Event Operations Manager

Lead the Preparation. Stay Involved in Delivery.

You know that a successful event depends on clear responsibilities, accurate arrangements, and a team that can respond when plans change.

We’re hiring an Event Operations Manager in New Orleans to oversee assigned event logistics and coordinate delivery with colleagues, venues, and suppliers. You’ll translate event plans into practical schedules, brief the team, and stay involved from setup through closeout.

• Build operational schedules, checklists, and staffing plans.
• Confirm venue access, supplier arrangements, and equipment requirements.
• Brief colleagues on responsibilities, timings, and escalation procedures.
• Coordinate setup and check readiness before attendees arrive.
• Monitor event activity and resolve logistical issues within agreed authority.
• Track resources and approved expenses.
• Oversee pack-down and review feedback to improve future delivery.

Experience in events, hospitality supervision, venue operations, or team leadership is preferred. You should be able to show how you’ve coordinated people, handled changing requirements, and taken responsibility for delivery.

A specific degree isn’t required. Strong organization, clear communication, sound judgment, and familiarity with schedules and spreadsheets are important.

You’ll receive guidance on company procedures, venue requirements, and reporting expectations while working with the wider management team.

The role includes local event venues. Event timings, travel arrangements, and any evening or weekend requirements will be discussed during recruitment.

Reliable attendance in New Orleans is required.
