- Collaborate with internal stakeholders to understand brand and product requirements and ensure showroom reflects commercial priorities
- Manage external supplier and trade fair relationships, including logistics, agreements, budgets, and bump in/out coordination for events such as Reed Gift Fairs
- Plan and project manage against key business timelines, ensuring all VM and event activity is delivered on schedule
- Maintain a flexible approach to hours around critical business periods, with TOIL provided to balance peak delivery phases

- A strong creative eye and the ability to interpret and execute a creative direction with precision and flair
- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills — comfortable working across internal teams and external partners
- Solid project management instincts with the ability to juggle multiple priorities against firm business timelines

- Demonstrated ability to lead a small team, set rosters and manage workflow across peak and steady-state periods preferred
- Flexibility to work occasional weekend shifts for trade fair events (once or twice per year) and adaptability around peak delivery windows
- A hands-on, ownership mindset — someone who takes pride in the finished product and holds themselves accountable to the standard
Why You'll Love It Here
