Job Details

Experienced Commercial Event Operations Manager needed for a high-profile venue with several indoor & outdoor event spaces! Permanent job!

COMPANY
Well known and large-scale heritage venue, performance space and visitor attraction in central London.

ROLE
This Event Operations Manager role (working in the venue hire team of the Commercial Events Department) will see you working with both corporate and private clients on an exciting and very diverse range of events including big awards evenings, concerts, drinks receptions, corporate parties, conferences, large company meetings & AGMs, brand activations, street festivals, music competitions, special events and for filming & photo shoots. The venue complex has several spaces that can accommodate 20-2,000+ and can be hired on an exclusive or individual area/space basis.
In this role you will be responsible for the operational event coordination and implementation of commercial events (for both internal events and private hires) including venue booking and set-up, H&S, room dressing and catering, client liaison and follow-up, to ensure the successful delivery of all events. You will also support on venue promotion and marketing and although there is a separate sales team your role sits within the Commercial Division so you'll all be working towards maximising venue hire revenue and reaching the departmental targets.

YOU
You'll be an outgoing, confident and hugely client facing events professional with circa 2-3 years venue operations experience ideally gained from working for a heritage or unique venue (however candidates with a big multi-space hotel venue background will also be considered providing they have strong event operations knowledge and are currently in a role that involves more than producing a function sheet and then passing this over to on the day Event Ops Manager to deliver).
You'll need to have a good understanding of H&S for events and knowledge of CAD or of other floorplan design software packages would be very useful (but not essential).
You'll also need to have strong commercial awareness and be someone who can engage confidently and diplomatically with potential venue hire clients, external event organisers & promoters, suppliers, contractors and internal colleagues at all levels.

This is a fantastic permanent opportunity for a talented Commercial Event Manager (or Venue Operations Manager / Venue Operations Executive) who has solid event operations skills and a background of working venue side on both indoor & outdoor events.
