Job Description
We’re looking for a Senior Events Manager to take the lead on a major European industry event, plus a year-round programme of smaller community events.
This is a proper delivery role. You’ll be close to everything – planning, suppliers, build, on-site delivery and making sure it all comes together smoothly when it matters.
B2B Large Scale Event experience is essential.
The flagship event runs across multiple days and venues, with thousands of people attending. It is evolving into something bigger and more ambitious each year, and you’ll have a real hand in shaping how it looks and feels, not just how it runs.
The rest of the year is about keeping things moving. Smaller events that keep the community connected and engaged between the big moments.
This isn’t an events role within a venue or hotel, and you won’t be working agency-side to deliver against a client’s brief. You’ll be working for the business behind the events, with direct responsibility for how they come together. That gives you the opportunity to influence the creative, make decisions, and take real ownership of delivering events that stand out.
You’ll naturally end up across things like:
- Pulling together large scale live events from early planning through to breakdown
- Working with venues, suppliers, production teams and contractors
- Shaping layouts, flow and on site experience
- Keeping budgets under control and suppliers moving
- Being on site across build and live days when things are fast and messy
- Running smaller community events throughout the year
- Keeping everything organised in monday.com
- Working with internal teams on comms, registration and attendee experience
Required skills
You’ll probably be a good fit if:
- You’ve spent 4 plus years running large live events or b2b conferences
- Owned events end to end, not just supported delivery
- Comfortable juggling a lot of moving parts without losing control of the detail
- Au fait with suppliers, budgets and problem solving on the day
- Can stay calm when plans change because they will!
- Enjoy working in small teams where everyone just gets stuck in
Benefits
What’s on offer:
- £40,000 to £46,000 depending on experience
- Hybrid working, 3 days office, 2 remote
- Small team, low bureaucracy, lots of autonomy
- 24 days holiday plus bank holidays
- Holiday exchange scheme
- Healthcare
