Event Operations Specialist
Location: Amersham (with regular UK travel)
Salary: £28,000 - £32,000
Full-Time Position - Career Progression Opportunities.
Do you have experience in planning, organising and running large events (150+)?
Would you love the opportunity to contribute to the success and growth of our trading card game (TCG) events across the UK?
Are you looking to grow and develop into an Events Manager role?
Axion Now is a specialist events organiser and online store for Magic: The Gathering (MTG) and Disney Lorcana, collectible card games played by millions of people across the globe.
We're the premier organiser of TCG events in the UK and have plans for rapid expansion, so we're now looking for someone to collaborate closely with our Events Manager to:
1. Support the design and delivery of our national events programme - currently 8 weekend events, with 150+ attendees
2. Take the lead on all event operations, including managing event inventory, event set-up and tear-down
3. Identify, negotiate with and manage suppliers
4. Manage a team of up to 40 support staff at each event - judges, meet & greet staff, customer service, etc.
5. Lead and manage customer service
6. Drive improvements in event experience, customer service and efficiency
This isn't an events marketing role (you'll rely on our marketing team for that).
Instead, you'll be very much focused on planning, organising and delivering large events - including overall responsibility for all the practicalities at each event.
We're based in Amersham town centre and you'll mainly be based there, but you'll obviously need to travel regularly across the UK to attend events, including set up and tear down.
A full UK driving licence is essential.
Your working hours will be flexible to accommodate attendance at events, including evenings, weekends and overnight stays - but will generally be based on 40 hours per week.
We're offering a starting salary of £28-32k, with room for growth. #J-18808-Ljbffr
