We are looking for an enthusiastic, organised and creative Events Assistant Manager to join our team on a temporary basis, from May – September 2024, with the chance to extend after peak season is over. There is also an opportunity to work across another brand of ours which operates all year round and involves a lot of indoor events, trade shows and other exciting projects.
As the Events Assistant Manager for The Luxury Picnic Company you will be responsible for everything relating to our events division including:
* Picnic Events for both B2B and B2C clients
* Indoor Picnic Events
* External Events for both B2B and B2C clients
Expectations from the role;
• You’ll assist in planning the look for each picnic, ensuring it is executed beautifully across all events. This includes coming up with creative design and decor ideas for the events and liaising with the Head of Events to ensure all the correct stock is bought and packed for each event - and that it is set up beautifully on the day!
• Be personable; you will work alongside a team of regular temporary staff to deliver the events during the busy summer months and it’s imperative the relationships with the staff remain positive.
• Keeping the inventory up to date and working with Head of Events to ensure any broken/ damaged items are replaced (depending on what is more cost efficient).
• Day-to-day management of our storage facility; arranging cleaning and laundering and keeping everything organised.
• Work alongside the Head of Events to source new and exciting suppliers for the events.
• Attend all events and ensure they are setup correctly and uniquely (no event is ever the same!), run smoothly and are packed away afterwards. This isn’t your standard 9-5!
• You’re aged 25+ with a clean driving licence, your own car/ easy to get to us in WD18, and feel comfortable driving a small (transit) van.
As you can see, this is a busy and varied role that requires someone who is happy juggling many different tasks and events at any given time, as well as someone who has lots of creativity and holds their work to a high standard. You need to be incredibly organised, have a strong attention to detail, a love for food and the hospitality industry and confidence for a great report with clients. We are all about building long-lasting relationships with our clients and working with them in the other divisions of our business.
Working Days and Hours: Your working days and hours will vary each week. We will put together a rota but we do require a huge level of flexibility. Please only apply if you are happy working weekends, evenings and longer hours than normal 9-5 jobs. You will be compensated accordingly for additional days worked.

Location: Watford
