Job description

LG16055

Your chance to join a fantastic corporate business and work on some high profile events.

THE CLIENT

Our client is an established not for profit membership organisation who are industry experts in their field. Whilst classed as a research organisation and charity, the business is run very much as a corporate entity and has over 1,000 corporate members across 40 countries. Priding themselves on offering informative and market leading events they have a broad events programme including trade briefings, training events, networking events and conferences for up to 2,000pax.

With a solid reputation for delivering high quality events this is your opportunity to join an established and forward thinking company. With amazing offices and a supportive team environment this is an opportunity not to be missed!

THE ROLE

Due to their on-going success and growing events programme there is now an exciting opportunity for an experienced Senior Project Manager to come on board and take ownership of a new high profile event.

Responsibilities include:

  • End to end event management including full logistics

  • Venue management and liaison

  • Working closely with internal teams on areas including delegate registration

  • Working closely with the marketing department, research and PR

  • Managing all speakers and their requirements for the event (both pre-event and onsite)

  • Manage all technical support and sponsor requirements pre-event and on site

  • Stakeholder management

  • Supplier management, liaison and negotiation

  • Budget management and reconciliation

  • Onsite management

  • Post event reporting

THE CANDIDATE

Candidates must have a proven background in delivering large scale events from end to end including full logistics and budget management. Exposure to delivering complex conferences for numbers excess of 500pax is preferred and any exposure to working on events within the retail or FMCG sectors would be an added benefit but is not essential for the role. Candidates should ideally have had exposure to working for a corporate organisation and candidates must have a proven background in stakeholder management. More importantly though is a proven background in delivering large scale, complex events!

In exchange for your commitment this organisation offers a diverse and challenging role in a unique and supportive environment.
