  1. Experience leading an events team within a venue-based F&B department, with strong mentoring and development skills.
  2. Proven success in managing commercial event operations and sales, achieving revenue targets, and optimising financial performance.
  3. Strong stakeholder management skills, fostering productive internal and external relationships.
  4. Financial acumen, including budget oversight, financial reporting, and performance analysis.
