Events Executive
Telford
Permanent
Monday Friday 37.5 hours a week
Circa £30,000
This is a stand-alone, events-first role with full ownership of a UK-wide events programme. You will plan, deliver, attend, and lead a diverse portfolio of events end-to-end, acting as the single point of accountability for quality, delivery, and outcomes.
The events programme includes large-scale, physical events such as industry competitions and conferences, formal evening events, and a programme of online sessions and partner-led activities. You will manage suppliers, venues, contractors, and budgets, and act as the primary contact for customers, partners, speakers, and internal stakeholders.
This role suits someone who thrives on ownership, structure, and responsibility, is comfortable working independently, and performs confidently under pressure. You will be highly visible at events, leading on-site delivery while also representing the organisation professionally to senior stakeholders and customers.
You will work 37.5 hours per week (between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday) on a flexible basis to suit both you and business needs. Due to the nature of events delivery, travel and additional hours will be required around peak delivery periods.
