As an event delivery organisation, it’s important that we have regular time together in the office and currently employees come together at least 3 days a week at HQ in Wembley, with the number of days in HQ increasing as the project develops, with a minimum of 3‑4 days needed in 2026‑2027 and full‑time in the year of 2028. Everyone is welcome. We’re hiring for excellence through inclusion. We’re building a skilled, values‑led workforce that reflects the diversity of the UK and Ireland. We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and identities – and we don’t expect everyone to have followed a traditional path to get here. We’re happy to accommodate any requests for reasonable adjustments during the recruitment process. Please email any requests to [e-mail]. All employees will be subject to a DBS check appropriate to the nature of the role and in line with our commitment to providing a safe and inclusive working environment.

• The ability to manage competing priorities and work calmly with sensitive information.
