- Coordinate the planning and delivery of event activations, experiences and supporting infrastructure.
- Manage event logistics, schedules, documentation and operational requirements to ensure successful event delivery.
- Build strong relationships with event owners, councils, venues, suppliers, contractors and other key stakeholders.
- Support procurement, contract administration, budgeting, financial tracking and reporting activities.

- Highly organised with strong project coordination skills and the ability to manage competing priorities.
