* Provide commercial and operational input into tournament budgets and planning.
* Monitor progress against agreed business plans, identifying and escalating significant risks or barriers where required.  
** Bringing Teams Together
*** Coordinate expertise from across the European Tour Group to support the successful development and delivery of your allocated tournaments.
* Help ensure event plans align with relevant Group requirements, governance and Hotel Planner Tour objectives.
* Facilitate clear, effective communication between promoters and internal stakeholders.
