Hawthorn, Australia Leonda Receptions Pty Ltd Full time

FILLING CUPS, BELLIES AND HEARTS

That’s us in a nutshell.

Do you love cultivating and building an unforgettable culture for teams to thrive in?

We need you Yes, YOU

We’re searching high and low for that special piece to our event puzzle in the form of an Event Manager. Someone who knows events and enjoys managing teams to execute that perfect event on the night.

We have had a bit of confusion over the role so the last thing we would like to note is that we operate a bit differently. Our Event Coordination and Event Management are two separate teams. This role focuses on executing events on the day while managing a team of up to 30 staff during one event.

**Who are we?**:
First and foremost, Melbourne Event Group (or MEG as we are affectionately known) is a place where people are everything to us, and family is at the core of everything we do. We offer shared hospitality experiences, built from warmth and dedicated service, coupled with simple, flavour-driven food that’s not hiding behind unnecessary fluff.

We’re super proud of being a great place to work, and of the tight-knit bond of our team. We aim to help all our team members develop, grow and remain an integral part of our family. We are always looking for ways to improve and have created a culture based on our values:

- Genuine Connections
- True Professionalism
- The Extra Mile

Anyway Less about us, more about you.

**You are**:

- Excited to get stuck in with an event and lead the Food & beverage team to execute it perfectly
- An ambitious and passionate person who has knowledge in the food & beverage industry
- You love an eclectic mix of individualshospitality breeds them unique
- A people person and a good listener with the ability to make people feel seen and heard
- A positive, can-do attitude
- Someone who is keen to contribute to the growth of MEG by helping us grow our wonderful culture
- Amazing attention to detail, especially with written and verbal communications
- A problem solver Someone with the ability to think on their feet
- A leader who loves to lead

**This is what your day-to-day will probably look like**:
(You can probably guess but let us fill you in anyway)
- Execute events on the day to a high standard across multiple venues
- Effectively managing the Front of House team during events
- Coaching & development of the Front of House team
- Provide consistent, exceptional service that goes the extra mile for clients and guests
- Liaising and building excellent rapport with clients, guests, VIP’s, event organisers and external suppliers (bumping in events, confirming timings etc.) during events
- Establishing collaborative and effective relationships with the kitchen team to ensure accurate and timely service of food
- Actively managing the execution of Event Orders including event timings
- Coordinating FOH team data (including rewards & recognition, certifications, and work rights)
- Constantly role model MEG leadership traits and lead by example
- Efficiently delegate to direct reports and all relevant team members

We have hopefully designed the role with some flexibility in mind. What does this look like? Well:

- Full-time role, 38 hours
- Four days a week on a rotating roster
- This role is about running the Food & Beverage team on the day to execute an event
- While we have a wide range of event types we manage, please be aware we specialise in weddings so most shifts will happen across nights and weekends
- There will be some travel as we operate across a number of venues (though Leonda By The Yarra is our HQ and primary base of operation)

**Some other cool stuff you’ll love**:

- A team who are great to work with: we’re focused, dedicated and tight-knit. We want to help you (and you help us)
- Awesome rewards and recognition for your work. We proudly participate in an internal rewards program. We love to sing each others’ praises and reward those who go the extra mile.
- A day off on your birthday (it’s a special day, we would know)
- We like to party and get together, too, so we have plenty of staff events
- A growing focus on providing Learning & Development opportunities
- Free Parking at MEG HQ - Phew
- Working in a fun and dynamic work environment

If all of this sounds like you, or even just parts of it - we’d love to hear from you

To apply, hit us with your best cover letter telling us what you think helps make a workplace a great place to come into every day and why you’d be a wonderful addition to the MEG team.
