• Supporting event planning logistics, operational readiness, and on-ground delivery in collaboration with organisers.
• Managing procurement-related processes, ensuring adherence to internal governance and documentation standards.

Job Requirements

• Diploma or Degree in Events Management, Sales, Business, Hospitality, or a related Tourism-focused field.
