The role:
This is a really hands-on role, focused on organising, coordinating and delivering a growing programme of events as well as company’s evolving client community experience. Events are both in-person and online, and to prospects as well as existing client as well as some industry-focussed, larger exhibtions. They run breakfast meetings which they’re looking to increase to monthly, from quarterly, which take the form of roundtables or larger face-to-face networking events, and it will be your role to manage venue bookings, suppliers, catering and logistics as well as drafting invitations, writing copy for landing pages and follow-up comms and generally keeping track of the events calendar.
From a community perspective, the company is in the early stages of building an online community and it will be your role to populate this from a content perspective – ‘how-to’ videos, webinars, podcasts etc. as well as organising and coordinating online community events. You’ll be working across a number of departments to ensure all the content is up to date and accurate, and there will be a small element of moderation.
What we’re looking for:
To be considered for this role, you must have some experience of commercial event organisation, both in person and online, as well as having experience of content creation and ideally management of an online community forum. B2b background is required and any experience of working within the financial services industry or tech sectors would be a distinct advantage.
You’ll be an organised, dynamic person who will just get on with things. There will be direction from the Head of Marketing but this is an organisation which encourages innovation and new ideas, so if you’ve got an idea, you’ll never be afraid to share it, and much of the time (within reason!) you’ll be given the opportunity to run with it. You’ll be comfortable with the logistics side of events, liaising with suppliers and stakeholders, but you’ll also have that creative edge to run with ideas for the community. Any experience of event platforms, digital tools or community platforms would also be a plus.
What’s on Offer?
Hybrid working (three days in the office), salary between £30-40,000 depending on experience, plus discretionary bonus, as well as pension, life cover, income protection and private medical to name just some other elements of the remuneration package. The real benefit of this business is the opportunity – they encourage internal promotion wherever possible and they’re keen for this role to grow as much as it can. There’s a relatively flat management structure, and the CEO is always in and amongst the team, and its just a really nice place to be. Flexible working would also be considered.
If this sounds like a role that you could really sink your teeth into, please get in touch.
