Wonderful perm role heading up the events division of a leading London trade association for a senior events professional!
COMPANY
High profile trade association for the financial services sector based in the heart of central London who host a range of free and pay-to-attend UK only business events, seminars, industry insight & training days for their members as well as 2-3 day flagship conferences (multi-stream full programme conferences (600-800attending) with welcome reception, exhibition area, sponsored receptions & evening gala dinner for circa 400pax).
ROLE
As the current post holder is stepping down (after a long and successful tenure leading the events division) there is now a fantastic opening at this association for a new senior level events professional to come in and take over the reins.
Reporting directly to the CEO and managing a small events team you'll be tasked with enhancing and refreshing the existing tried & tested and very successful programme of both free and income generating events as well as adding new elements and creating new events to reinvigorate and expand the overall events offering. The events division is a commercial entity and provides a valuable revenue stream for the association (events are a mix of free (included in subscription) and pay to attend) so delegate fees, exhibitor packages & event sponsorship along with the maximisation of the association's in-house meeting spaces venue hire occupancy (and the revenue this generates) are all vital in keeping the income generated on track and on target. As well as the event portfolio revenue there is also an opportunity to look at costs and expenditure and review and renegotiate suppliers & venue hire contracts and where appropriate perhaps go out to tender for new suppliers to ensure the organisation is getting the best value for money at the best competitive market rates.
So in summary ..... this is a mixed role of event strategy & departmental accountability, end-to-end event management, staff & team management, event marketing & advertising, sponsor deliverables, financial & commercial management, event website and registration system developing and updating, VIP speaker/C-Suite stakeholder engagement & liaison and hands-on event delivery ….. plus the oversight and management of sponsorship & exhibition stand sales and a small amount of venue hire sales / meeting room occupancy maximisation. NB currently the sales for conference exhibition stands are outsourced so it’s more a case of keeping tabs on this and ensuring past sponsors/exhibitors are locked in again for next year and that the opportunity to hire the inhouse meeting rooms is well publicised and encouraged.
Overall this is an amazing opportunity for both the new post-holder and the association as a whole, to review and revamp (sensitively & diplomatically) the commercial events offering and a wonderful opportunity for the new post-holder to work closely with C-suite and very influential stakeholders, policy makers, government and leading public figures in the financial services sector.
YOU
You’ll be a “hands-on & sleeves rolled up” as well as “strategic & vastly experienced” senior events professional with a proven background in commercial B2B events working for a trade association, membership organisation or regulatory body.
You’ll be comfortable leading / heading up an events division and must be a strong all-rounder with experience of staff management and allocation of workload & resourcing, working with a range of internal & external stakeholders, financial management & income generation and event sponsorship along with good knowledge of event marketing, design & production of event collateral, event website management, delegate registration, event logistics & operations, on-site event management and post event analysis.
You’ll be confident and tenacious but also be someone who can tread sensitively, diplomatically and patiently when going into a new organisation with a view to implementing changes to existing systems, processes and event formats. And you’ll also need to be a good negotiator (adept at getting best value for money) with strong commercial acumen who has up-to-date event industry knowledge of current suppliers & venue hire costs, new event technology and innovative new event concepts & formats.
From a personality point of view you’ll need to be practical & resourceful, calm & diplomatic but also highly motivated and focused with a positive and “can-do” attitude and be someone who is comfortable (and enjoys!) liaising with high profile and influential stakeholders, policy makers and government figures.
If you have a proven track record as a Senior Events professional and are looking for a new and challenging permanent role with a highly regarded organisation then what better way to start 2019 than securing this fantastic “next stage in your career” opportunity!

Whether you’ve been thinking of a job move for a while but just not got your act together, or you’ve suddenly found yourself out of a job and needing to get sorted fast… here are our top tips to get you on track when starting out on that all-important job search.
1. CV CV CVFirst and foremost, get your CV together. This can seem daunting – particularly if you have not done one for a while or have a long career history … it’s amazing how difficult it can be to remember all that you’ve done! The trick is to not worry too much initially about getting it too ‘perfect’ - a straight forward, clear, chronological run down of your work history is great! Many people refine their CV as they go along or have different versions. The important thing now is to get down on paper what is factually correct – so make sure you’ve got the basics in there … companies, dates, roles, key responsibilities. Add in your contact details and education – and done! You’re ready to go!
As well as being your essential ‘calling card’, getting your work history down on paper can be a brilliant motivational exercise too ... it’s easy to forget just how much you’ve achieved – so it’s a great opportunity to take a step back and take stock of how much experience you’ve got under your belt to offer a new employer.
You can refine your CV over time, so don’t let “I’ll wait ‘til I get my CV done” be the excuse that’s holding you back from getting your job search well and truly under way. Keep it simple, and get it done.
For more in-depth guidance on writing your CV see our blog - 'Writing your CV'.
2. BRAINSTORM YOUR GOALSHave a ‘brainstorm session’ to clarify what it is you are looking for. If you’re not on a standard career path – and let’s face it in events is there such a thing? - then it can sometimes be tricky to know exactly what you are looking for. Best thing here is to do a bit of a brain dump – big piece of paper, loads of thoughts.
