• Help sponsors refine and prioritise target-audience wish-lists and define meaningful meeting or session objectives.

• Act as a trusted point of contact for sponsors throughout the delivery cycle, providing guidance and resolving issues.

• Manage escalations relating to targeting, scheduling, approvals, attendance, or other programme requirements.

• Coordinate closely with Sales, Events, Marketing, Insights, and other internal teams to maintain aligned delivery.

• Support workload prioritisation, task clarity, and effective communication during critical event delivery periods.

• Contribute to event retrospectives by analysing data and identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and programme quality.

• Recommend improvements to workflows, SOPs, templates, timelines, communication processes, and attendee engagement strategies.

• Anticipate delivery risks and implement preventative measures ahead of important milestones.

• Track acquisition progress, confirmations, scheduling, approvals, attendance, and delivery risks through structured reporting.

• Produce post-event insights and recommendations to strengthen future programmes and contribute to broader organisational learning.

• Exceptional attention to detail and a consistent focus on accuracy and quality.

• Comfortable working in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments where priorities can change quickly.
