About the role:
We're looking for a Project Executive who thrives in a fast-paced environment, loves getting stuck into logistics, and has a customer-first mindset.
This is an exciting opportunity to join our Event Operations Team, where you’ll play a key role in planning and executing small to medium scale events and supporting larger, high-impact projects. From initial briefing through to on-site delivery, you’ll help ensure each touchpoint of the attendee journey is smooth, professional, and full of personality!
Key Responsibilities:
- Relationships are everything. Building and maintaining relationships with customers, suppliers and your co-workers is paramount.
- Be the driving force behind the delegate experience – from registration to post-event follow-up – using tools such as Aventri and WordPress.
- Deliver smaller events from start to finish, taking full ownership of project logistics, seamlessly coordinating everything from travel arrangements to venue coordination.
- Supporting larger-scale productions.
- Manage event budgets of up to £50,000 with accuracy and care.
- Collaborate with clients, suppliers, and internal teams to ensure every event is seamless and on brand.
- Maintain clear communication with stakeholders and keep them updated on progress, timelines, and next steps.
- Create and manage detailed project plans and task lists using Asana.
- Support the preparation and distribution of delegate communications, ensuring timely and clear updates.
- Handle multiple projects simultaneously, maintaining control under pressure and adapting quickly when things change.
- Ensure every project reflects our ‘celebrity service’ ethos – where the customer always comes first.

At least 1 year’s experience in an events agency with exposure to UK and international venues.
