Event Administration Officer – Farmer Forums (WA Wheatbelt)

📍 Location: Work from home (part-time, flexible), with occasional metro office work and optional forum attendance

🕒 Hours: 0.2 FTE (15 hours per week)

About the Role

Are you highly organised, eager to learn, and confident in engaging with industry stakeholders? Do you want to gain valuable experience in event coordination while being part of a forward-thinking team?

We’re looking for an Event Administration Officer to support the delivery of farmer forums across the WA Wheatbelt over the next three years. With up to 16 events per year, mainly in summer and winter, this role is essential in ensuring seamless event planning and engagement. This role will support the Innovation Squared Team to successfully engage farmers to attend these forums and will require a willingness to learn and adapt our processes, take initiative, and push boundaries.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Event Coordination: Organising key details such as venues, catering, speaker arrangements, and accommodation to ensure smooth event execution.

• Stakeholder Engagement: Confidently contacting industry stakeholders via email, text, and phone to secure venues, speakers, and attendees.

• Marketing & Communication Support: Helping identify the target audience for each forum and supporting the publishing of marketing content (created by our marketing team).

• Data & Process Improvement: Collecting and analysing engagement data to refine future events and enhance industry outreach.

• Collaboration: Working alongside experienced Innovation Squared personnel, who will deliver the forums, ensuring a seamless experience for attendees.

Who We’re Looking For

While experience in event delivery is an advantage, we really value enthusiasm, a willingness to learn, and the courage to step outside the box and try new approaches. You’ll thrive in this role if you:

Have strong communication skills – confidence in reaching out to industry professionals is essential.

Are highly organised – able to juggle multiple tasks efficiently.

Are proactive & adaptable – keen to try new strategies and improve processes.

Enjoy working independently – comfortable managing tasks remotely with minimal supervision.

Are open to innovation – try new ideas and measure its success.

A Flexible, Growth-Focused Role

✅ Work from home with flexible hours to suit personal commitments.

✅ No requirement to attend forums – though you’ll have the option to do so when needed or if you’d like to experience them firsthand.

✅ Learn from an experienced team and develop valuable industry and event coordination skills.

✅ Be part of a progressive, innovative team making a meaningful impact in agriculture.
