This is an excellent opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys balancing customer service, event coordination, operational management and business support responsibilities.

• Assist with the management of guest accommodation bookings and operational schedules
• Deliver exceptional customer service throughout the client journey

About You

• Previous experience within hospitality, events, venue operations or a customer-focused environment
• Strong organisational and time management skills
• Excellent communication and interpersonal abilities
• A positive, professional and proactive approach
• Strong administrative skills with excellent attention to detail
• The ability to multitask and prioritise effectively
• Confidence working independently and as part of a team
• A flexible attitude and willingness to support different areas of the business
