Conduct pre-event briefings with all staff and vendors to ensure seamless communication and execution.
Uphold and enforce all venue policies, safety standards, and health codes.

Required Qualifications & Skills:

Flexibility to work a non-traditional schedule, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, as required by the event calendar.

What We Offer:
