Our events, from online roundtables to our Annual Symposium & Awards, are one of the main ways we bring that Community together, raise our profile and grow our membership. We are looking for an Events Coordinator who takes ownership and gets things over the line.

The role

Reporting to the Head of Marketing & Events, you will deliver our full programme of online and

You will be the go-to contact for sponsors, speakers and members, and will work closely with colleagues across the business, including the Marketing Manager, Content Manager, Content & Social Media Coordinator and senior leadership team, to keep every event on track.

• Work with the marketing, content and social media team so every event is promoted, covered and reused across our channels.
• Track budgets, the events inbox, registrations, leads and feedback, and suggest ways to make our events even better.
• Travel regularly to events and meetings, mostly in London.

About you

• Experience in event coordination or delivery, ideally with some exposure to financial services or a membership organisation.
• A strong sense of ownership and initiative: you see things through and don't wait to be asked.
