• 3–5 years’ experience in event/project management, ideally in sports.

• Strong financial administration skills (budgets, POs, reconciliations).

• Proven ability to work under pressure and manage multiple priorities.

• Excellent communication, organisational, and client service skills.

• Hands-on experience with suppliers, logistics, and RSVP platforms.
