About the role

We are recruiting a Senior Events Manager to join our Events team on a permanent basis. This Senior Events Manager will strategically advise stakeholders on event format, content and delivery to ensure it maximises not only the project objectives, but wider UCL objectives as a whole. The postholder will not only focus on the logistics of producing top-class events for UCL, but will also be involved in advising on the content and context of the events, to ensure that UCL's story is being told as widely as possible and the impact is as far-reaching as possible.

The Senior Events Manager will effectively resource projects across the team of Event Managers and Event Officers, motivating and empowering to deliver engaging activity, and will also line manage a team of Event Managers and Event Officers. They will continuously seek improvements, by devising and delivering ways to measure and analyse its success and impact, and will be responsible for managing complex budgets. They will proactively support and engage with colleagues in VPEE, Vice Provosts' offices, other Professional Services and academic departments.

Applications without a covering letter or supporting statement detailing your suitability for the role and how you meet the essential and desirable criteria will not be considered for shortlisting.

About you

To excel in this role you will need to have extensive experience of creating, organising and managing a variety of successful in-person and virtual events including large events (2, plus) as well as bespoke content-led activity, and a thorough knowledge of strategic event planning – not just the logistics – to make sure events are insight-led, meet defined objectives, tell a clear story and can be successfully measured. You'll also be comfortable liaising, negotiating with and influencing senior stakeholders, in presenting ideas and managing complex budgets, operating within a tight budgetary framework.

You are a natural leader, able to motivate, line manage and delegate tasks whilst empowering colleagues to create, innovate and deliver, and create a collaborative working culture. You are organised, have meticulous attention to detail and are a committed team player who is willing to 'muck in', but you are equally able to work independently and support others to do so when required. You are a clear and confident communicator (written and in-person) and are able to deal with difficult situations diplomatically, calmly and to make on the spot decisions when necessary in urgent situations.

What we offer

As well as the exciting opportunities this role presents, we also offer some great benefits some of which are below:

41 Days holiday (27 days annual leave 8 bank holiday and 6 closure days) Additional 5 days' annual leave purchase scheme Defined benefit career average revalued earnings pension scheme (CARE) Cycle to work scheme and season ticket loan Immigration loan Relocation scheme for certain posts On-Site nursery On-site gym Enhanced maternity, paternity and adoption pay Employee assistance programme: Staff Support Service Discounted medical insurance
