Office and Events Coordinator

Neara is a high-growth, venture-backed Series C, tech company headquartered in Sydney. We work with 75% of the utilities in Australia and New Zealand and are growing rapidly across the US and Europe. Our mission is to revolutionise the utilities industry by helping them future-proof their infrastructure and navigate the challenges of the clean energy transition. Our 3D digital network model enables utilities to simulate various scenarios and make informed decisions to protect their assets and communities.

You will be at the heart and soul of our Sydney office, creating social opportunities and a sense of community for the team as well as prospective hires. You will oversee recruitment events and graduate / university engagement to ensure we’re consistently bringing on board young, talented people who can develop their careers at Neara. Additionally, you’ll be responsible for keeping the office running smoothly and you'll create a welcoming office environment in our Sydney office.

The perfect candidate for this role is someone who loves interacting with people, finds joy in helping others, takes pride in keeping spaces organised and functional and is passionate about creating both in-person and remote social events and experiences. This role will need to be based out of our Sydney office.

What You Will Do

• Use your smarts and creativity to push the envelope and come up with creative, unique and engaging ways for us to connect, collaborate and celebrate. We want more than just bean bags and drum circles. We want you to wow us.
• Your core responsibility will be to organise and drive coordination of office events, team activities and celebrations. This includes handling all internal and external event logistics including (amazing) venue selection, (delicious) catering, and overall setup and coordination leading up to and during events.

• You’ll work with our talent team to drive graduate and other recruitment efforts by helping to organise career events, round tables, information sessions and hackathons, while maintaining relationships with university career centers and student organisations.
• Admin is a bore. We know. But you will need to do some administrative tasks like invoicing, budget management, and purchasing for both the office and our events.
• You’ll support global team initiatives related to employee experience, onboarding, and culture enhancement.
• Oversee event communications including calendar invites, reminder messages, and social media content.
• Manage vendor relationships for office operations (maintenance, security, IT).
• Coordinate merchandise selection and orders.
• Assist with ad hoc HR and office as required.
