  • Network and Collaborate: Attend networking events, maintain relationships with venue finding agents, and distribute marketing materials.

 3. Operational Venue Support:

  • Hands-On Event Support: Assist with AV needs, room setup, catering, and be the go-to contact for clients during events.
  • Reception Duties: Greet clients, manage internal room bookings, and provide access to visitors.
  • Facilities Support: Step in for the Head of Conferences & Buildings when needed, and take on keyholder responsibilities.

Who We're Looking For:

 Knowledge and Understanding:

  • Familiarity with the operations of a conference venue or similar hospitality environment.
  • Awareness of health and safety policies and front-of-house reception duties.
  • Knowledge of the not-for-profit or academic sector is a plus.

  • Experience in a customer-facing role within a conference venue.
  • Proficiency in event sales, marketing, and digital marketing.
  • Competence with AV equipment and presentation setups.
  • Strong skills in Microsoft Office and room booking software (Rendezvous is a bonus).
  • Knowledge of SEO and experience supervising contractors.

 Personal Attributes:

  • Highly organised with excellent time-management skills.
  • Self-motivated, proactive, and responsible.
  • A team player with the flexibility to collaborate and achieve shared goals.
  • Ability to manage multiple tasks and stay calm under pressure.
  • Strong interpersonal skills to build and maintain effective relationships.
