Your day-to-day activities will involve working collaboratively with both internal colleagues and external partners to ensure every aspect of each event runs smoothly—from initial planning meetings right through to post-event debriefs. You will be responsible for developing comprehensive project plans that cover everything from budgeting to logistics while always keeping attendee experience at the forefront. By leveraging your strong interpersonal skills and attention to detail, you will help create welcoming environments where everyone feels included. Success in this position comes from your ability to balance multiple priorities with grace, communicate effectively across diverse teams, and adapt quickly when challenges arise—all while upholding the highest standards of professionalism.

* Create engaging event programmes that foster connection among attendees and reflect the organisation’s values of inclusivity and community.
* Manage on-site event operations including set-up, registration, technical requirements, guest services, and troubleshooting any issues as they arise.
* Monitor event performance metrics and gather feedback to inform continuous improvement for future initiatives.
* Ensure compliance with health and safety regulations as well as organisational policies at all times.
* Support marketing efforts by collaborating on promotional materials and social media campaigns related to upcoming events.

Your background should demonstrate not only technical proficiency but also genuine enthusiasm for fostering positive relationships among diverse groups. You will have honed your ability to manage competing priorities calmly under pressure while remaining sensitive to the needs of others. Your approach is rooted in empathy; you understand how important it is for every participant—whether guest or colleague—to feel welcomed and supported. In addition to your hands-on expertise with logistics and planning tools, you possess excellent communication skills that make it easy for others to trust your judgement. Above all else, your commitment to collaboration ensures that everyone involved feels valued throughout the process.

* Excellent organisational skills with proven capability in developing detailed project plans, managing budgets, and coordinating resources efficiently.
* Strong interpersonal abilities that enable you to build positive relationships with colleagues, suppliers, clients, and attendees alike.
* Outstanding communication skills—both written and verbal—that allow you to convey information clearly across various channels.
* A collaborative approach that fosters teamwork while also supporting others’ growth within the group environment.
* Proficiency in using event management software tools as well as standard office applications such as Microsoft Office Suite or Google Workspace.
* A keen eye for detail combined with creative problem-solving skills that help you anticipate needs before they arise.
* Commitment to delivering exceptional customer service at every touchpoint throughout the event lifecycle.
* Flexibility to adapt plans as needed in response to changing circumstances or last-minute requests without losing focus on overall objectives.
