EVENTS ASSISTANT MANAGER – TEMP ROLE (JUNE–SEPT) | WATFORD-BASED | APPLY ASAP

2 days ago Be among the first 25 applicants

The Luxury Picnic Company is hiring! We’re looking for an incredible, detail-loving, van-driving, creative-thinking, fast-moving human to join our team this summer as an Events Assistant Manager.

This is not your average 9–5. Think: unforgettable events, beautiful outdoor setups, creative freedom, tight timelines, client-facing energy and a whole lot of fun along the way. If you thrive in a fast-paced, slightly chaotic, very rewarding environment—you’ll love it here.

BEFORE YOU APPLY – SIX NON-NEGOTIABLES

You must:

Be happy commuting to and from Watford – this is not a work-from-home gig.

Be confident driving a van (ideally Boxer-sized – we’ll train, but you can’t be nervous about it).

Be available for evenings, weekends and long hours – our rota changes fast based on events and weather.

Have a great memory and strong attention to detail – there’s a lot to remember.

Be available to start ASAP – we’re already rolling.

Be physically up for it – lifting, packing vans, unpacking vans, setting up picnics in parks... this is no desk job.

WHO THIS JOB IS PERFECT FOR

Just finished a degree? Looking for your first break into events or a creative role?
Fancy a stepping stone into something bigger, where you’ll learn LOADS fast?
Got energy, initiative, and great communication?

Then this could be your golden ticket. We don’t care about your CV length. We care about common sense, confidence, timekeeping, creativity and work ethic. If you’re a go-getter who can keep calm under pressure (even when it’s raining on the picnic), this is a brilliant way to:

Learn hands-on event management
Get exposed to every area of the business (planning, client comms, logistics, styling, people management)
Build confidence leading a small team
Grow creatively and professionally—fast

THE ROLE

You’ll work closely with our Head of Events to bring luxury picnics to life across London and beyond.

Responsibilities include:

Helping plan and style each event (yes, you get creative input!)
Packing and prepping stock so everything is event-ready
Overseeing event setup and takedown
Managing freelance staff on-site with positive vibes and authority
Keeping inventory updated and organised
Handling logistics, liaising with clients and ensuring events run smoothly
Solving problems on the fly (hello, London traffic & rain)
Being the kind of person who spots a missing cushion from 30 paces

LOGISTICS & BENEFITS

Location: Watford (must be able to commute easily)

Hours: Vary weekly – includes evenings/weekends (if you are a clock watcher, this job is not for you)

Transport: Use of company van on event days

Pay: Very competitive

Contract: Temporary (June–Sept 2024), with potential to extend into our sister brand

️ Holiday: 28 days pro-rata

Team: Fun, ambitious and growing – you’ll work directly with the founders

Perks: You’ll gain serious experience, fast-track your skills and have a front-row seat in a fast-moving creative business

HOW TO APPLY

Send your CV and a few non-boring lines about why you’d be great for this role. We’re not expecting a cover letter – just give us a sense of who you are, how you work and why this role excites you. Please also include answers to all of the 6 non negotiables at the top of this advert so we know you have what is needed. Email us at events@theluxurypicniccompany.co.uk
