Event Manager (Sports)

An Event Manager in sports is responsible for planning, organising, and delivering sporting events ranging from local tournaments to international competitions. The role involves coordinating with teams, venues, sponsors, and media to ensure events run smoothly and safely. Key duties include budgeting, marketing, managing logistics such as transport and accommodation, overseeing health and safety procedures, and handling unexpected issues on the day. Strong organisational, communication, and leadership skills are essential in this fast-paced and sometimes high-pressure environment. Event Managers often work irregular hours, including evenings and weekends, especially during event periods.
