Building Tomorrow. Together.

Are you an organisational powerhouse with a flair for creating unforgettable experiences Do you want to work for a company that has thrown out the stiff corporate playbook

We are looking for a dynamic Events Executive to help us bring the Accu brand to life - whether thats on the trade show floor at our home ground (the newly named Accu Stadium) or through internal events that celebrate our incredible team.

The Role

As our Events Executive you wont just be booking venues; you will be the architect of our physical brand presence. You will play a pivotal role in how customers partners and employees experience Accu.

This is a diverse role where no two days are the same. One week you might be coordinating a high-tech exhibition stand for a major engineering expo; the next you could be managing hospitality at a Huddersfield Town match or organising a level-up social for our team.

What Youll Be Doing

• Trade Show Management: Lead the planning and execution of our presence at key engineering and manufacturing trade shows (e.g. Smart Manufacturing Week, SMRRF and Made in Yorkshire Expo). You will handle everything from stand design and logistics to on-site management and lead capture strategy.
• Activate the Accu Stadium: Act as the key liaison for our stadium partnership. You will organise client hospitality days, networking events and community initiatives at the Accu Stadium to maximise our sponsorship value.
• Brand Guardianship: Ensure every event - big or small - visually and tonally represents the Accu brand.
• Logistics & Budgeting: Manage event budgets, negotiate with suppliers and handle the nitty-gritty logistics (i.e. travel, accommodation, shipping) to ensure everything runs like clockwork.
• ROI Analysis: Track the success of our events. We love data; youll report on leads generated, attendee engagement and follow-up campaigns to help us improve every event we do.
• Internal Culture Events: Support our People Team to organise legendary social events, team‑building days and Accu Academy workshops that reinforce our culture of fun and innovation.

About You

You are detailed-obsessed but people-focused. You thrive in a fast-paced environment and dont panic when plans change (because in events they always do).

• Experience: 2 years of experience in event planning, field marketing or a similar coordination role.
• Organisational Skills: You are a natural planner who can spin multiple plates without dropping any. Spreadsheets and timelines are your best friends.
• Communication: You have excellent interpersonal skills and can build relationships with everyone from stadium managers to engineering directors.
• Creativity: You have an eye for design and detail - you know what makes a trade stand look world-class versus average.
• Driver: A full UK driving license is required for travel to events and exhibitions.
• The Accu Fit: You are ambitious, positive and ready to get stuck in. We value people who are not afraid to fail fast and learn faster.

The Team and What We Offer

Weve created a self-directing workplace that cultivates a culture of inclusion and belonging whilst allowing everyone to grow. We have built a close-knit team with an extremely low employee turnover rate. Heres a few things you can look forward to:

• 4-day work week (34 hours per week).
• Competitive salary (£24,080 - £26,488 depending on experience) with a transparent pay structure.
• Opportunity for progression at a high-growth company.
• Remote and flexible working (75% office-based during probationary period).
• 6 weeks paid annual leave. Earn up to 7 weeks through our length-of-service bonus.
