The Event Support Supervisor leads the Event Support team, ensuring that administrative and operational processes run smoothly and consistently. This includes overseeing the allocation of freelance crew, management of equipment manifests, transport coordination, and payment workflows.

The Supervisor will provide stability, oversight, and leadership to ensure the department runs smoothly. Rather than handling transactions directly, they create the conditions for the team to thrive--clearing bottlenecks, resolving problem cases, and stepping in where higher-level support is needed. They work closely with Global Accounts Payable to manage rush payments and complex vendor issues, ensuring that suppliers and freelancers are paid accurately and on time.

This role brings structure and focus to a busy environment, balancing workload management with coaching and process refinement. The Supervisor champions efficiency, accountability, and communication--bridging the gap between local operations and global AP to keep everything on track. Ultimately, they help maintain a high-pressure function into a well-run system that delivers consistently and confidently.
