Job description

Event Manager – £30,000–£40,000

Event Manager | £30,000–£40,000 | UK & European Events | Varied Role | Full-Time

If you’re an Event Manager who enjoys being involved from the first client conversation through to the final breakdown, this is a role where no two weeks will look the same. You’ll join a growing events business, managing a variety of exciting events across the UK and Europe while working closely with clients, suppliers and venues to make each one a success.

As Event Manager, you’ll take ownership of events from initial planning through to on-site delivery. You’ll coordinate suppliers and event teams, manage schedules and logistics, deal directly with clients and solve problems as they arise. Between events, you’ll spend around 2–3 days a week supporting the office with administration, event preparation and wider business activities. This makes the role particularly suited to an organised, hands-on Event Manager who enjoys variety and is happy moving between planning, office work and live events.

Travel & working onsite on events is part of the role, so you must be happy to stay away from home as needed

What’s on offer

• £30,000–£40,000 salary, depending on experience
• Opportunity to work on events across the UK and Europe
• A varied role combining event management, planning and office responsibilities
• Career development within a growing events business

You’ll be joining a hands‑on team where everyone plays their part in delivering successful events. You’ll have the opportunity to build strong relationships with clients and suppliers, take ownership of your events and develop your experience across different types of event delivery. The role offers plenty of variety, responsibility and the chance to see your planning come together on the day.

If you’re an experienced Event Manager who is organised, practical and confident dealing with clients, suppliers and event teams, this could be a great opportunity. You’ll need to be comfortable with regular UK and European travel, overnight stays and occasional weekends, as well as working from the office between events.
