✔ Engage with event partners, ensuring SunGod's reputation is upheld.

✔ Support commercial planning and operations, ensuring events contribute to wider business objectives and sales growth.

✔ Champion organisation and attention to detail, keeping multiple projects on track and delivering to tight deadlines.

✔ Understand SunGod’s triple bottom line of people, planet and profit, and incorporate this into your job role every day.
