Senior Events Planner – Hampton Court Palace
From weddings to corporate parties and charity galas, we need a Senior Events Planner to support the Events and Operations Manager and the wider Events team, maximizing the commercial potential of Hampton Court Palace.
Applicants should deliver consistent five‑star service, managing and delivering client expectations to ensure flawless coordination and execution of all events. You should be a strong leader who demonstrates a high level of customer service.
Reporting into the HCP Events Manager, this role is about communication as much as organization. You will work to continually enhance and promote the reputation of HRP as a world‑class portfolio of event venues by providing event organisers, clients and guests with faultless support and facilities.
You’ll guide your portfolio of internal and external clients and suppliers through every aspect of the event planning process, including sales, organisational detail, financial documents, and more, always providing accurate information and confidence.
You must be a self‑starter and a quick learner who can hit the ground running, flexible, adaptable, and engaged personably with all stakeholders. Excellent IT, communication, and interpersonal skills are required.
You’ll have proven experience of selling a venue and running events on an operational level. In‑depth knowledge of the industry is essential, and any knowledge of working within a heritage setting will stand you in good stead.
Finally, you must be prepared to work flexible hours including evenings and weekends as and when the events schedule requires it.
