A rare opportunity has arisen for a highly skilled Brand Strategist to shape and embed a recently revitalised brand within one of Australia’s most iconic and multifaceted public precincts. This is a chance to take an ambitious rebrand and bring it to life across destination, commercial, corporate, and consumer channels — ensuring the brand is experienced consistently and meaningfully at every touchpoint.

The Role
Reporting to the Head of Communications, you will lead strategic initiatives that:

  • Drive recognition and awareness through destination branding.
  • Align commercial positioning with partnership and content acquisition strategies.
  • Adapt the masterbrand to uplift corporate communications.
  • Elevate consumer brand experience across guest-facing communications and environments.
You’ll also establish brand governance frameworks, tools, and processes, embedding best-practice brand management across a diverse group of stakeholders — from internal teams to high-profile partners.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop and implement brand strategy across place, commercial, corporate, and consumer workstreams.
  • Create actionable frameworks, messaging guides, and visual identity systems to ensure consistent brand expression.
  • Oversee brand governance including IP protection, co-branding protocols, and logo usage.
  • Lead ongoing brand evolution to maintain cultural relevance and strategic alignment.
  • Build strong relationships with internal teams, leadership, partners, and external agencies to champion brand adoption.
  • Drive brand-led cultural change, enabling all staff to confidently apply the brand in their work.
About You

You’re a strategic brand thinker with the confidence and capability to influence at all levels. You bring:
  • 7+ years’ experience in brand strategy/management within complex, multi-stakeholder environments (e.g. public precincts, tourism, sport, events, universities, large corporates, or government).
  • Proven experience leading brand evolution, positioning, and identity projects.
  • Expertise in brand governance and BAU brand operations.
  • Strong stakeholder engagement and change management skills.
  • Exceptional communication skills — able to simplify complexity and inspire action.
Why You’ll Love This Role
  • Work on a brand with national and international visibility.
  • Collaborate with industry-leading professionals in marketing, communications, and events.
  • Influence brand experience for millions of visitors each year.
  • Join a forward-thinking organisation committed to innovation and cultural impact.
