Job description

Liverpool City Region £36,000 35 hours per week | Flexibility required for evenings, weekends and major events

Do you thrive on delivering exceptional events that people remember for years to come?

I'm working on behalf of a truly unique venue in the Liverpool City Region to recruit an Events Manager who can take ownership of a diverse portfolio of large-scale corporate, commercial and cultural events.

This isn't your typical venue role.

One day you could be delivering a high-profile corporate gala, the next overseeing a major concert, civic event, exhibition or large-scale public attraction. With thousands of visitors passing through each year and an events programme that continues to grow, this is an opportunity to play a key role in one of the region's most iconic destinations.

The Opportunity

You'll lead events from initial enquiry through to post-event evaluation, taking responsibility for planning, logistics, client management and on-the-day delivery. Working with a wide range of stakeholders, contractors and suppliers, you'll ensure every event is delivered safely, professionally and to an exceptional standard while creating memorable experiences for clients and audiences alike. This role would suit someone who enjoys variety, thrives under pressure and wants to be part of a venue that regularly hosts events that attract attention across the region and beyond.

• Managing events from concept through to completion
• Acting as the operational lead for a varied programme of corporate, commercial and cultural events
• Producing event documentation including event plans, risk assessments and operational schedules
• Leading on-site event delivery and troubleshooting challenges in real time
• Building strong relationships with clients and stakeholders
• Supporting business growth through excellent customer service and commercial awareness
• Managing contractors, suppliers and temporary event staff
• Ensuring all events are delivered in line with health & safety, safeguarding and compliance requirements
• Contributing to the ongoing development of systems, processes and best practice

What I'm Looking For

• Significant experience managing complex events within a venue, agency or live events environment
• Strong operational planning skills and exceptional attention to detail
• Experience managing multiple stakeholders and suppliers simultaneously
• Outstanding client relationship and customer service skills
• Excellent organisational and project management abilities
• Commercial awareness with experience driving revenue and maximising opportunities
• Confidence making decisions in fast-paced live-event environments
• Knowledge of event health & safety and risk management
