Who We Are
FinEvents is a specialist events agency for the private equity world. We create high‑impact, high‑standard events across London, Paris, New York, and Toronto combining global reach with a boutique mindset. What sets us apart isn’t just our client list, it’s our team. We’re precise because we care. We hold ourselves to high standards; not for show, but because we understand the impact of what we deliver. We’re ambitious, grounded, and fully aware that we’re still learning and that’s exactly the point. We’re looking for an Event Manager who shares that mindset: curious, detail‑driven, tech‑aware and deeply committed to doing meaningful work with people who care just as much as you do.
Why Join Us
You’ll be part of a company that’s growing fast but organically and with intention. We aim high but don’t glorify stress. We believe in meaningful ambition. You’ll have autonomy, trust and room to learn with ownership of your work. You’ll collaborate across cities and cultures, helping shape what FinEvents becomes next. Most importantly, you’ll join a team that knows even “flawless” events are built by real people; imperfect, human, and doing their best together.
Your Contributions
* End‑to‑end planning and delivery of conferences and events (in‑person, virtual, and hybrid), from inception through to post‑event wrap‑up
* Event budgets: creation, approvals, cost tracking, contract negotiation, invoice processing, reconciliation, and reporting
* Timeline creation and milestone tracking; status updates to internal stakeholders and clients
* Coordination with Event Tech team to ensure seamless registration, website updates, attendee reporting, and client communications
* Vendor and supplier management (venue, catering, A/V, production, staging, speakers, accommodations, gifting, etc.)
* On‑site: preparation of detailed run‑of‑show, briefing of staff/suppliers, and live event execution (domestic and international)
* Strong collaboration with internal teams: marketing, design, tech, legal, and data to ensure smooth delivery
* Contribution to internal knowledge base of venues, cities, and partners; continuously recommend improvements and innovations
* Support onboarding and mentoring of new team members when needed
* Ensure compliance with client standards and risk processes
What We’re Looking For
* Solid experience in full‑cycle event and project management, including pitching and budget and supplier ownership
* Strong working knowledge of international destinations (London, Paris, New York, Toronto) and venue/supplier networks
* Proven ability to manage senior‑level clients and internal stakeholders with confidence
* Hands‑on experience with virtual and hybrid events and related platforms (Cvent, Appcraft, SpotMe a plus)
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills
* Highly organized, proactive, and calm under pressure; can manage multiple complex projects simultaneously
* Technically confident: good command of Microsoft Office Suite, especially Excel and PowerPoint
* Strong negotiation and vendor management skills
* A team player with a client‑focused mindset, emotional intelligence, and adaptability across work styles
* Willingness to travel for site inspections and on‑site delivery when required
* A genuine passion for events, curiosity about new tools, and a mindset for continuous improvement
* This is a remote position; however, you are expected to reside in and remain within the London area to support our events.
