• Work with technology and robotics teams to translate emerging capabilities into compelling event experiences.
• Research robotics and event trends to continuously refresh the company's show portfolio.

1. Event Planning

• Own the end-to-end planning and execution of events from initial brief to post-event review.
• Coordinate venue requirements including space, flooring, power, connectivity, access, storage and operating conditions.
• Conduct site surveys and technical walkthroughs to identify operational constraints early.
• Coordinate rehearsals, demonstrations, stage movements, audience interaction and show cues.
• Manage event setup, live operations and teardown.

1. Resource Planning

• Prepare event quotations, budgets and cost models covering:
• Robot and technical resources
• Manpower
• Venue, connectivity requirements, Logistics and transportation
• Insurance and permits
• Customisation and content development
• Setup and stand down
• Build reusable costing templates and event packages to improve work efficiency.

1. Robotics & Technical Operations

• Plan robot deployment, transportation, charging, batteries, controllers, networking and supporting equipment.
• Ensure pre-event testing, rehearsal and technical readiness.
• Establish operational checklists and contingency plans for robot or technology failures.
• Coordinate technical troubleshooting during live events and ensure appropriate escalation.
• Maintain equipment inventory, readiness schedules and deployment records.

1. Safety & Risk Management

• Incorporate robotics-specific safety requirements into every event plan.
• Establish robot operating zones, crowd separation, emergency stop procedures and safe operating protocols.
• Conduct event risk assessments and ensure appropriate mitigation measures are in place.
• Coordinate relevant venue requirements, permits, insurance and safety documentation.
• Develop contingency plans for robot failure, network failure, power issues, venue changes and other show disruptions.

1. Point of Contact

• Act as the primary client contact from initial enquiry through event completion.
• Understand client objectives and translate them into practical robotics experiences.
• Manage expectations around robot capabilities, limitations, operating conditions and show requirements.
