Events Executive in Royal Tunbridge Wells

We have an exciting new role. We're looking for an organised and enthusiastic Events Executive to join our Business Development and Marketing team. Events play an important role in how we build relationships, share expertise and strengthen our brand. From networking events and roundtables to conferences, webinars and tradeshows, you'll help bring our events programme to life and ensure every event delivers a positive experience for attendees and stakeholders alike.

This is a varied, hands‐on role that will see you involved in every stage of the event lifecycle – from planning and logistics through to delivery and post‐event evaluation. You'll work closely with colleagues across the firm, supporting both larger strategic events and providing guidance to teams running smaller‐scale activities. If you're highly organised, thrive on managing multiple projects and enjoy creating memorable experiences, we'd love to hear from you.

The role will involve travel to event locations across London, Kent and Sussex. A full UK driving licence, or the ability to travel to remote locations, is essential.

• Event planning and delivery
  • Support the planning and delivery of a diverse programme of virtual and in‐person events
  • Coordinate all event logistics, including venue sourcing, catering, AV requirements, materials and supplier management
  • Develop and manage event timelines, ensuring key milestones and deadlines are achieved
  • Liaise with speakers, venues and external suppliers, ensuring all parties are fully briefed and prepared
  • Manage event registrations and attendee communications, including invitations, confirmations and joining instructions
  • Provide on‐the‐day support to ensure events run smoothly and professionally
  • Keep stakeholders informed of progress and proactively identify and resolve any issues
• Marketing and promotion
  • Work with business development and legal teams to build targeted invitation lists
  • Support the creation of event‐related marketing materials, including invitations, email campaigns and website content
  • Collaborate with the wider marketing team to promote events across digital channels
  • Manage RSVPs and attendee enquiries, delivering an excellent experience throughout the event journey
  • Coordinate post‐event communications, including follow‐up activity and feedback requests
• Technology and virtual events
  • Set up and support virtual events using platforms such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams
  • Coordinate rehearsals and provide technical support to speakers and presenters
  • Manage behind‐the‐scenes event delivery, including presentations, polls and Q&A sessions
  • Support the editing, storage and sharing of event recordings and related content
• Post‐event reporting and continuous improvement
  • Gather feedback from attendees and internal stakeholders
  • Produce post‐event reports, analysing attendance, engagement and key performance metrics
  • Maintain accurate event records and CRM data
  • Identify opportunities to enhance future events and improve attendee experience

We're looking for someone who brings:

• At least two years' experience in an events, marketing or business development role, ideally within a professional services environment
• Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Experience supporting virtual and hybrid events using platforms such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams
• Familiarity with CRM systems and email marketing platforms (desirable)
• A proactive, solutions‐focused approach and the ability to adapt to changing priorities

You'll be someone who:

• Is highly organised with exceptional attention to detail
• Takes ownership and follows through on commitments
• Enjoys working collaboratively and building strong relationships
• Remains calm and professional when working to deadlines
• Is client‐focused and committed to delivering a high‐quality experience
• Shares our values and contributes positively to our culture
• Brings energy, enthusiasm and a willingness to learn and develop

At Cripps, you'll be part of a collaborative and supportive team where your ideas and contribution will be valued. This is an opportunity to build your events career within a forward‐thinking professional services firm, helping to deliver engaging experiences that strengthen relationships and showcase the expertise of our people.

You'll spend at least 60% of your working week in the office, though we know there is no one‐size‐fits‐all and arrangements may vary from role to role. Our strong culture is founded on working together in the office, which we aim to maintain through our people being regularly co‐located, working cohesively and in collaboration with one another.
