  • Act as senior operational lead during high-profile and complex events

  • Partner closely with Sales & Events to ensure smooth handovers and accurate execution

  • Lead, coach and develop Event Operations managers and floor leadership teams

  • Drive service standards, brand alignment and continuous improvement

  • Ensure effective staffing, scheduling and cost control across events

  • Maintain compliance with health, safety and licensing requirements

  • Build strong cross-departmental relationships to deliver unified guest experiences


About You

  • Proven senior experience in event operations or banqueting within a luxury hotel or high-end hospitality environment

  • Strong leadership presence with the ability to inspire confidence and calm under pressure

  • Commercially astute with a clear understanding of event profitability and resource planning

  • Exceptionally organised, detail-driven and guest-focused

  • Comfortable working with VIP clients, large-scale events and complex logistics

  • Flexible to support evening, weekend and peak event schedules


Why Join Us

This is a rare opportunity to be part of a landmark luxury opening and to help shape the culture, standards and future of event operations at The Chancery Rosewood. You’ll join a collaborative senior leadership team committed to excellence, creativity and relationship-driven hospitality.
