Events and Marketing Assistant.
Bright Humans is growing, and we are looking for someone at the start of their career who wants real experience, not just a job title.
You will work across Something Digital and Something Fest, Queensland’s leading platforms for digital innovation and emerging ideas, alongside a significant focus on Brisbane Portrait Prize, one of Australia’s most respected portrait awards.
This is not a sit quietly and update spreadsheets or create social posts role. It is an opportunity to roll up your sleeves inside a small, ambitious team and contribute to projects that shape conversations across technology, creativity and culture.
If you want to learn fast, take ownership early, and see how events and marketing actually work behind the scenes, keep reading.
Scope: 2 days per week, commencing Late March/Early April.
We create experiences that put people first – helping to build skills, spark creativity, and strengthen the communities we’re part of.
We don’t fit in a neat box or industry. Our team brings together project managers, marketers, curators, event producers, artists, hosts, geeks, and collaborators. What unites us is a love of turning big ideas into real-world projects and events that bring people together.
Our work spans digital innovation, emerging industries and contemporary culture. We design and deliver platforms that create connection, capability and conversation.
Our core projects include
We are a small, experienced team that works at pace and holds a high bar for quality. We value ownership, initiative and humans who are willing to step in and make things happen.

You will gain hands-on experience across event logistics, marketing execution, digital tools and the realities of running lean, ambitious projects.
Some weeks will be steady and some will be intense, particularly during major event periods where additional hours may be required.
About You
