Are you a calm, organised leader with a background in high-end event management, looking for your next challenge?
We’re recruiting on behalf of a well renowned, global charitable organisation, based in Central London, home to three organisations, for an Events Manager to take ownership of a busy and varied events calendar — from small internal meetings to conferences of up to 300 guests, including VIP and royal visits.
You’ll be the driving force behind the scenes — sourcing the right suppliers and AV, shaping room set-ups, and providing steady, experienced leadership on the day when things need a calm hand. This is a role for someone who thinks like a venue manager: high-end, guest-focused, and quality-driven — without ever equating quality with extravagance.
You’ll lead a team of four — an Events Officer, two Events Assistants and a Fixed-Term Events Assistant — reporting directly to the Head of Finance & Operations.
Please only apply to this role if you possess the required event management experience!
