Job Details

Front facing & full event management permanent job working top London venues with well-known business leaders & high-profile ministers!

ROLE

A permanent Event Executive role working in an event team of 7 staff for a high-profile London business organisation and membership body (not a corporate company and not a public sector business either - somewhere firmly in the middle!).

As Event Executive you will be responsible for the end-to-end event management of your own portfolio of high-end networking events (breakfast briefings, networking lunches, evening business receptions for circa 15-150pax) all held at top-class London venues such as Claridge's, The Dorchester, newly opened private dining & Michelin star restaurants, the most talked about exclusive private members clubs & boutique hotels as well as at a host of unique London venues, Livery Halls and at partner organisation's big global corporate HQs in Canary Wharf and the City.

In this role you will be venue finding, event planning and organising all the logistics for your events and you will also be responsible for promoting & marketing each event (writing copy and event info to go on the website and to be pushed out on social media by the Marketing Team).

You'll also be the "host" on-site at all your events so you'll be greeting guests, liaising with high profile speakers (top business execs and government ministers as well as visiting foreign office & trade delegations from overseas), doing the welcome speech and introducing sponsors & key note speakers and ensuring everyone is mingling, networking and enjoying themselves.

You'll definitely need to "command the room" and as well as doing site visits and hosting your events at all these top-class venues you'll also be able to partake in the canapes & drinks as well as enjoying the sumptuous surroundings!

Along with the relative glitz and glam of this very front facing role, you will also need to assist the Senior Event Manager on the office based logistical elements for some of the larger events (including big corporate team building & competitive events such as clay pigeon shooting etc and also the big annual garden party event where all the "great and the good" are in attendance!), provide administrative support as/when needed to the wider events team and you'll be responsible for coordinating and issuing the fortnightly events bulletin that goes out to all members (dotmailer / mailchimp training provided for this aspect of the role).

YOU

You'll be an outgoing and confident B2B events professional (Event Coordinator / Event Executive / Event Officer) with circa 2-3 years' experience in the end-to-end event management of high-profile B2B, business & commercial events.

Key requirements:-
  • Circa 2-3 years of solid B2B events experience
  • MUST have in-depth event management knowledge to be able to come in and hit the ground running
  • In-house corporate, professional body or NFP membership organization background
  • Good event marketing skills (including writing copy for event bulletins and website)
  • Experience of working with sponsors & ensuring sponsorship packages fully delivered
  • Good website management and online services knowledge
  • Confident and outgoing individual with a strong personality
  • Someone who is comfortable hosting an event and can "command the room" when required
  • Good at doing welcome speeches and general networking event hosting
  • An understanding of London and its business community useful but not essential
  • Strong administrative skills and excellent attention to detail


This is a brilliant permanent Events job for an Event Coordinator, Event Executive or Event Officer where you will be part of a busy and award-winning team working for a highly regarded business association on top-class networking events at all the top-class London venues!

If you're looking for an exciting new permanent events role where you'll be organising and promoting your own portfolio of networking & business events and working closely with high-profile sponsors to ensure all their sponsor deliverables are met then sent us your CV and click "Apply" now.
