Person Specification

This role would suit somebody who has a keen interest in gaming events who is looking to step into a full-time role with plenty of opportunities to specialise and grow as the world of events continues its post-COVID recovery.

You will need to be really organised and have a great mind for logistics, planning and timing.

Naturally an interest in gaming and esports would be a huge help, especially to understand some of the unique quirks of gaming events.

You will be dealing with other businesses verbally and in writing so we do need a high standard of written English to fulfil these tasks and you will require a good technical knowledge of hardware and software used in this environment as well as basic office software.
