Operations & Strategy Manager

Nearby Now is building the layer that connects people to what's happening around them — small, local, real-world experiences you'd otherwise never hear about.

The role

You own our events end to end — the money, the execution, and the community around them. You also own our social strategy.

What you'll do

Own end-to-end operational execution of all events, from planning and logistics through on-ground delivery and post-event closure
Identify, negotiate, and onboard venue and location partners on commercially favourable terms that minimise fixed cost exposure
Build and manage a talent and vendor network, structuring engagement terms and converting one-off arrangements into long-term partnerships
Drive community building and audience retention across owned channels to sustain repeat participation
Develop and execute the content and social media strategy, including competitive benchmarking, channel mix, and content calendar ownership (preferred)

Good to have: Excel/Sheets at working level (cost sheets, break-even models — no macros needed), Canva, Instagram &amp, Meta Business Suite, WhatsApp Business, Google Forms, Calendar