You may have a really clear idea of the sort of role you want, or you may be open to a number of different paths.
Don’t let it hold you back if you are not sure – you can follow up on a number of channels within your job search. Just get your thoughts down on paper, and then in order.
If you have a clear idea – great – but if you are not sure, just work out what the main ideas are so you can easily and clearly articulate these to others if you are asked … ‘what sort of role are you looking for?’, or ‘do you have a clear idea of what you’re looking for’.
A good ‘make it happen trick’ is to simply write down a whole lot of information about what you are best at – you may not know the title of the role you’re after or which organisation it is with, but at least you know you are looking for a role that features a lot of ‘what I’m best at’!
You should also give thought to what salary you are looking for. We’d recommend having a salary range in mind, rather than a figure. This allows you to respond flexibly and openly to opportunities, and not restrict yourself too much.
3. RESEARCH & SIGN UPResearch relevant job sites and recruitment consultancies – you’ll normally find there are some specialist websites and job boards which are focussed on your sector or specialism – these are often linked to the main publications within your sector, but also check out industry associations for where relevant roles are likely to be advertised.
Get to know who the main recruiters are in your sector. The ‘smart’ trick here, to save on scrolling through endless web pages of irrelevant roles, is to sign up for job alerts so you’re getting relevant jobs sent to you as soon as they come up.
Most publications, recruitment agencies and job boards do a daily or weekly update – so make sure the jobs come to you hot off the press.
4. BE READY TO ACT…If you get a positive response to a job application that you’ve submitted, make sure you are in the right mind set to get on with things. It’s not uncommon for us to receive CVs in response to our adverts but be met with an eerie silence when we try and contact that candidate to find out more!
Opportunities can move fast – everyone’s busy out there, they’re not going to wait around for you … so, if you’re taking the time to apply for roles, make sure you’re ready to respond if you’re contacted!
If you are looking for a job, people will want to talk to you on the phone or face to face, so get into the mindset of being flexible. Perhaps make sure you have a time set aside morning, lunchtime and evening, just to check up on any job responses or are available for calls. Have an ‘interview outfit’ ready to go… swot up now on a few interview tips by reading our article - 'What Should I Wear to My Job Interview?'. In recruitment it is often the early bird that catches the worm – if you’re indulging in a bit of navel gazing or waiting for your interview suit to come back from the dry cleaners, someone else has got on with it, gone in and possibly got the job.
Another quick pointer on this - closing dates on advertising boards are when the role ends its advertising slot, so don’t confuse those with a stated ‘closing date’ for applications that would be in the advert copy. If you see something you are interested in, apply as soon as possible ... you may well miss the boat if you don’t.
5. UPDATE YOUR SOCIAL MEDIAIf you are able to promote the fact that you are looking – do it! “Event Manager – Currently looking for new opportunities” will invite recruiters to get in touch with you – so update your LinkedIn profile if you can.
Obviously if you don’t want your current employer to be aware of your search, you won’t be able to do this! But what you can do is update your profile, so that recruiters who are doing internet searches will find you and see your specific experience easily – make sure all your role titles and companies are on there. Recruiters spend a lot of time searching for talent for great roles… make sure you come up on those searches!
Oh… and be prepared with a bit of script for those awkward moments if a recruiter calls you and your boss is standing next to you. Be prepared, and have a confident reply already in mind – “Sorry, can’t talk now, I’m busy, but can you email me, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.” … “ PPI Companies! They just won’t leave me alone!”
6. LET PEOPLE KNOWA lot of roles come about by word of mouth --- often not a direct contact, but someone you know happens to be chatting to someone, who will mention a role, and that person will think of you! But only if they know what you’re capable of, what you’re interested in, and that you’re up for change.
To manage things politically you don’t have to let people know if you are miserable at work, you just need to let them know you’re ready for new challenges!
7. SET A SCHEDULESet an action plan and schedule. A job search can feel soul destroying …. it can take a while, it can have a few disappointments, and you can sometimes feel that nothing is happening despite all your efforts and applications. Be prepared for that, build it in to your plan, know that it can take a while. Keeping the momentum going and your motivation up is key – and essential to that is having a plan in place. Keep a log of what you’ve done … put some goals in there and build in milestones to either pat yourself on the back in terms of the effort you’ve put in or to review what might not be working.
Keep on it, and schedule time in each week to review roles that have come up and chase up on roles you’re waiting to hear back on. Remember every application is getting you nearer that dream next step – stay focussed, stay patient and stay on it. Give yourself a realistic time scale and build in measures so you can see you’re doing the groundwork, even if the perfect role hasn’t come up… yet.
8. STAY POSITIVEWe often say to candidates, it can be a bit like waiting for a bus … the right role might not come up for some time, and then suddenly several great ones come up at once! So, our final tip is stay positive and stay on it – in job hunting it is certainly true that you will reap what you sow!
