- This role will involve occasional UK and international travel to support events and exhibitions.

You build relationships easily, stay calm under pressure and aren't afraid to roll your sleeves up when needed.
You'll enjoy being part of a collaborative team and representing a company where people, relationships and quality genuinely matter.
You’ll ideally have
- An Event Management qualification (e. g. Level 3–5 Diploma or Degree in Event Management).
- Proven experience in event management, trade shows, or a related coordination-focused role, with hands-on involvement in live event delivery.
- Strong organisation and communication skills.
- Confidence dealing with suppliers and internal stakeholders.
- The ability to stay calm, flexible, and solutions focused in a fast paced environment.
- Good working knowledge of MS Office, Teams, and CRM systems (Salesforce desirable).
Why Join Prima?

- Get involved in UK and global events.
- Work closely with colleagues across Marketing, Sales, Operations and People & Culture.
- Have the freedom to bring ideas to the table and make them happen.
