Overview
We’re hiring an Events Coordinator to join a top-tier football club delivering a wide range of high-energy, live events at one of the UK’s most iconic venues.
This is a hands‑on, on‑the‑day delivery role—perfect for someone who thrives in fast‑paced environments and wants to be at the heart of live events. You’ll support the execution of everything from pitch‑side experiences and brand activations to corporate conferences and private events.
Expect variety, big personalities, and a brilliant atmosphere—no two days will look the same.
The Role
* Support the delivery of 3+ live events per day, often back‑to‑back
* Assist with pitch events (e.g. tournaments, brand activations with major sponsors, influencer sessions, filming)
* Provide on‑the‑day coordination support—this is not a planning role, but execution‑focused
* Manage event check‑ins, delegate lists, and Excel tracking
* Print and prepare event materials (badges, signage, documentation)
* Act as an extra pair of hands across all live events
* Liaise with guests including corporate clients, influencers, talent, and partners
* Work closely with a team of 4 coordinators to ensure smooth delivery
* Support transition into conference and corporate events (June onwards: dinners, work events, etc.)
What You’ll Be Working On
* Pitch Events: Guests playing on the pitch (brands like Nike, Cadbury, etc.)
* Corporate Conferences & Dinners
* Private & Experiential Events
Every event is different—this is a highly varied, people‑focused role in a fun, energetic environment.
What We’re Looking For
Experience
* 1–2+ years’ experience in events, ideally supporting live/on‑the‑day delivery
* Background in events coordination (not sales or purely planning‑focused roles)
* Experience in sporting, corporate, experiential, or conference events
Skills & Behaviours
* Highly organised with strong attention to detail
* Able to stay calm under pressure in a fast‑paced, live environment
* Personable and confident, comfortable working with a wide range of people (including influencers, athletes, and corporate clients)
* Proactive with a strong can‑do attitude
* Good critical thinking and problem‑solving skills
* Comfortable with basic admin tools (Excel, CRM systems, check‑ins)
Additional Requirements
* Must be available immediately (ASAP start)
* Flexible to work shift patterns between 8am–10pm
* Willing to work some weekends (included within 35‑hour week)
* Based onsite at Stamford Bridge
Why This Role?
* Work at a prestigious, top‑tier football club
* Be part of a close‑knit, high‑performing events team
* Gain exposure to high‑profile brands, talent, and large‑scale events
* A genuinely fun, energetic environment where people are there to enjoy themselves
* Strong opportunity to convert into a permanent role
