Our early talent programs are designed to cultivate the next generation of financial professionals by offering comprehensive training and mentorship opportunities.

Fitch Group is currently seeking a Event Manager (12 Month FTC) based out of our London office.

About the Team:

The Event Manager will be an integral part of the Global Events team in developing high-quality Fitch customer engagement programs that advance the Fitch Group brand through the flawless delivery and execution of events at industry trade shows and conferences as well as Fitch-hosted events in EMEA. We are looking for a seasoned event manager with a proven track record who can quickly take charge of a dynamic portfolio of events to cover a maternity contract.

The role of Event Manager for Fitch Group, reporting into the EMEA Head of Events, is to manage a busy calendar of events both Fitch owned and third-party events, as well as virtual events. Collaborating with internal and external partners, this role works closely with the wider Group Marketing functions to ensure that all our events are well promoted, attended and executed, and that our presence at events is well managed, professional, measured and aligned with business strategy.

How You’ll Make an Impact:

• Plan and execute a diverse range of events, including third-party, hosted conferences, and virtual events. Ensure each event aligns with Fitch Group strategies and incorporates our best practices for optimal outcomes.
• Oversee event logistics by managing registration processes, speaker coordination, and onsite activities, secure venues, catering, audio/visual equipment, and other event essentials
• Manage event budgets, ensuring cost-effectiveness and adherence
• Oversee the global event calendar to prevent scheduling conflicts and ensure alignment and coordination among Fitch Group companies
• Collaborate with the marketing team and business units to align on short- and long-term business objectives, focusing on KPI measurements and overall strategy

You May be a Good Fit if:

• You have at least 5 years of strong, relevant event management experience, including multiple event types
• You have proven verbal and written communication skills
• You are able to work on multiple projects simultaneously
• You possess a team player mindset, adaptable to a fast-paced, changing environment, with the ability to work closely with multiple departments

What Would Make You Stand Out:

• Forward looking, detail oriented, and proactive with proven project management skills
• Willingness to travel up to 25%

Why Choose Fitch:

• Hybrid Work Environment: 3 days a week in office required based on your line of business and location
• A Culture of Learning & Mobility: Dedicated trainings, leadership development and mentorship programs designed to ensure that your time at Fitch will be a continuous learning opportunity
• Investing in Your Future: Retirement planning, financial wellness and tuition reimbursement programs that empower you to achieve your short and long-term goals
• Promoting Health & Wellness: Comprehensive healthcare offerings that prioritize a healthy body & mind
• Supportive Parenting Policies: Family-first policies, including a generous global parental leave plan, designed to help you balance career and family life effectively
