The Opportunity

As a Community Engagement Manager, you'll be the face of Aveo in the local community, building meaningful relationships that help more Australians discover the benefits of an Aveo retirement community.

Your role is to build genuine, lasting relationships with local community groups, organisations and businesses — creating awareness of Aveo, generating quality sales leads, and helping prospective residents feel confident about taking the next step in their retirement journey. Working across our Sydney communities, you’ll focus on our communities where your engagement activities can have the greatest impact on resident growth & connection.

• Communicate the full Aveo story — our communities, our care services, and our point of difference in retirement living
• Collaborate with Sales and Marketing teams to ensure all activities or events align with community priorities, lead generation and overall sales strategy
• Maintain a well-managed event calendar and track all activity and leads through the CRM
• Provide regular reporting to the Head of Sales & Marketing, with a sharp eye on lead generation and cost-per-outcome metrics

What you'll bring

• Experience in community engagement, business development, sales, events, relationship management or a similar people-focused role
• Confidence to hit the ground running from day one and work independently while managing multiple opportunities
• Energy, initiative and creativity to identify new ways of engaging with prospective residents and community groups
• A polished, professional and warm approach and strong communication and presentation skills
• A genuine interest in the retirement living sector and the communities we serve
• Experience using Microsoft Office, Canva and CRM systems (desirable)
• Valid driver's licence (required)
