Job description

Senior Events Officer – The Law Society | Central London | £35,497 | Full-time, 15-month FTC | Hybrid Working

Goodman Masson are delighted to be partnering with The Law Society to recruit a fantastic Senior Events Officer – and if you’re an experienced events professional looking for your next exciting challenge, this could be just the role for you.

This is a brilliant opportunity to join a fast-paced, collaborative events team at the heart of one of the UK’s most respected professional bodies. You’ll lead the delivery of up to four major commercial conferences, plus a mix of thought leadership and member-facing events – all while being part of an organisation with a real purpose.

What’s the role?

You’ll take ownership of end-to-end event logistics, oversee budgets, manage key stakeholders (internal and external), and support the Conference Producer with programme content and speaker liaison. You’ll also get stuck into post-event evaluation and play an important role in mentoring junior colleagues and improving how we do things.

This isn’t just a logistics role – it’s about project ownership, strategic thinking, and delivering events that have real impact.

Essential experience required:

• Have 5+ years’ experience managing high-profile events (in-person, virtual or hybrid)
• Are confident juggling multiple projects at once
• Have solid budget management and financial reporting skills
• Are a natural collaborator who loves working with stakeholders at all levels
• Bring sharp attention to detail and a calm, solutions-focused mindset
• Understand the power of well-branded, well-marketed events
• Are happy mentoring junior colleagues and sharing your knowledge

Why this role?

You’ll be joining a truly values-driven team that delivers 150+ events a year, from CPD conferences and thought leadership events to member engagement activities. Every day brings something different, and the team pride themselves on professionalism, innovation, and making events that matter.

You’ll also enjoy:

• Hybrid working (typically 2 days in the London office)
• Supportive line management and team culture
• Access to great development opportunities and a benefits package
