You will play a key part in making sure each event runs smoothly, feels well organised and reflects the high standards of Manchester City.
Who We Are
Manchester City is a football club rooted in East Manchester, with a story that began in 1880 and continues to grow today. Built on resilience, belief and togetherness, success on the pitch is driven by the moments and memories shared with millions of Fans around the world. City is known for its bravery, its determination to the very end and its strong connection to where we come from. With Mancunian roots and a global outlook, we are shaped by our Fans and driven by a long-term vision, from developing future talent to supporting the communities we call home.

Day to day, you will support event set-up and close-down, walk customer journeys, brief teams, and work closely with internal colleagues to make sure requirements are delivered on time. You will also support customer service on event days, handling queries, responding professionally to feedback and helping to maintain a calm, organised and welcoming environment.
