About the Company

AMDA strengthens sovereign industrial capability by creating platforms where industry, government, defence and global partners connect. Through major expositions, conferences and internationally recognised airshows, AMDA brings the world to Australia while elevating Australian innovation and expertise on the global stage.

About the Role
As the Senior Marketing & Communications Manager, you will lead the strategic direction, planning and delivery of AMDA’s marketing, communications, media and brand activity. This is a high‑impact leadership role responsible for shaping AMDA’s public presence, driving integrated campaigns, overseeing media and PR strategy, and ensuring consistent, compelling brand representation across all channels and events.
You will guide a capable team, manage agency partners, and work closely with senior executives to position AMDA as a trusted, influential voice across industry and government. This role plays a critical part in the success of AMDA’s major national events, ensuring strong audience engagement, stakeholder alignment and high‑quality content delivery.

About You
