**Event Operations Supervisor - £31,000 [Inclusive of basic salary + Tronc] - Full Time Role (40 hours a week)**

Since its opening in July 2019 The Standard, London has boldly propelled The Standard brand onto the international stage. Housed in the former Camden Town Hall Annex in London’s thriving King’s Cross neighbourhood, the 1974 Brutalist building has been meticulously restored and sets the perfect stage for The Standard’s first hotel outside America. The hotel playfully respects the building's history while creating new expansive spaces for the neighbourhood to play from our bars, terraces, restaurants, lounges and event spaces throughout the building.

**For our dedicated event spaces and suites, we are now seeking an Events Operations Supervisor.**

The Townhouse on our 8th floor is an events and meeting destination designed for work and play in mind. Taking inspiration from a 1980s New York Townhouse, it features a living space with mid-century cool sofas, a vinyl library and listening area, two dining spaces, a working kitchen and sweeping wrap around terrace with views of the London skyline. The Townhouse on the 9th floor has a more simple modular design and can easily be transformed from 3 separate rooms into one larger space, all complete with floor-to-ceiling views of the city of London and St Pancras clocktower and station.
