The Luxury Picnic Company is hiring! We’re looking for an incredible, detail-loving, van-driving, creative-thinking, fast-moving human to join our team this summer as an Events Assistant Manager.
This is not your average 9–5. Think: unforgettable events, beautiful outdoor setups, creative freedom, tight timelines, client-facing energy and a whole lot of fun along the way. If you thrive in a fast-paced, slightly chaotic, very rewarding environment—you’ll love it here.
BEFORE YOU APPLY – SIX NON-NEGOTIABLES
The Luxury Picnic Company is hiring! We’re looking for an incredible, detail-loving, van-driving, creative-thinking, fast-moving human to join our team this summer as an Events Assistant Manager.
This is not your average 9–5. Think: unforgettable events, beautiful outdoor setups, creative freedom, tight timelines, client-facing energy and a whole lot of fun along the way. If you thrive in a fast-paced, slightly chaotic, very rewarding environment—you’ll love it here.
BEFORE YOU APPLY – SIX NON-NEGOTIABLES
You must:
1. Be happy commuting to and from Watford – this is not a work-from-home gig.
2. Be confident driving a van (ideally Boxer-sized – we’ll train, but you can’t be nervous about it).
3. Be available for evenings, weekends and long hours – our rota changes fast based on events and weather.
4. Have a great memory and strong attention to detail – there’s a lot to remember.
5. Be available to start ASAP – we’re already rolling.
6. Be physically up for it – lifting, packing vans, unpacking vans, setting up picnics in parks... this is no desk job.
WHO THIS JOB IS PERFECT FOR
* Just finished a degree? Looking for your first break into events or a creative role?
* Fancy a stepping stone into something bigger, where you’ll learn LOADS fast?
* Got energy, initiative, and great communication?
Then this could be your golden ticket. We don’t care about your CV length. We care about common sense, confidence, timekeeping, creativity and work ethic. If you’re a go-getter who can keep calm under pressure (even when it’s raining on the picnic), this is a brilliant way to:
* Learn hands-on event management
* Get exposed to every area of the business (planning, client comms, logistics, styling, people management)
* Build confidence leading a small team
* Grow creatively and professionally—fast
THE ROLE
You’ll work closely with our Head of Events to bring luxury picnics to life across London and beyond.
Responsibilities include:
* Helping plan and style each event (yes, you get creative input!)
* Packing and prepping stock so everything is event-ready
* Overseeing event setup and takedown
* Managing freelance staff on-site with positive vibes and authority
* Keeping inventory updated and organised
* Handling logistics, liaising with clients and ensuring events run smoothly
* Solving problems on the fly (hello, London traffic & rain)
* Being the kind of person who spots a missing cushion from 30 paces
LOGISTICS & BENEFITS
Location: Watford (must be able to commute easily)
Hours: Vary weekly – includes evenings/weekends (if you are a clock watcher, this job is not for you)
Transport: Use of company van on event days
Pay: Very competitive
Contract: Temporary (June–Sept 2024), with potential to extend into our sister brand
️ Holiday: 28 days pro-rata
Team: Fun, ambitious and growing – you’ll work directly with the founders
Perks: You’ll gain serious experience, fast-track your skills and have a front-row seat in a fast-moving creative business
HOW TO APPLY
Send your CV and a few non-boring lines about why you’d be great for this role. We’re not expecting a cover letter – just give us a sense of who you are, how you work and why this role excites you. Please also include answers to all of the 6 non negotiables at the top of this advert so we know you have what is needed. Email us at events@theluxurypicniccompany.co.uk
