Job description

About the client

We’re recruiting for a growing international investment firm with an exclusive private client base. The firm hosts a busy calendar of client events across Europe, the US and Asia, and it is building a dedicated events and activations function to raise its profile. Every guest experience needs to feel as considered as anything their clients would find at a luxury house.

The role

This is a hands‑on role for an events professional from the luxury world who wants their next step to be broader. You’ll manage events from the first concept to the follow‑up, and help build brand partnerships with like‑minded luxury names.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Planning and delivering intimate client events, including private dinners, lunches, receptions, seminars and the occasional larger showcase.
• Venue sourcing, supplier management, catering, styling, production and on‑site delivery.
• Guest lists, invitations, RSVPs and seating, working closely with the client‑facing teams.
• Curating brand partnerships, co‑hosted evenings, VIP gifting and bespoke merchandise.
• Negotiating with suppliers, managing budgets and tracking spend.
• Working with design, marketing, legal and finance colleagues so every event is on brand and compliant.
• Travelling regularly to deliver events across Europe, the US and Singapore.

About you

• Experience delivering client or VIC events for a luxury brand, auction house, five‑star hotel, private members’ club or private bank.
• Polished, discreet and at ease with high‑net‑worth guests.
• A strong network of venues and suppliers in London and other key cities.
• Organised and calm under pressure, with confident budget and contract management.
• Excellent written communication, from invitations to briefs and follow‑ups.
• Eligible to work in the UK without sponsorship and happy to travel.

No financial services background is needed. Your eye for detail and your hosting instincts matter far more.
