Job description

We are the independent charity that loves and looks after six of the most wonderful palaces in the world. The palaces are the setting for the stories that shape us all, and we’re bringing them to people in ways that mean more to them. From corporate events and charity galas to special celebrations, we need a dedicated Events Manager to lead and manage the Tower of London events team and maximise the commercial potential of this world heritage site.

This role is about communication as much as organisation. You will work to continually enhance and promote the reputation of HRP as a world-class portfolio of event venues by providing event organisers, clients, and guests with faultless support and facilities.

You must be a self-starter and quick learner, with the ability to hit the ground running. Possessing the ability to work on your own initiative, you must be flexible and adaptable, engaging personably with all stake holders, including high-profile individuals. Someone who can work well in a team environment, you’ll also have excellent IT, communication, and interpersonal skills.

You’ll have proven experience of managing an events venue and running events on an operational level. In-depth knowledge of the industry is essential and any knowledge of working within a heritage setting will stand you in good stead.

Finally, you must be prepared to work flexible hours, including some evenings, weekends, and Bank Holidays.
