• Lead onsite event execution, proactively resolving issues, managing stakeholders and ensuring a positive experience for clients, partners and guests.
• Undertake expense management, supplier invoicing and budget reconciliations

A bit about you:

• 4+ years' experience in event management, experiential marketing, sponsorship activations or brand experiences.
• Experience coordinating events, activations, or entertainment events.
• Highly organised with exceptional attention to detail and the ability to remain calm under pressure in fast-paced live event environments.
• Confident working onsite and comfortable making decisions to keep projects running smoothly.
