Company

Outsourced Events is a multi‑award‑winning event and marketing agency, delivering bespoke, end‑to‑end solutions for global clients across the technology and professional services sectors. Based in London and working internationally, we specialise in planning and executing outstanding events, tradeshows and exhibitions that combine creativity, precision and seamless delivery.

Opportunity

We are seeking a proactive, detail‑orientated Senior Event Executive to join our growing team. Supporting one of our experienced Event Managers, you will play a key role across a diverse programme of global events, with plenty of opportunities for on‑site delivery and international travel.

Outsourced Events is a fast‑paced, vibrant and supportive environment where you’ll have autonomy, variety and the chance to make a meaningful impact on the success of our clients’ events. You will support the Event Manager in the smooth and efficient delivery of our portfolio of events, taking ownership of operational elements and ensuring exceptional service throughout.

Responsibilities

• Leading the full operational delivery of tradeshows and dinners, and contributing to conferences and exhibitions from concept through to on‑site execution.
• Managing all operational event elements, including venue research and liaison, AV coordination, branding implementation, F&B planning, ambassador scheduling, registration and post‑event reporting.

We are looking for a confident, organised and enthusiastic event professional who thrives in a fast‑paced environment and takes pride in delivering exceptional results. This role is ideal for an existing Senior Event Executive, or an Event Executive / Account Executive / Event Assistant ready to take the next step. We also welcome applications from venue or hospitality professionals seeking to transition into agency‑side event delivery.

• Exceptional attention to detail and a structured, project‑orientated approach.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously.
• Comfortable working under pressure and taking responsibility for deliverables.
• Highly organised with strong time‑management skills.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly PowerPoint.

• A dedicated team player with a strong work ethic and desire to learn.
• Excellent command of written and spoken English.
• Willingness to travel overseas for site visits and event delivery.
• Flexibility to work outside standard business hours when required.
