Quick snapshot of the three roles
| Role | Openings | Pay quoted on circulating listing | Experience asked |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inventory Officer | 1 | ₦150,000 on probation, ₦200,000 after | Organised, detail-oriented. Event stock experience helps. |
| Decorators | 10 | ₦80,000 on probation, ₦120,000 after | Creative and hardworking. Décor experience is an advantage, not a lock. |
| Client Relations Officer | 1 | ₦100,000 monthly | Strong communication. Customer or events background helps. |
Treat those figures as reported, not as a signed offer. The official flyer GEM HR posted did not print salary. Confirm pay at interview before you resign anything.
Who is hiring: GEM HR vs the event company
GEM HR Consulting (also seen as Gem HR & Consulting Services) is a Lekki-based recruiter. They post daily vacancies for other firms. They are not the event company. Their disclaimer says they sit between applicants and employers.
The apply email is hr@cynosureng.com, not a generic GEM inbox. That usually means the client, or a specialist desk handling this brief, will read the mail. Do not send money to anyone who claims to “process” this vacancy. Real Lagos recruiters do not charge candidates to apply.

Inventory Officer — 1 position
This is the control job. Event companies lose money when chairs, drapes, centrepieces and lighting kits walk, break, or get booked twice. You keep the count honest.
ALSO APPLY: Jobs in Abuja, Lagos, Delta and Port Harcourt
What the flyer asks
- Energetic, organised, detail-oriented
- Accurate inventory records
What the work actually looks like
You receive décor and equipment after events. You check items against the pull list. You log damage. You restock consumables. You tell the décor lead what is short before the next load-out. Excel or a simple stock sheet is enough on day one. Barcodes help later.
Similar event-inventory roles in Lagos currently advertise ₦80,000–₦250,000. Hospitality inventory in Lekki often sits around ₦120,000–₦200,000. The ₦150k / ₦200k split on this brief is inside that band.
Who fits
You last ran a store, warehouse, restaurant stock room, or rental inventory. You can count under pressure. You do not guess. You write it down.
ALSO APPLY: Other Available Event Management and Decorations Opportunities
Decorators — 10 positions
Ten seats is a bulk hire. The company is either stacking a busy season or building a standing décor crew. Expect physical work, late pack-downs, and weekends. Weddings and corporate events in Lekki do not run on a 9-to-5 clock.
What the flyer asks
- Creative, energetic, hardworking
- Event decoration experience is an added advantage
What “added advantage” means here
You can still apply with no formal décor CV if you have staged rooms, styled photoshoots, or worked as a décor assistant. Bring phone photos. Recruiters for this kind of role look at hands and stamina first, certificates second.
Pay on the longer listing starts at ₦80,000 during probation. That is entry-level for Lagos décor crews. After confirmation it moves to ₦120,000. Senior décor leads and event managers in Lekki list far higher — ₦200,000 to ₦400,000 — but those jobs want 3–5 years and client handling. This advert is for the floor team.
Practical requirements nobody printed
- Ability to lift and carry décor pieces
- Willingness to work Saturdays and some Sundays
- Residence close enough to reach Lekki Phase 1 without missing call time

Client Relations Officer — 1 position
You are the face on WhatsApp, calls and walk-ins. You take briefs, chase confirmations, calm a client when the florist is late, and hand a clean handover to décor and inventory.
What the flyer asks
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
- Friendly, professional, customer-focused
What will get you shortlisted
Clear written English. Fast replies. No shouting on the phone. Experience in customer service, front desk, events coordination or hospitality beats a generic admin CV. The circulating listing puts this role at ₦100,000. That is modest for Lekki client-facing work. Use the interview to ask about commission, event allowances, or a review after probation.
Location filter: Lekki Phase 1, Jakande, Agungi
The official flyer says Lekki Phase 1, Lagos. The longer post narrows it: candidates around Jakande, Agungi and nearby areas only.
That is not snobbery. Event call times are early. Traffic from Ikorodu or the mainland will make you late on a Saturday load-in. If you already live on the island or can move fast, say so in line one of your email. If your commute is two hours on a good day, this brief will waste both sides.
How to apply without getting ignored

What to expect after you hit send
GEM HR and similar Lagos recruiters rarely reply to everyone. Shortlists get a call or a WhatsApp. If you hear nothing in 10–14 days, the brief is either filled or your mail missed the filter.
Do not follow up five times in 48 hours. One polite follow-up after a week is enough:
Following up on my application for Decorator sent on [date]. I remain available and based in Agungi.
Red flags and sanity checks
- Nobody should ask you to pay for “form”, “uniform” or “placement” before an offer letter.
- The official apply address on this advert is hr@cynosureng.com. Treat any other inbox claiming the same roles with caution.
- GEM HR posts many Lekki briefs. Cross-check the flyer logo and the email against their public posts before you share your BVN or bank details. You should not need those to apply.
FAQ
How do I apply for these GEM HR event jobs in Lekki Phase 1?
Email your PDF CV to hr@cynosureng.com. Put the exact job title and your name in the subject. State your area in the first paragraph. Apply for one role per email.
What is the salary for an event decorator in Lagos in 2026?
Entry décor crew roles often start between ₦70,000 and ₦120,000. The circulating listing for this GEM HR brief quotes ₦80,000 on probation and ₦120,000 after. Leads and event managers in Lekki advertise ₦200,000 and up.
Is GEM HR Consulting a real company?
Yes. GEM HR is an active Lagos recruiter with a LinkedIn page and regular Lekki job posts. They recruit on behalf of clients. They are not the event company you will work for.
Do I need décor experience to apply for the 10 decorator roles?
The flyer calls experience an added advantage, not a must. Show photos, assistant work, or any styled-setup work. Fitness and weekend availability matter as much as a polished portfolio at this level.
Can I apply if I live on the mainland?
The longer listing asks for Jakande, Agungi and surrounding areas. Mainland applicants with no realistic event-day commute will struggle. Say your exact area. Do not pretend you live in Lekki if you do not.
Apply today, then keep hunting
These event company jobs in Lekki Phase 1 will fill fast because ten decorator seats pull a lot of CVs. Send the email today if you match the area and the hours. Then keep applying elsewhere. One brief is not a career plan.
Use the template. Attach one clean PDF. Write the job title in the subject. That is the whole process.
