Event Manager

Role Overview

The Event Manager leads the end-to-end commercial strategy, production, and operational execution of all flagship club nights, international artist bookings, VIP activations, and private corporate buyouts. Operating in a fast-paced, high-volume public entertainment environment, this role carries full event P&L accountability and requires strict compliance with Singapore regulatory frameworks. This is a strictly managerial and commercial leadership position with zero performing or patron-hosting duties.

• Regulatory & Licensing Compliance: Ensure 100% adherence to the Public Entertainments Act, Singapore Police Force (SPF) licensing conditions, SCDF fire safety occupancy limits, and NEA noise regulations across all events.
• Production & Technical Execution: Direct external sound, lighting, visual, and stage production teams from pre-production rigging to live show execution. Maintain strict turnaround timelines for high-frequency weekend programming.
• Corporate Buyouts & Brand Sponsorships: Pitch, negotiate, and close high-value private venue buyouts and beverage/luxury brand sponsorships. Serve as the primary executive liaison for corporate clients and brand partners.
• Cross-Departmental Floor Command: Lead pre-event briefings and coordinate seamlessly with Security, Bar Operations, VIP Table Management, and Ticketing teams during peak late-night operating hours.
• Post-Event Analytics & Reporting: Deliver detailed post-mortem financial reports, attendance analytics, and ROI assessments to senior leadership to refine future programming calendars.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Proven Track Record: Minimum 4-6 years of experience managing high-capacity nightlife events, music festivals, or large-scale public entertainment venues.
• Financial & Contractual Acumen: Demonstrated ability to manage six-figure event budgets, negotiate complex talent and vendor contracts, and drive measurable revenue growth.
• Regulatory Knowledge: Strong working familiarity with Singapore public entertainment licensing, workplace safety (WSH) standards, and crowd management protocols.
• Schedule & Pressure Resilience: Proven ability to lead high-stakes operations during late-night hours, weekends, and public holidays while maintaining daytime corporate accountability.
