Contract: Fixed-Term (4–5 Months)
Start Date: October onwards

At Stretch and Fold Yoga Studio & Seasonal Café, we bring together food, community, creativity, and wellbeing under one roof. Alongside our café and yoga offering, we host a vibrant programme of private events, workshops, supper clubs, wine tastings, celebrations, corporate gatherings, and community experiences.

We're looking for an experienced, highly organized, and proactive Events & Experiences Manager to join us on a fixed-term maternity cover contract. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who loves hospitality, enjoys building relationships, and thrives on creating memorable guest experiences from the first enquiry through to flawless delivery.

This is a varied role that combines event management, guest experiences, marketing, operational coordination, and venue management. You'll oversee everything from private events and group bookings to partnerships, communications, booking systems, and ensuring our venue continues to reflect the quality and warmth of the Stretch and Fold brand.

About the Role

As Events & Experiences Manager, you'll oversee the planning, coordination, and successful delivery of our events and experiences programme. Acting as the primary point of contact for clients, guests, suppliers, and internal teams, you'll ensure every event and group booking is thoughtfully organized and executed to the highest standard.

You'll manage enquiries, bookings, marketing communications, invoicing, booking systems, and website updates while supporting the day-to-day organization of the venue. This role requires someone who is equally comfortable planning behind the scenes, communicating with clients, solving operational challenges, and being present on the ground during events.

You'll be joining a fast-moving, collaborative environment where no two weeks are the same.

What You'll Do

• Manage the end-to-end planning and delivery of private and public events

• Manage the bookings inbox, handling day-to-day event, venue, partnership, and collaboration enquiries

• Manage our group bookings and experiences programme (2–30 guests), including studio, sauna and café packages, birthdays, bachelorettes, company off-sites, workshops, and private gatherings

• Develop event proposals, quotations, contracts, and booking documentation

• Coordinate event logistics, timelines, staffing, suppliers, and operational requirements

• Work closely with the kitchen, front-of-house, and management teams to ensure seamless execution

• Process event invoicing, payments, and reporting

• Coordinate event marketing materials with our designer, including posters, calendars, and on-site collateral

• Write and send our weekly email newsletter, promoting events, experiences, and studio news

• Manage booking and organizational systems including Notion, Google Workspace, WeTicket, Bsport, Tebi, Acuity Scheduling, Locaties, Linktree, and Squarespace

• Support overall venue standards across cleanliness, organization, presentation, and brand integrity

• Identify opportunities to improve processes and enhance our events and experiences offering

• Support business development by nurturing client relationships and encouraging repeat bookings

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience in event management, hospitality management, venue management, or a similar role

• Exceptional organizational and project management skills

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

• A calm, professional, and solutions-focused approach. Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to think on your feet

• Comfortable using a range of digital systems and quick to learn new platforms

• Confidence managing events both independently and collaboratively

• Comfortable working flexible hours, including evenings and occasional weekends when events require

• A genuine passion for hospitality, wellbeing, community, and creating memorable experiences

About You

You're proactive, adaptable, and highly organized. You enjoy juggling moving parts and bringing order to complexity. You have a natural ability to build trust with clients, guests, and colleagues alike, and you're happiest when turning ideas into well-executed experiences.

Whether you're coordinating an intimate workshop, a company off-site, a birthday celebration, or a sold-out evening event, you take pride in ensuring every detail is considered and every guest feels genuinely cared for. You enjoy balancing creativity with organization and are just as comfortable updating a website or writing a newsletter as you are welcoming guests or troubleshooting during an event.

You remain calm under pressure, approach challenges with creativity and confidence, and understand that exceptional experiences are built on thoughtful planning, excellent communication, and strong operational foundations.

What We Offer

• The opportunity to work within a unique hospitality and wellness concept

• A varied and engaging role with real ownership and responsibility

• A creative, community-focused workplace

• The chance to shape and deliver a growing programme of events and experiences

• A supportive and collaborative team environment

(unofficial titles include: Pool Boy, Maintenance Legend, Founder’s Right Hand)

Stretch & Fold is looking for someone to help take the guest experience to the next level — the person who makes sure everything looks tidy, smells good, runs smoothly, and the pool is always measured and immaculate. Think: part facilities wizard, part event-day fixer, and — most importantly — an esteemed member of our illustrious pool maintenance crew. You're the reason things just work before anyone notices they could've gone wrong.

This isn't a back-of-house role. You'll be visible, hands-on, and trusted — working in direct collaboration with the founders as a right hand for anything operational that touches the guest experience.

What you'll actually do:
- Keep the pool, sauna, and grounds spotless, balanced, and guest-ready every single day
- Spot the small stuff before guests do — a loose tile, a low towel stack, a chair that's not quite where it should be
- Run logistics during events: setup, breakdown, vendor coordination, making sure the space transforms on time and looks great doing it
- Handle hands-on maintenance fixes (or know when to call in the right person)
- Be a friendly, capable face for guests — the kind of person who makes Stretch & Fold feel like a second home

You're a good fit if you:
- Like physical, hands-on work and don't mind getting your hands wet (literally — pool chemistry included)
- Are reliable, proactive, and notice details other people walk past
- Can lift, move, and set up things without it being a whole event
- Manage your own time well and don't need to be micromanaged
- Work well solo but also love being part of a small, tight team
- Are available for some evenings/weekends when events happen

What you get:
- A genuinely good place to work — yoga, sauna, pool, community, good food
- Real autonomy over how you manage your day
- Direct mentorship and a real path to more responsibility as we grow

€6,3 - €17,9 per hour depending on age (incl. both holiday pay and paid out vacation days).

To apply, please send your CV and a brief introduction outlining your relevant experience and why you'd be a great fit for Stretch and Fold Yoga Studio & Seasonal Café.
