The ideal candidate has a foundational understanding of event AV/production, excellent administrative skills, and the polished professionalism required to seamlessly integrate into an MNC environment while representing company's standards.

Key Responsibilities

1. Dedicated Executive Support (Administrative & Logistical)

• Act as the primary gatekeeper and assistant to the MNC Event Technical Director.
• Manage complex scheduling, calendar coordination, and meeting arrangements across different time zones.
• Arrange international and domestic travel itineraries, accommodations, and logistics for the Director and the extended event crew.

• Support the preparation of presentation decks (PowerPoint/Keynote), ensuring all multimedia elements are embedded correctly and formatted to client standards.
• Act as a liaison with third-party vendors (AV, lighting, staging), requesting quotes, tracking deliveries, and cross-checking equipment lists against the Director’s specifications.
• Help maintain and organize digital assets, floor plans, and technical archives.

3. On-Site Event Assistance (Live Execution)
