Job Details
We are one of the UK's leading speaker bureaux, supplying people to deliver speeches, chair conferences and host events such as awards ceremonies. The business is roughly split 50:50 between serious events such as motivational speakers giving a keynote address or a news journalist chairing a conference, and the lighter ones, such as a sports personality giving an after dinner speech or comedian hosting an awards ceremony.
We are looking to expand our team with the addition of a resourceful and ambitious Speaker Coordinator who will work alongside the existing team to help grow the business and develop their own client portfolio. The role will be based in our West End offices in Central London, primarily during office hours, while occasionally attending evening events.
In addition to your salary, we have a generous commission structure in place and offer an excellent holiday allowance of 25 days per year, plus bank holidays and the office is closed throughout the Christmas period.
While an experience in the event industry is preferable, ultimately we will consider the strongest transferable skills and demonstrable experience. A good general knowledge of current affairs, entertainment, politics, sport and business is required, along with a desire to consistently deliver impeccable client satisfaction.
Company
We supply speakers, hosts and celebrities for corporate events such as conferences and awards ceremonies. This might include supplying well known journalists to chair conferences, TV personalities to host awards ceremonies and successful athletes or business people to give motivational speeches.
Our clients include FTSE 100 companies, trade associations and all of the leading event management companies. We are well established and respected in the industry, having been in business for 19 years.
