Job description

Fancy working for one of Britain’s best loved landmarks. Well, look no further, the world-famous Blackpool Tower is looking to hire an Assistant Events Manager to support with the attractions events operations and guide our clients every step of the way, ensuring an efficient full cycle planning service.

It’s safe to say that no day is the same here. Working alongside the Events Operations Manager to ensure that each event we deliver has an unarguable wow factor! With 11 different rooms within 5 amazing attractions, we can host from 2 guests to over 2000 guests, meaning there is a broad spectrum of events to balance.

You could find yourself coordinating Bongo Bingo or a Northern Soul Dance Event in the Tower Ballroom one day and a company conference at the Top of the Tower the next. And of course, that’s not to mention the glitter and sparkle that’s required when Strictly comes to town! Whatever the event, you will be collaborating closely with clients, ensuring a constant delivery of operational excellence and customer service.

You’ll be meeting clients, creating relationships in the lead up to the event, as well as conducting a full debrief afterwards. You’ll need to work closely with operational departments ahead of events to ensure they have all information needed to run efficiently and will support the Events Operations Manager to guarantee a safe and effective operation. Ensuring all health and safety measures, control and documentation is in place.

This permanent full-time role will be delivered mainly during business hours, however, due to the nature of the industry you’ll be expected to work regular evenings, weekends and bank holidays depending on what events we have scheduled.

• The confidence to supporting and delivering both large events and functions, including food and beverage, event logistics, banqueting, music, and dance
• Have experience in working with third party suppliers
• Passion and dedication to deliver a high standard of customer service
• Strong leadership skills
• Good communication skills and attention to detail
