Ensure appropriate focus on the cinch Championships overlay build programme at the Queens Club which is complex, space-constrained and time-constrained.
Support Tournament Directors in building relationships with key local licensing authorities / individuals, such as the Chairs of Safety Advisory Groups, and with the Leaders of Local Councils to influence them to provide more in-kind support for our Major Events.
Develop appropriate readiness plans – including contingency plans and crisis communication plans – and oversee desktop exercises that allow the event operations teams to be fully prepared for all events.
Given that rain delays/rain cancellations consistently have the biggest impact on the success of the LTA’s events, further develop wet weather contingency plans to improve the experience for impacted customer groups during our Tournaments.

Event Delivery

Implement consistent Tournament policies and procedures.
Implement consistent event operations processes, including Daily Run Sheets, Event Control Room meetings and introduce a common event reporting framework to allow key event information to be shared with the Director of Major Events & Digital.

Support the Event teams during the events as required.

Event Transformation

Conduct a thorough annual event debriefing process that captures all key lessons learned from a venue perspective, from a customer perspective and from a service/function perspective.
Implement initiatives that help “Open Tennis Up” such as further developing activation plans that create “Tennis Festivals” in our venues/cities during the tournaments that enable our events to act as a catalyst for reaching new audiences and delivering on our broader organisational objectives.
Consider strategic optimisations needed to our venues, such as the North Area of the Queens Club site or improvements to player flows/journeys at Eastbourne.
Drive operational efficiencies across all tournaments and implement new Event Operating Models that improve the quality and consistency of tournament delivery whilst lowering the cost of delivering tournaments (eg. through procurement savings).
Take a more customer-centric approach to event planning and delivery and improve year-on-year the experience of players (and their support staff), the media, spectators, commercial partners and the event workforce.
Support the Director of Major Events & Digital and the Head of Tennis Relations & Event Development with projects to further develop the LTA’s Major Event portfolio, such as bids for Major Events (eg. Billie Jean Cup Finals), strategic reviews of the Grass Court Season and as a result of any strategic changes being made by the ATP and WTA to the Tour Calendars, Tournament standards etc.
Bring together key internal and external stakeholders to improve the way we work with technical/hardware partners (Hawkeye, Crionet, Flightscope etc) and broadcast partners (eg. BBC, Amazon Prime)
