This is an exciting opportunity to join our friendly team as we welcome visitors, customers and venue clients to our busy and dynamic building.
The Deputy Operations Manager deputises for the Operations Manager across all on-site operations, including planning for successful event delivery, being a key holder, being on call to attend if required out of hours, and liaising with the Infrastructure & Facilities Manager.
