Tracking finances, management of the procurement processes, negotiating with suppliers and managing multiple work streams should be second nature to you, and you will combine innate commercial acumen with the highest standards of creativity. In short, you will bring everything it takes to make every event a success.

This role entails flexibility regarding out of hours working in order to support certain events. This may also include international travel and working at the weekend. Time off in lieu (TOIL) will be allocated by your Line Manager, depending on the event on case- by-case basis.
