  • Enforce CitySpace policies and venue guidelines for catering, entertainment, decorations, signage, sponsor activations, alcohol service, and load-in/load-out procedures.
  • Oversee vendor logistics including catering orders, rental orders, delivery windows, storage needs, access/egress, and vendor credentials.
  • Assist in developing and updating venue FAQ's, standard operating procedures (SOPs), safety protocols, lists of preferred vendors, and training materials.
  • Act as a client-facing operations lead, providing consultative guidance on logistics while maintaining a client-first approach to execution.
  • Oversee event setup and breakdown as required, including moving and arranging chairs/tables, placing linens, and managing vendor load-in/out.
  • Ensure kitchen, concessions, and common areas are tidy and compliant with venue standards after events.
  • Foster an environment of openness, teamwork, and cross-departmental collaboration.
