The role requires 5–10 years of events experience, a proven ability to win new business through events, and strong digital tools skills (CRM, platforms, data and AI).

Qualifications

• 5-10 years’ events experience, ideally in a VC, high growth company, consultancy, think tank, political or corporate affairs setting.
• Clear examples of using in-person events creatively to win new business.
• Digitally savvy: CRMs, event platforms, data and AI tools, and always looking for better ways to work.
• Experience working with senior business leaders, politicians and their offices.

• Execute on flagship events, dinners, roundtables and recurring series, for PF Global and client coalitions, around the issues we choose to lead on.
• Leading senior events end to end: concept, programme design, venue, AV, catering, budgets, supplier contracts, run of show and follow-up.
• Setting a clear business development goal for each event, then tracking what comes out of it, from meetings and leads to proposals and revenue.
• Designing invitation strategies that get senior business, political and policy figures in the room, managing guest lists, and briefing and looking after hosts, chairs and speakers.
• Working with consultants, the research, policy, economics, media and digital teams, and trusted freelancers and suppliers to support practice-led events and scale up for larger ones.
• Using digital tools to run events well and leverage them: CRM and invite tracking, registration platforms, AI tools, and LinkedIn and social content to drive business development and commercial objectives.

You’ll work alongside colleagues with diverse skills, gain exposure to senior clients, and have real opportunities to develop your career as part of our ambitious and supportive team.

The Role

We are looking for an experienced Events Manager to run our programme of senior events. These include political dinners, client convenings, regional roundtables and larger conferences.

We want someone who designs every event around who needs to be in the room and what should happen next. You should be able to show us examples where an in-person event led directly to new clients, members or revenue.

• An interest in the wider political and business agenda and the judgement to shape events around a clear political narrative and business-development purpose

• Flexibility to travel and run events off-site, across the UK and occasionally in our global different markets

About you

• Excellent interpersonal skills and ability to work well in a team

• Can confidently advise and challenge senior colleagues

• Highly organised and calm under pressure

• Commercially minded, with a sense of how an event turns into a relationship and then a piece of work

• Respectful and works with integrity

• Intellectually curious about politics, business and current affairs
  

Location and Salary

We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion, and particularly encourage applications from candidates with disabilities and candidates from ethnic minority backgrounds.

We operate a hybrid working model, with a mix of home and office working. Our main office is based in Embankment. Many of us, including the founders, have young children and we work hard to be genuinely family-friendly.
