Insurance

• Manage insurance documentation for each show and maintain a clear record system.
• Attend monthly meetings with insurance agents.
• Reconcile invoices and raise credits where customers provide insurance proof.
• Work with agents to continually improve and streamline processes.

• Support other ad‑hoc administrative and finance tasks as required.

ABOUT YOU:

You’ll be an organised, proactive individual with excellent communication skills and a keen eye for detail. You’ll have the confidence to liaise across departments and the ability to balance multiple priorities effectively.
