Events Executive (12 Month Maternity Fixed Term Contract)
Deliver Exceptional Global Events
Are you an experienced Events Executive who thrives on delivering high quality events and engaging a global professional audience?
We are looking for a coordinated, and customer focused Events Executive to join our UK Events Team on a 12-month maternity cover contract, supporting all CIPS Group stakeholders in UK and our global business.
This is a high-impact role where you’ll be leading on the production and delivery of CIPS Global Events portfolio such as conferences, awards, graduations and hybrid/online events.
About us
The Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply (CIPS) is the world’s leading professional body for procurement and supply, with over 70,000 members worldwide.
With a Royal Charter, we’re driven by a clear purpose: to raise standards, build capability, and support ethical, high-performing supply chain professionals globally.
What you’ll be doing
You will play a central role in delivering internal events, regional awards, graduation ceremonies, and lots of online events. You’ll need to take a proactive approach in developing more streamlined ways of working and be innovative in your approach.
Working in collaboration with the Events Manager and wider team, you will help manage and deliver the CIPS Event portfolio globally, ensuring relevance, quality and timelines. You will work with various third parties and regional teams either virtually or in-person using platforms such as Zoom/Zoom Events and Zoho.
Building strong, credible relationships with all stakeholders internally and externally will be essential, enabling you to work collaboratively and problem-solve effectively. Using data and insights from post-event evaluations with attendees, sponsors, and partners, you will determine areas of success and improvements ensuring long-term engagement.
What we’re looking for
You’ll have strong events experience and will be confident leading and delivering executive events.
You pay attention to detail, have strong analytical skills, and use your social media experience to help promote events.
You engage and communicate effectively with stakeholders, fostering strong relationships and allowing you to adjust and adapt when necessary.
Ideally, you’ll have experience supporting and coordinating high profile events and managing outsourced suppliers. However, this isn’t essential – our experienced team will support you in developing these skills.
What you’ll get – an array of benefits, including:
* 25 days holiday + bank holidays
* Private medical insurance (BUPA)
* Life assurance (4x salary)
* On-site restaurant and other great facilities including a gym.
At CIPS, you’ll be part of a globally connected organisation where you can take ownership of meaningful, high-profile events.
You’ll join a supportive, collaborative and values-led Markets team, where your expertise is valued and your development is encouraged.
