What We're Looking For

  • Experience in a fast-paced, customer-facing environment (venue or events experience a bonus).
  • Strong administration and organisation skills — you're confident managing diaries, travel, and expenses.
  • Calm under pressure, with strong attention to detail and a proactive mindset.
  • Comfortable using Microsoft Office tools, especially Excel, Outlook, and Teams.
  • A resilient, reliable team player who's ready to take initiative in a live event environment.
