The Role

You’ll be the glue that holds our events together. Your mission? To ensure every detail is flawless, every question answered, and every guest has a smile on their face.

• At least 3 years of admin experience (bonus points if it’s in events!).
• A knack for juggling multiple priorities without dropping the ball.
• Strong tech skills – think Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and everything in-between.
• Sharp attention to detail – you’re the person who spots the typo, catches the misstep, and ensures everything is polished to perfection.
• Communication skills that make people say, “Wow!”
• A positive, can-do attitude that motivates and uplifts the team.
• A cool head under pressure and a solutions-focused mindset.

Bonus: You’ve dabbled with CRM systems, EventsAir, or similar platforms – or you’re eager to learn!
