  • Developing event plans, including logistics, staffing and risk assessments
  • Coordinating internal teams, suppliers and student staff
  • Overseeing live event delivery and troubleshooting in real time
  • Ensuring high standards of hospitality and customer experience
  • Supporting commercial growth and protecting The Union’s reputation

  • Experience in event planning and live delivery
  • Strong organisational and stakeholder management skills
  • Ability to lead teams and manage multiple priorities
  • A proactive, solutions‑focused approach under pressure
