  • Provide administrative and logistical support to ensure program timelines, milestones, and deliverables are achieved.
  • Operational & Administrative Support

  • Manage ad-hoc priorities as required, demonstrating flexibility in a fast-paced event environment.
  • Onsite Event Delivery

  • Be onsite at Retail Fest, acting as an operational contact for sponsors, exhibitors, and hosted program stakeholders.
  • Support onsite delivery, issue resolution, and stakeholder experience to ensure a smooth and professional event execution.
  • What Success Looks Like

  • Timely and accurate delivery of sponsor and exhibitor contractual benefits
  • High satisfaction from sponsors, exhibitors, and hosted program participants
  • Accuracy and consistency of event website and program information
  • Successful coordination of the Hosted Program with minimal issues or delays
  • Strong onsite operational delivery and stakeholder support
  • Effective support of the Head of Events and broader events team
  • What You’ll Bring
