About the role and about you

Our client is the independent charity that loves and looks after six of the most wonderful palaces in the world. The palaces are the setting for the stories that shape us all, and they’re bringing them to people in ways that mean more to them. From weddings to corporate parties, and charity galas, they are looking for a dedicated Events Planner to help maximise the commercial potential of HM Tower of London.

This role is about communication as much as organisation. You’ll guide your portfolio of internal and external clients and suppliers through every aspect of the event planning process. Whether you’re focusing on sales, organisational detail, financial documents (or anything in between) your contact will always have accurate information and ultimate confidence in your ability.

You must be a self-starter and a quick learner with the ability to hit the ground running. Possessing the ability to work on your own initiative, you must be flexible and adaptable, with the ability to engage personably with all stake holders. Someone who can work well in a team environment, you’ll also have excellent IT, communication, and interpersonal skills.

You’ll have proven experience of selling a venue and running events on an operational level. In-depth knowledge of the industry is essential and any insight into British history will stand you in good stead. Microsoft and database management skills will be required, and you also realise the importance of good teamwork.

Finally, you must be prepared to work flexible hours including evenings and weekends as and when the events schedule requires it.

Benefits include:

• Hybrid working
• Enhanced holiday entitlement
• Overtime and time off in lieu
• Generous Employers Pension Contributions (up to 11%)
• Annual Pay reviews & Bonuses
• Critical Illness Cover & Life Assurance
• Family friendly policies and benefits
