* Be the Onsite Hero: Lead onsite (and virtual) exhibit delivery, coordinating staff, vendors, and production schedules for seamless execution.
* Drive Innovation: Analyse data to create retention strategies and explore new opportunities for growth and value.
* Enhance Client Experiences: Manage our online portal and ensure exhibitors have everything they need to succeed.

* Data-Driven: Analytical mindset with a knack for turning metrics into actionable strategies.
* Adaptability: Able to thrive under pressure, anticipate client needs, and react with solutions.

Why Join Us?
* Be part of a global team delivering impactful, high-profile events.
* Showcase your creativity and operational expertise on an international platform.
* Collaborate with passionate professionals who value excellence and innovation.
