Possessing the ability to work on your own initiative, you must be flexible and adaptable, with the ability to engage personably with all stake holders. Someone who can work well in a team environment, you'll also have excellent IT, communication, and interpersonal skills.

You'll have proven experience of running events on an operational level. In-depth knowledge of the industry is essential and any knowledge of working within a heritage setting will stand you in good stead.

Finally, you must be prepared to work flexible hours including evenings and weekends as and when the events schedule requires it.
