tools, with an understanding of how lifecycle and audience segmentation can amplify experiential work

• Highly organised with strong attention to detail — able to thrive in busy environments and manage multiple workstreams at once

• A confident communicator who can manage up, across, and externally with ease

• Some familiarity with the artist booking process and what artists need on the ground

• Curious, open to feedback, and always looking for ways to improve how you and your team work

• Genuinely passionate about music and culture — you have a strong finger on the pulse of what’s relevant, emerging, and resonating with audiences

• Willing to travel for events as required

Where You'll Be :
• This role is based in Sydney, Australia
