Role Purpose

Event Planner – 8 Bishopsgate

• £30,000 per annum
• Amazing multi-outlet retail/restaurant and bar/co-working space
• Monday-Friday
• Ongoing training and development programme

We're looking for an experienced Event Planner to join our team at 8 Bishopsgate.

As an Event Planner you’ll be creating amazing experiences, from corporate receptions and meetings in our many boardrooms to inspiring events at our in-house auditorium, all the way to spectacular parties at the Lookout on level 50.

Whilst you’ll need to be reactive to enquiries and account manage our clients, you’ll need to be proactive in your approach and look for opportunities to develop business and strengthen relationships all round. Your creativity, attention to detail, and organisational skills will be key to your success in this role.

Working closely with our Head of Events, you’ll need to be a proactive self-starter, liaising with the building, logistics and culinary teams.

We’d love it if you had proven experience within the City-corporate B&I sector – perhaps an event coordinator looking for your next step – but not essential. We’re just as open to candidates with M&E experience within hotels or venues. Whatever your background, we have something for everyone and we’d be happy to hear from you.

We look for smart, polished individuals. Serious on the outside, but fun on the inside! All in all a great opportunity to prove yourself with one of the best F&B operators in the business…

What's in it for you?

• Exceptional training, on and off the job.
• Management development programme.
• Regular food and drink tastings.
• Meals on duty.
• Brilliant employee recognition programs, incentives and rewards.
• Cross exposure to the wider business and events in London and beyond.
• Employee Assistance Programme, 24/7
• 40% discount at selected RHC restaurants and bars.
