It all started with a crazy idea What if food could do more? Smoke, bubble, explode (safely), glow, surprise people… make them stop mid-conversation and feel like kids again. That idea turned into experiments, those experiments turned into inventions, and somehow that became Lick Me Im Delicious - a team of curious, hands-on, slightly chaotic humans creating unforgettable food experiences for some of the worlds biggest brands. We take the fun seriously, but not ourselves. Because honestly, lifes too short to sit still, play it safe, and count down to 5pm - work should be creative, a bit unpredictable, and enjoyable (most of the time) If you want different, diverse, fun and a bit wacky, this might be the role for you. The Role at a Glance: Event Operations Coordinator Chalgrove, Oxford Permanent, Full-Time £28,000 – £33,000 Reports To: Operations & People Manager Day-to-Day Direction: Production Manager Direct Reports: (agency / casual staff when required) A Big Hello from us We are Lick Me Im Delicious - an award-winning experiential events company creating interactive food and drink experiences powered by invention. From nitrogen ice cream and edible bubbles to edible mist and chocolate selfies, our work sits at the intersection of food, science and entertainment. We partner with global brands to deliver experiences that are bold, memorable, and technically unique. Behind every standout event is a highly disciplined operation. No matter how creative the concept, it only succeeds when everything arrives exactly as it should - complete, consistent, and ready to perform. The Role (a.k.a. the engine room of the magic) This is where the magic either works… or doesnt. Youll be the person making sure every single event kit leaves our HQ (we know such a boring vibe - ‘The Lab, better?) perfect, complete, and ready to wow - and comes back cleaned, reset, and ready to go again. Its hands-on. Its fast-moving. Its detailed. And when its done right, nobody notices… because everything just works. Youll be packing, checking, organising, fixing, coordinating people, staying ahead of stock, and generally making sure nothing falls through the cracks. If you like being busy, working independently, solving problems, and taking pride in getting things exactly right, youll love this. What Youll Be Getting Stuck Into: Packing Kits Like a Pro (Goods Out) Youll own the packing of every event kit: working to spec, checking everything twice (and then once more for luck), and making sure nothing is missing, broken, or “thatll do”. Youll set up the Goods Out area so Event Managers can grab their kit and go without stress. If somethings not right, youll catch it before it becomes a problem. Turning Chaos Back Into Order (Goods In) When kits come back, its your job to reset the world. Youll check everything, clean it properly, restock it, and get it back to “event-ready” status. If somethings missing or damaged, youll spot it immediately and flag it. Fast turnaround is the name of the game. Staying Ahead of the Game (Stock & Supply) Youll keep one eye on whats coming up and one eye on whats on the shelf. Youll make sure weve got what we need, when we need it - ordering routine stock, keeping records tight, and flagging anything that looks off before it becomes a last-minute panic. Occasionally, youll jump in the van and grab stock yourself. Helping Keep the Inventions Working (Maintenance Support) Our equipment isnt exactly off-the-shelf. Youll support basic maintenance: cleaning, checking, tweaking and over time youll get a feel for when somethings not quite right. You wont be fixing the big stuff, but you will be the early warning system. Rallying the Troops (Agency Staff) When things get busy, youll help bring in and organise extra hands. Youll brief them, direct them, and make sure theyre working to the right standard. Making It Look the Part (Branding & Finishing Touches) Its not just about working - its about looking right too. Youll make sure branding is applied properly and everything leaving the warehouse looks sharp, consistent, and on point. What Good Looks Like • Kits go out right. Every time. No missing bits, no surprises • Kits come back, get sorted quickly, and are ready to go again • Stock is where it should be - no last-minute scrambles • Agency staff turn up, know what theyre doing, and deliver • The warehouse is organised, clean, and doesnt feel like chaos (even when it is) What This Role Isnt Youre not expected to fix complex technical issues, choose new suppliers, or make big procurement decisions. That sits with the Production Manager. Your job is to execute brilliantly, stay organised, and keep everything running smoothly. What Youll Need The Essentials • Live events, experiential, hospitality or logistics experience • You notice the small stuff (and it matters to you) • Youre organised and like having a system • Youre happy being on your feet, lifting, packing, moving • You follow processes properly - not “roughly right” • Youre confident telling people what needs doing • You speak up early when somethings not right • Youve got a full UK driving licence and are happy in a van • Youre flexible for the occasional evening/weekend rota • Youre happy to work independently, but within a wider team • Youre up for learning how all our weird and wonderful kit works Bonus Points If Youve Got • Experience working with casual or agency staff • Stock systems or ordering experience The Kind of Person Who Thrives Here You take ownership - if its yours, you use your initiative and it gets done properly. Youve got high standards - details matter, and you care about getting them right. Youre proactive - you spot problems early, not after the vans left. Youre reliable - people trust you because you deliver. Youre practical - you like getting stuck in. Youre a team player - no egos, just getting the job done. Youre curious - especially about how things work. The Setup Youll be based full-time in our HQ in Chalgrove, Oxford, Monday to Friday. Occasionally, youll be assigned as an out-of-working-hours emergency contact. This means being available by phone in case on-site staff need support. This is a shared responsibility across the team and calls are rare. You can carry on with your normal plans, but should be reachable and prepared to take a quick call if an urgent situation arises. Why Join Lick Me Im Delicious Because this isnt a normal job. Youll be part of a team creating genuinely unique experiences - the kind people remember, talk about, and post everywhere. Its hands-on. Its different every week. Its sometimes chaotic. But its also fun, creative, and seriously satisfying when it all comes together. Lick Me Im Delicious — wildly inventive. Operationally excellent.
