Mandatory Skills:

- Excellent written English with a clear, polite, and professional tone for supplier correspondence

- Proven experience coordinating multiple projects or events at the same time without losing track

- Exceptional organizational skills and accuracy with dates, times, names, and numbers

- Confident handling high volumes of email and WhatsApp correspondence

- Strong follow-up discipline, with the habit of chasing outstanding items until they are resolved

- Comfortable working in spreadsheets and shared trackers or project management tools

- Sound judgment on what to handle directly and what to escalate

- Conscientious, accurate, and able to manage your own workload

- Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach

Preferred Skills:

- Background in events, weddings, hospitality, travel, or venue coordination

- Experience corresponding with hotels, venues, or suppliers on bookings and contracts

- Familiarity with project management tools such as Notion, ClickUp, Asana, or Trello

- Adept at keeping several projects on track together under deadline pressure

Why Join Us:

You will work on real events with real deadlines, where your organization directly shapes how someone's wedding day turns out. The team is collaborative and the work is varied, with no two weddings the same. If you take pride in being the person who never lets a detail slip, you will fit in well here.
