Production Coordinator

We’re on the lookout for an Production Coordinator to join the Melbourne International Jazz Festival team on a fixed-term contract for September and October 2026.

The Production Coordinator plays a key role in supporting the planning and delivery of the Melbourne International Jazz Festival, coordinating production systems, technical requirements, venue operations and supplier communications. Working closely with the Production Manager, the role helps ensure that production information is accurate, up to date and effectively communicated across the festival’s venues, artists, suppliers and crew.

In the lead-up to the festival, the role focuses on production administration, including maintaining schedules and documentation, coordinating technical and backline information, and supporting communication between artists, venues and suppliers. During the festival period, the focus shifts to hands-on event delivery, supporting venue operations, coordinating equipment movements, overseeing production activity and assisting with the resolution of on-the-ground operational issues.

The successful applicant will have experience in live event or festival production, combining strong organisational and administrative skills with practical production experience. The role suits a proactive, solutions-focused individual who enjoys working collaboratively, communicates effectively with a wide range of stakeholders, and thrives in a fast-paced live event environment.

Applications close at 5:00pm on Monday 20 July 2026. Please read the Position Description for more information on the role, and to learn how to apply.
