Love working in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same? Then this is the job for you!
Sitting within a Marketing Team, you’ll get to showcase your outstanding end-to-end event management skills working on a broad range of events including outdoor expos and music events, cultural events, seminars, food festivals and more.
You’re the person we’ve been searching for if…
- You’ve got 5+ years experience in end-to-end Event Management
- You’re a self-starter who likes to work as part of a team
- You thrive in high pressure situations
- You are the ultimate multi-tasker who has no problems managing multiple projects with competing deadlines at the same time.
- People are your jam – collaborating on concepts, onboarding volunteers, negotiating with stakeholders, liaising with performers – you like it all!
- You’re physically ready to break a sweat and get a little dirty with bump ins and bump outs.
We’d love it if you’ve got some marketing experience to help promote these beautiful events but this isn’t essential.
