Summary

The Private Events Support Assistant provides behind-the-scenes, day-of operational support to the Event Lead and Sales Manager. This is an internal-facing support role, not a client-facing position. The primary function is to fill gaps, keep the event space event-ready, and handle the small but critical tasks that keep an event running smoothly. This person takes direction from the Sales Manager and/or the Event Lead and jumps in where needed, whether that's putting out signage, doing a last-minute vacuum, distributing equipment to venue-hired vendors, or handling any setup task that needs attention before doors open.

• Remove and store all signage and materials at the end of the event
• Restock restrooms or common areas as needed prior to event start

• Reliable, punctual, and professional in appearance
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and pivoting quickly
• Ability to be on your feet for extended periods and perform light physical tasks
• Ability to lift and move chairs and tables as needed - occasional light to moderate lifting may be required
• Flexible availability including evenings, weekends, and holidays
• Team-oriented with a low-ego, get-it-done attitude
