PROJECT COORDINATOR EXECUTIVE
Location: Oldham
Job Type: Permanent
Salary: £20,000 - £24,000 DOE
Location: On-site at OL4 3DZ
OK, we couldn’t decide whether to call this one a Project Coordinator or a Project Executive position, so we went with both.
That’s Gustaf all over. We throw everything at everything.
And the reality is, we’re not the types to be held back by job titles.
You’re just as likely to find our Sales Director putting up a 250 capacity stretch tent in a Scottish field, and our Client Services Director staining a giant lolly stick with Vimto, as you are catching them behind a desk.
That said, some of the awesome stuff we do takes painstaking planning, meticulous focus and the sharpest eye for detail.
During the last 12 months, our team has expertly sourced, lovingly packaged, and efficiently delivered way more than a million employee engagement incentive packages to hundreds of workplaces across the UK and beyond.
And that’s where we’re hoping you come in.
Faced with the challenge of seemingly insane logistical complexity, tight margins and even tighter deadlines, you’re the type who stays as cool as a cucumber rather than get hot under the collar.
You’re mind-bogglingly well-organised and borderline obsessive when it comes to numbers.
Oh, and perseverance and resilience will be other strings to your bow.
But despite being deliriously happy and totally comfortable with the numbers, you won’t be constantly glued to a spreadsheet. You’ll also bring a passion for live events to the party, and love getting stuck in to whatever the day throws at you — as part of a tight, supportive and music-mad team that, when the hard work’s done, knows how to play hard too!
So, if you like the idea of joining one of the most happening and fastest growing events agencies around,
fire off your CV to rick@gustaf.co.uk by 31 March and we'll get back to you, one way or the other, the next week.
THE ROLE
This busy role for a Project Coordinator Executive will involve working alongside our Senior PMs to support the delivery of employee engagement activities.
The range of duties will include:
· Play a crucial role within our Project team supporting our Senior PMs
· Working on a variety of simultaneous projects
· Liaising with clients, negotiating with suppliers and managing carriers
· Supporting with budgets, pitches and proposals
· Supporting the new business team
· Supplier research & liaison
· Administration duties
· Travelling throughout the UK and globally
Full UK driving licence required.
THE CANDIDATE
We’re looking for a passionate Project Coordinator Executive wanting to build a career in the events industry.
It’s crucial you have the drive and motivation to work within a first-class events and creative agency that will give you the opportunity to grow and develop.
In return, we’ll offer you a competitive salary, performance related team bonuses, 28 days holiday, training and some flippin’ brilliant incentive trips and social activities.
We're a lovely bunch that love make amazing things happen. And we’re confident that the right person will absolutely love this job!
ABOUT GUSTAF
Gustaf is a multi-faceted creative business that makes things happen.
We make events more engaging.
We make workplaces more stimulating.
We make team interactions more memorable.
OUR PURPOSE
Create Memories, Cause Goosebumps
OUR VALUES
GAME
Comfort zone? Nah. If an idea gives us goosebumps, makes at least a bit of sense, and we reckon we could do a top job of it…we’re up for the challenge and ready to give it a go. Bring it on.
UGLY
We make gorgeous things happen. But when we need to work scrappy, we do whatever it takes to get the job done.
SOCIAL
We’re all over the socials - big fans. But we’re even better in real life. We love hanging out with great people and live for a good do, whichever side of the bar we’re on. Or kitchen swing door. Or sound booth, or DJ decks.
TIGHT
Like any great rock band on a roll, every member of the Gustaf team performs their individual role to perfection. But together? We work and play in tune, we harmonise brilliantly, and we’ve got each other’s backs. So no fallouts and no TVs out of hotel windows.
AUTHENTIC
We put on a performance, never a pretence. What you see is what you get. Straight-talking but never an unkind word. Always up for a laugh. And it shows.
FAST
It’s all go at Gustaf. We work at a blistering pace, so when we do decide to do something, we don’t hang about. Because if a job’s worth doing, it’s worth doing fast. Anyway, it’s more fun that way.
OUR BRAND PERSONALITY
INSTANTLY LIKEABLE
First impressions count. But we don’t go in for that eyes and teeth nonsense. We’re naturally positive people people. See those smiles? They’re the real deal they are.
RELENTLESSLY ENERGETIC
We bounce out of bed and throw those curtains wide. And because our collective heart’s in it, we’ve got each other’s back. We’re a team that never runs out of steam.
INSATIABLY INVENTIVE
We just can’t help ourselves. We’re a creative bunch that loves to try new stuff. Stuff that’s never been done. Stuff they say can’t be done.
FEARLESSLY CONFIDENT
It’s all about self-belief and being happy to back ourselves, often going with our gut when making big, bold decisions.
