About Us
The Flexible Space Association (FlexSA) is the trade association for the flexible workspace industry across the UK. We are a membership organisation, and represent, support and promote the providers of serviced offices, coworking space, workshop units and virtual office services, as well as companies providing goods and services to the workspace operators.
This sector is a growing one, so this is an exciting time to play a part in it.
The Role
The Events Manager will take on responsibility for running a wide range of events. These include two large-scale annual events, alongside smaller in-person and online ones.
With events already planned for the coming months, we are looking for someone with relevant experience and enthusiasm to be able to hit-the-ground-running to deliver these.
We host webinars and use online platforms to support the running of in-person events, so being confident using technology is a must.
The Responsibilities
Working within a small team, the post holder will oversee the running of an annual conference and exhibition in May, and an awards dinner in November. They will also organise smaller events for our members, including tours of workspaces and roundtable meetings in different cities, and build on our Flex Generation initiative for younger people in our sector.
There is a successful programme of webinars to continue to build on, together with online roundtable meetings which bring together our members. Promotion of the events is an important element of the role, so experience of marketing events, particularly online and with social media, would be advantageous.
As a small organisation, there will also be a requirement to pitch-in to help with other areas of work, and cover in the absence of colleagues. This makes for a more varied role, and an opportunity to develop your skills across a variety of activities.
The post calls for a dynamic, proactive and ambitious individual, with good verbal and written communication skills. Computer literacy is essential, alongside good attention to detail.
Working Hours
Standard working hours are Monday to Friday 09:00 to 17:30.
We are open to discussions on working arrangements, but the team presently work 3 days in the office and 2 from home.
Due to the potential for internal reorganisation of responsibilities at the present time, we are open to considering a candidate who wishes to work 4 days a week, on a pro-rata basis.
There will be a need for occasional travel, and to sometimes attend events outside of normal working hours.
Annual Leave
25 days
