The Role: Events Executive

You will be tasked with delivering client services, administrative tasks and operations logistics for a packed-out schedule of events.

You will need to be involved in every step of event delivery such as planning, operations and stakeholder management.

Key Responsibilities

Event administration

• You will maintain and regularly update the event summary report and support the Events and Marketing Manager in more detailed reporting and evaluation to evolve the event programme strategy.

Event delivery

• You will coordinate events proposals as they come in both from volunteers and from your colleagues, making sure that relevant checks and approvals take place before events are scheduled.
• You will manage the events calendar so that events do not clash with each other or other key activities. You will work with volunteers and staff to temporarily hold dates as appropriate and confirm clearly when the deadline for holding a date has passed.
• You will manage the programme of webinars, ensuring that registration data is loaded to the webinar system and helping to resolve any issues customers face in accessing webinars.
• You will take the lead on delivering several in-person events throughout the year by coordinating volunteers, speakers and stakeholders to produce high quality events.
• You will identify, evaluate and book venues including negotiating venue contracts and costs.
• You will manage event speakers to ensure they are well prepared and meet deadlines for submissions.
• You will provide a high standard of onsite management at events, making sure things run smoothly and that attendees have a positive experience.

• You have experience in addressing customers queries by phone and email.
• You have experience in using MS Office and are competent with MS Outlook, MS Word and MS Excel.
