Do you like planning and coordinating a wide range of events?

We have an exciting opportunity for you to join The Bodleian Libraries events team.

You will conduct client show rounds, respond to enquiries from a range of customers and work with external suppliers and internal stakeholders. You will liaise with clients and colleagues to plan and agree the operational arrangements for each event and, on the event days, you will oversee the set-up and start of the event, and hand over to the Event Supervisors when appropriate. You will work closely with the Bodleian’s suppliers to maintain key relationships.
