Events Executive - 12 month FTC in London

The role involves coordinating various events that bring people together, creating memorable experiences and facilitating new conversations. At Hollis, events range from expert-led breakfast talks and client dinners to major property conferences, networking events, and social activities across the UK and Europe.

As an Events Executive on a 12-month fixed-term contract, you will join a friendly, collaborative team and support events such as Hollis Talks, client receptions, industry conferences including UKREiiF and EXPO REAL, and smaller regional events.

This is a varied, hands-on role where no two weeks will look quite the same. Responsibilities include:

• Coordinating smaller client, networking, and regional office events
• Supporting larger events, conferences, dinners, and corporate hospitality
• Sourcing venues and suppliers and arranging catering, bookings, and event materials
• Managing invitations, attendee lists, registrations, and event communications
• Keeping event information, calendars, contact data, and trackers up to date
• Coordinating diaries, schedules, travel, and accommodation where required
• Booking colleagues onto external industry events and managing any changes
• Supporting invoices, expenses, reporting, and budget tracking
• Responding to queries from colleagues, venues, and suppliers
• Providing on-the-day support and helping events run smoothly

We are looking for someone who may already have some experience in events, marketing, hospitality, or a professional services environment. More importantly, you should enjoy organising, working with people, and taking pride in getting the details right.

You should be:

• Highly organised, with strong attention to detail
• Comfortable managing several tasks and deadlines at once
• Friendly and confident when communicating with colleagues, clients, and suppliers
• Proactive, dependable, and happy to take ownership of your work
• Calm and adaptable when plans or priorities change
• Comfortable using spreadsheets, event systems, or CRM platforms
• Able to work independently while being part of a collaborative team
• Willing to travel and provide on-the-day event support when needed

At Hollis, we create an environment where people can grow into their potential. You’ll be supported to take on new challenges at the right pace, building your confidence, capability, and technical expertise over time. Whether you’re already experienced or still developing, you’ll have the opportunity to learn from some of the best in the industry and gradually take on more responsibility as you grow.

We offer a competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package, including life assurance, private medical insurance, a season ticket loan, a 5% employer pension contribution, 25 days’ annual leave plus your birthday off, and more.

We’re committed to creating a genuinely inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome, supported, and able to succeed. We value different perspectives and experiences, and we work to ensure that our processes, culture, and opportunities are open to all.
