About Boxbar Tech

Boxbar Tech is an award-winning, high-growth technology company transforming the way drinks are served across events, venues, stadiums, arenas and hospitality environments around the world.

We have developed automated self-service beverage technology designed to increase service speed, reduce lines, improve quality, support operational efficiency and enhance the guest experience. Our technology is already being used across major events, venues, festivals, sports clubs and hospitality organizations, and we are now expanding our US event operations.

We operate at the intersection of technology, hospitality, live events, operations and hardware. We design, build, deploy and support physical technology in live environments where reliability, speed and customer experience really matter. This reflects the wider Boxbar job specification structure and company positioning already used across UK hiring.

About the Role

We are looking for reliable, hands-on and professional Event Operations Leads to support Boxbar at live events across the United States.

In this role, you will help manage Boxbar units and bar areas on site, making sure our technology is set up correctly, operating smoothly and represented to a high standard throughout the event. You will support venue teams, assist with basic troubleshooting, help keep the area clean and organized, and communicate clearly with the Boxbar team before, during and after each event.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone with experience in live events, hospitality, stadiums, arenas, festivals, beverage operations, brand activation, field operations or customer-facing event work.

Full training will be provided, so you do not need to know our technology from day one. What matters most is that you are dependable, calm under pressure, comfortable working in busy live environments and willing to get stuck in.

• Motivated by being part of a fast-growing international technology company.
