This is an exciting opportunity to support the Business and Events Manager in the planning, coordination, delivery and development of exceptional event experiences across a varied and growing portfolio of events within the wider Clipper Ventures group.
The Role:
This role will suit someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys variety, and is passionate about delivering high-quality events and customer experiences. From event planning and logistics to participant communication and on-site delivery, the Events Assistant will play an important part in ensuring events are delivered to a consistently high standard.
Key Skills:
We are looking for someone who is highly organised, personable and keen to develop their career in events within a role that offers plenty of scope to grow personally and professionally. You will ideally have:

• Excellent organisational skills with strong attention to detail.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• A proactive and positive approach, with the confidence to use initiative while also recognising when escalation is appropriate.
• Confidence in dealing with suppliers, customers, participants and colleagues at all levels.
• The ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities in a busy environment.
• A flexible and hands-on approach to work.
• Good IT skills, including Microsoft Office, and the ability to learn new systems quickly. Experience of Salesforce would be an advantage but is not essential.
• If you have a passion for sailing and/or adventure it would certainly be a bonus, and you’ll be in good company!
