It's all in the detail. From an intimate meeting for six guests to a 100‑cover wedding, you make every moment happen. We create memories our guests never forget - and as Assistant Meetings & Events Operations Manager, you're right at the heart of bringing those experiences to life.
This is a fully hands-on, operational role. You won't be sitting behind a desk - you'll be on the floor, leading your team, ensuring rooms are set, service is flawless, and every guest feels looked after from the moment they arrive.
What you'll be doing
- Taking operational charge of the conference and event spaces
- Being the visible, face‑to‑face contact for all Meetings & Events guests
- Leading the team during event setup, service, and clear-down
- Ensuring every detail is executed to brand standards throughout the day
- Building strong guest relationships to encourage repeat business

What we're looking for
Experience in a similar operational role is beneficial, but a great attitude, a warm smile, and a genuine passion for hospitality are essential. You'll thrive in a fast-paced, physical environment and enjoy leading a team from the front.
This is not an office-based events position. It is an active, on-your-feet, hands-on operational role focused on delivering exceptional live event experiences.
