Poole, United Kingdom LUSH Cosmetics Full time

**Events Production Assistant**

**£26k-£30k**

**Diversity matters
We are building a brand that represents the people of the world. It’s what you do that counts, and we are always looking to expand perspectives and voices to shape our future.

We see you, we celebrate you, we want you

**Who we are**

You might know us as the inventors of the bath bomb, but there’s more to this great-smelling, partly employee owned, family-run company than pioneering cosmetics. We believe our business should put more back into the world than it takes and demonstrate that capitalism can be a force for good. We put our people first and fight cruel practices like animal testing, promote regeneration, and show that it is what’s inside that counts - whether that’s an ingredient in a product, or the minerals in a smartphone.

**The role**

We are seeking a versatile and hands-on Production Assistant with admirable problem-solving skills and a passion for events to help us deliver well-executed brand activations, pop-ups, store events, digital and virtual events.

As well as being extremely practical with a very hands-on experience in events you will have excellent organisational and administrative skills with the ability to prioritise workloads and contribute well-considered thinking to the full end-to-end event management process.

**Key responsibilities**
- Support the team with pre-production planning and preparation for in-person and online events, internal or external
- Support on-site with installs, live days and de-rigs, often requiring weekend work
- Proactively drive the management of our event storage facility and inventory of items within the facility and at other sites
- Liaise with workshop teams and book contractors regarding any required maintenance or new build items needed for upcoming or potential events
- Create and manage load lists
- Regular prepping of items for dispatch and safe transit along with organisation of items when returned
- Instruct casual warehouse operative/s to palletise, load and unload trucks (Undertaking these responsibilities yourself in the absence of a forklift driver/warehouse support)
- Research and source items/materials from a variety of suppliers, obtaining quotes and negotiating services and costs
- Alongside the event ops manager and creative events designer/producer, develop and maintain good relationships with new and existing suppliers
- Work with the team to help analyse event requirements and move forward through all phases of the event from brief building to live event and review
- Assist in creating supportive documentation for event operations, health and safety management and event scheduling
- Help refine and maintain production processes to enhance the efficiency and analysis of projects
- Generate toolkits and resources to share with wider global teams, empowering the whole business to use events as an effective marketing and engagement tool
- Track production expenses and work to specified budgets

**Other responsibilities**
- Remain open and flexible to support all other aspects of the team from design, to content management, operations, logistics, delegate management and communications
- Work with wider teams to develop creative ways to engage with in real life (IRL) and virtual audiences in order to achieve business goals
- Help develop and innovate our digital/virtual events offering in order to compete with and go beyond what other brands are doing
- Seek opportunities for developing your skill set as well as opportunities to upskill and develop others
- Essential skills/attributes
- Excellent attention to detail
- Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Office (Especially Excel)/Google sheets
- Effective interpersonal and communication skills
- Enthusiasm and a willingness to learn, share and work as part of a team
- Practical can-do attitude
- Used to physical work and able to use a pump truck

**Desirable skills**
- Experience with AutoCAD and/or sketch-up
- Experience working with A/V, lighting and/or sound
- Experience working on custom build projects and a basic understanding of carpentry
- Forklift licence

**The successful applicant must be able to work in Poole at least 3 days a week in order to support the running of the events storage facility. As well as travel nationally, maybe even globally on occasions to support events on-site.**

**Why work for us?**

You will play a pivotal supporting role in the Events team, working in a challenging yet fun and fast-paced environment that offers lots of opportunities.

If you have event experience, an adaptable and proactive work ethic and a good sense of humour we'd love to hear from you

**What it’s like working for Lush**

People are at the heart of our business. We want you to enjoy and challenge yourself, build a meaningful career, and teach us what we don’t know, so we’ve created a culture where your job description is a starting point, not an end goal. Our working style is flexible, flui
