Market and events manager

Create experiences that move the city

Play Braamfontein is looking for a dynamic and detail-driven market and events manager to lead the coordination and execution of events and activations across our diverse hospitality and cultural venues. From high-energy club nights and street market to private functions and brand activations, you’ll be the driving force behind making it all happen - seamlessly, memorably, and with style.

This is a high-impact role that requires a sharp organiser, natural leader, and creative problem solver who thrives on juggling multiple moving parts and departments, from kitchen to bar, front-of-house to sound and lighting, and everything in between.

What you'll be responsible for

  • Venue management: Oversee event operations across multiple Play Braamfontein venues including The Playground, Kitcheners, The Beach, Hugh’s Jazz Lounge and others.
  • Event coordination: Manage the full event lifecycle - planning, setup, execution, and breakdown - for internal and external events.
  • Team liaison: Coordinate with internal departments (Bar, Kitchen, FOH, Cleaners, Security, Tech) to ensure all roles are aligned and prepared.
  • Supplier and partner management: Liaise with external service providers including security companies, sound and lighting teams, event decorators, vendors and brand partners.
  • Market operations: Manage weekly markets, vendor logistics, stall allocation, compliance, and trade readiness.
  • Compliance and safety: Ensure all activations meet health, safety and licensing requirements.
  • Creative collaboration: Work with the marketing team to bring themed events and brand activations to life.
  • Budgeting and reporting: Work within event budgets, track spend, and report on outcomes.
What you’ll bring
  • Proven experience (3–5 years) in event or market management within hospitality, nightlife, or entertainment environments.
  • Excellent coordination, time management and communication skills.
  • Strong leadership skills with the ability to motivate and guide cross-functional teams.
  • Calm under pressure and quick on your feet - a true fixer and problem-solver.
  • Strong network of service providers (security, tech, staging, vendors, etc.) is a bonus.
  • Passion for events, live music, food culture, and creating unforgettable experiences.
  • Willingness to work weekends, evenings, and non-traditional hours.

Why Play Braamfontein?

Play Braam isn’t just a collection of venues - it’s a movement. As a cultural precinct in the heart of Johannesburg, our mission is to create experiences that bring people together, inspire creativity, and energise the city.

If you’re ready to make your mark on Johannesburg’s most iconic venues and be at the centre of Braamfontein’s creative pulse - this is your stage.
