Events Floor Manager - Greece

Evenings at Peligoni are a unique affair with something different happening each night; add to this a number of weddings during the low season, our Guest Chef series, wellness focused weeks and our annual House Party, we have a number of events to deliver over the course of the season.

We are looking for an experienced Events Floor Manager to take the lead in ensuring all of our weekly events are well prepared for and delivered to the high standard that our guests expect. They must have a commitment to the club’s ethos and the ability to support a team with varied experience and responsibilities in what can often be a high-pressure environment.

They will also work closely with our full time events team on the delivery of our Guest Chef Series and weddings – focusing on and preparing for all F&B aspects of the event and running the floor on the day. In addition to this, they will be also be an integral part of the team when it comes to delivering our Special Events weeks

The season kicks off with PACE – a week of wellness that balances fitness and mindfulness with feasts, creative workshops and social gatherings. It offers a chance for guests to unwind, relax and recharge whilst keeping the club’s spirit of a long lunch and a glass of rose by the sea very much intact.

We host a number of weekly events including our family barbeque and food festival nights: live music accompanies pop up food stalls where our chefs produce creative and tasty street food.

Throughout the low season we also host our Guest Chef Series. Now in it’s sixth year, accomplished chefs join us each week working directly with our kitchen team to showcase their talent and produce a delicious and exciting menu to dazzle foodie fans, staff and guests alike.

Towards the end of the season, we host our House Party – four days of sun filled revelry featuring live music, creative workshops and elaborate feasts. This is the highlight of our season and whilst an incredible amount of hard work is required, we enjoy it just as much as the guests.

In addition to this, we will be hosting a wedding almost every week of the low season, each a little different and not only involving the traditional wedding breakfast but also other events such as cocktail parties on the decks, intimate ceremonies in olive groves and daytime pool parties in one of our stunning guest villas.

We are looking for an experienced, self-motivated and confident all-rounder with an impeccable attention to detail and a strong F&B background. This is a challenging but extremely rewarding role for those who thrive when given responsibility and gain satisfaction from being part of a team.
