Full-Time Middle East Event Planner

I’m building a busy calendar of high-profile corporate gatherings, elegant weddings, and vibrant festivals across Lebanon and need one dedicated professional to own the entire planning cycle. From the moment a date is confirmed through the final guest departure, you’ll be my single point of contact making sure every detail lands perfectly.

Your day-to-day work will centre on three core responsibilities:

• Venue selection – research, shortlist, negotiate, and secure spaces that align with each event’s scale, style, and technical needs.
• Vendor coordination – source and manage caterers, décor teams, AV providers, entertainers, and all other suppliers, locking in contracts and timelines.
• On-site management – lead rehearsals, oversee build-outs, run show-time operations, and troubleshoot in real-time until breakdown is complete.

I expect full-time availability, so you’ll treat this as your primary job rather than a side project. Native-level knowledge of the Lebanese market is essential; Arabic fluency and a solid English command are required for working with international clients and sponsors. Familiarity with regional GCC or North African suppliers is a plus should our footprint expand, but current assignments are entirely Lebanon-based.

Success will be measured by on-time delivery of confirmed venues and vendors, spotless run-of-show execution, and post-event reports summarising budget adherence and guest feedback.

If you thrive under pressure, negotiate like a pro, and love seeing ideas come to life on the ground, I’d love to review your portfolio of past events and set up a call to discuss the upcoming season.
