You’ll bring excellent communication skills, a keen eye for detail, and the ability to juggle multiple priorities with calm efficiency. Just as importantly, you’ll bring creativity, vision, and a genuine passion for delivering events that make a lasting difference.
This is a fantastic opportunity to take the lead on exceptional events that support and celebrate young people. If you’re ready to take your career to the next level in a role with purpose and impact, we’d love to hear from you.
