A fantastic opportunity has arisen for an experienced operations/events professional to set up and operate a brand new purpose-built visitor pavilion based on the site of a prestigious new development at Brent Cross. This area will become a new town centre for north London and will provide homes, workspace, 50 acres of green parks and playing fields and a pedestrian friendly high street with local shops and restaurants, which will complement the offer at Brent Cross Shopping Centre. The pavilion is based on the development site and will become the go-to destination for all who wish to find out more about the future of Brent Cross.
As General Manager & Host, you will be responsible for creating a safe, welcoming and professional atmosphere that meets the needs and expectations of its many and diverse visitors. An early priority will be to set up policies and procedures relating to the day-to-day running of the space and to any events that may be planned.
You will need to work autonomously, to lead a small team and to quickly develop your local knowledge of the development plans. You will present the scheme to visitors in the exhibition space using both the latest technology and the architectural scale model of the area. You will also supervise security and housekeeping staff.
You will be the brand champion for the Pavilion, lead events, talks and tours working with the Welcome Hosts to deliver a continuous programme of activities. You will use your strong presentation skills to make presentations to visitors - some informal and some more formal. You will also provide visitor insight and feedback to the marketing team, provide weekly and monthly reporting and manage ancillary and external staff such as security and cleaning operatives.
The ideal candidate will have experience of managing a small event, exhibition or public space or similar and will have line management experience. A working knowledge of Health and Safety is also desirable.
The Pavilion will be open 9am-6pm Wednesday-Sunday except for Thursday when it will remain open till 8pm. It will be closed on Monday and Tuesday. You will work a 40 hour week and some flexibility will be given as to days/hours to suit.
