Responsibilities

  • Manage communications across the full event lifecycle with delegates, speakers and sponsors
  • Coordinate all event logistics, including close liaison with conference venues (costs, setup, catering, Wi-Fi, etc.)
  • Represent the company on-site at events (international travel required)
  • Create, manage and proof event documentation and materials
  • Develop detailed event running orders and schedules
  • Source, negotiate and manage external suppliers (e.g. AV, technology, signage, hostesses)
  • Monitor and manage event budgets
  • Support the delivery of event mobile apps for larger conferences
  • Collaborate with internal campaign/project teams to deliver on event objectives
  • Provide support to the wider team as needed

Requirements

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Strong organisational skills with the ability to prioritise and manage multiple deadlines
  • A proactive, solutions-focused mindset
  • Ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team
  • Comfortable working under pressure with high workloads
  • Strong attention to detail
  • A customer-first mindset, able to engage with stakeholders at all levels of seniority
  • Positive, flexible and enthusiastic approach
  • A genuine passion for event management
  • Degree (or equivalent), ideally in Event Management or a related field
  • Previous experience within event coordination or event management preferred
  • This role requires international travel, including to the USA so you must be eligible to travel
  • You must have the right to work in the UK as we cannot provide sponsorship for this role

Nice to have

  • Experience with event technology/software is advantageous
