The GLA is looking for an exceptional person to join the Facilities Management team to authorise large scale outdoor events, commercial activities, protests and rallies at Trafalgar Square and Parliament Square Garden and meetings, events and conferences within City Hall - the office of the Mayor of London.

This venue hire management & event operations based role will see you working primarily on events & bookings for the internal venue spaces within City Hall although you may also be required to work on events across two iconic outdoor venue spaces as well.

You'll be working alongside other event officers (each have responsibility for their own dedicated portfolio of clients & events) and the role is more "venue/landlord operations based" than it is end-to-end planning & delivering of events and as such it will involve a significant amount of advising clients / prospective event organisers as well as the reviewing of event & venue-hire applications, cross-checking of compliance, H&S, licenses & insurance, crowd control measure & security, overseeing of set-up & build and on-site event delivery as well as post event site inspection and reconciliation.

Events will range from indoor events such as conferences, product launches, meetings, debates & talks, exhibitions and receptions at City Hall to (on occasion) public facing 1-3 day arts and cultural events, photo & film shoots, protests & demonstrations.

This role will suit a Senior Coordinator / Events Officer / Event Producer with a minimum of 3 years' experience working on indoor and outdoor public facing events with strong operations skills and exceptionally good H&S knowledge (an Industry qualification in Health & Safety and Personal License are desirable)
