Events Manager - Remote / National Events & Exhibitions, c£42k + Excellent Benefits, Remote / Home-based with UK travel

The British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC) is looking for an experienced Events Manager to lead the planning and operational delivery of its key events across the UK.

BASC's events play an important role in member engagement, public presence, stakeholder relationships, commercial partnerships and the organisation's profile across the shooting and conservation sector.

This is a varied, hands-on role taking events from initial planning through to on-site delivery and post-event review. You'll coordinate internal teams, suppliers, contractors and event organisers, manage budgets and logistics, oversee stand design and build, and ensure events are delivered safely and professionally.

The role

• Lead the planning and operational delivery of key events across the UK.
• Develop project plans, schedules, budgets, resource requirements and risk assessments.
• Coordinate suppliers, contractors, event organisers and internal teams.
• Manage stand build, infrastructure, layouts and on-site execution.
• Oversee event health & safety, operational documentation and incident procedures.
• Lead staff and volunteer briefings during live events.
• Monitor budgets, timelines, risks and delivery against agreed objectives.
• Complete post-event reviews and help develop consistent event processes and standards.

About you

• Proven experience managing public, stakeholder, exhibition or member-facing events across multiple locations, together with experience of budgets, suppliers, contractors and venue teams.
• Strong project management and organisational skills, the ability to manage multiple workstreams and stakeholders, and a calm, hands-on approach in fast-paced event environments.
• Experience of Microsoft Project or similar project-management software would be useful, as would experience of CAD or stand-design software.
• Your background could be in exhibitions, trade shows, public events, outdoor events, membership organisations, agricultural or countryside shows, or another complex multi-site events environment.
• Previous shooting or countryside-sector experience is not essential, although an interest in the sector would be advantageous.
• A full UK driving licence is essential.
• Firearms and shotgun certificates are desirable but not required.

Closing date Sunday 8th of November
