Location: London, 25 Gresham Street
Hours: Full-time - 35 hours
Working Pattern: Our work style is hybrid, which involves spending at least two days per week, or 40% of your time, in the office. You'll also be required to work outside of standard hours and travel for events as needed.
About This Role: Our Business-to-Business Marketing team is looking for an enthusiastic, energetic and experienced Events Assistant Manager to join the Marketing & Events team. You’ll be joining an established team recognised across the Group for their ability to deliver best in class client experiences, from inception to completion. This can include proprietary conferences, content led client events, sponsorships or participation at key trade conferences.
Event experience is important, but so too is attitude. We value individuals who bring ideas, energy and a 'can do' approach to overcome hurdles and drive projects through to timely completion, with an eye for detail, an innate ability to multi-task and work against tight deadlines in a fast-paced environment. Because events don't always stick to a 9-5, there'll be times you’ll be involved in evening or weekend delivery, which you'd take back in lieu.
About What You'll Be Doing: This is a fast-paced, varied role where you'll have the opportunity to really make an impact. Generally, in this role you'll:
- Manage a range of B2B events, taking full ownership of smaller-scale events while supporting the delivery of larger, more complex events alongside senior team members.
- Build effective relationships with internal and external business partners, clients, suppliers and colleagues.
- Bring a proactive approach to your work, using your initiative and creative thinking to solve problems, overcome challenges and come up with new ideas.
- Work across multiple events and business areas, maintaining quality and attention to detail in a fast-paced, high-performance environment.
- Use your time management and project coordination skills to prioritise competing demands and keep multiple workstreams on track.
- Take ownership of key elements of events, working independently where needed and with direction and guidance from the Events Managers in the team, while collaborating closely with the wider team to deliver successful outcomes.
- Manage event budgets and suppliers, ensuring delivery aligns with agreed costs and expectations.
- Maintain a high level of attention to detail, understanding the importance of delivering polished, professional experiences.
About You: We know that great talent comes from many backgrounds, and that skills can be developed in different ways. As we expect a high volume of applications, please help us understand your experience by clearly highlighting the essential (and desirable) skills below in your CV and cover letter. Where possible, include examples of types of commercial events you've delivered (e.g. type of event, event size, audience, budget etc.).
Essential Skills:
- Experience delivering corporate or commercial events (typically 4+ years), with exposure to events of varying scale. Experience within financial or professional services and/or high-profile events, especially in B2B sectors would be beneficial, but isn't essential.
- Confident communicator, comfortable building relationships both internally and externally. Experience engaging senior partners, including C-suite audiences, would be advantageous.
- Highly organised with strong attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver to tight deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
- Creative, with experience contributing ideas to event design, content or overall guest experience in a commercial or corporate setting.
- A self-starter, with a proactive and solutions-focused approach, and the ability to anticipate challenges and respond quickly to keep delivery on track.
- Strong sense of ownership and accountability, with experience managing deliverables and budgets independently and using your initiative to drive outcomes.
Why Join Us? Our ambition is to be the leading UK business for diversity, equity and inclusion, supporting our customers, colleagues and communities. We're committed to creating an environment where everyone can thrive. We also offer a wide range of benefits, including:
- A generous pension contribution of up to 15%
- Annual performance-related bonus
- Share schemes including free shares
- Flexible benefits to suit your lifestyle
- 28 days' holiday plus
