Most event roles hand you a clipboard and a checklist. This one gives you full control, serious backing, and the budget to build formats that stop people in their tracks. A London-based Founder with a high-performing family office views events as their primary growth engine. They want someone capable of creating live experiences unlike anything else on the market. This is Head of Events, with control, input and autonomy.
What you own:
- Total concept-to-room execution.
- Sourcing extraordinary spaces globally, managing aggressive supplier negotiations, controlling substantial budgets, and protecting a standard where the margin for error is zero.
- Intimate private dinners for 20 discerning guests through to creative productions for 100+.
- You will travel internationally (at times) to run them on the ground.
- When something goes sideways in another time zone at 9pm, you fix it.
- Large-scale trade-based events.
- International gatherings with Press and Marketing involvement.
Who this is for:
- Someone with a battle-tested track record running high-end events under pressure.
- Real ownership, real budgets, real accountability.
- Not internal offsites or "helping" someone else produce a show.
Who this is not for:
- Someone who organises creative-based events - parties, weddings, social gatherings or events without a clear ROI metric.
Location: London, with international travel
Package: £100,000 - £150,000, negotiable for the right operator
