Events Manager | 2 Months | Investment Services

Can you step into a live event and confidently take it across the line?

We’re working with a highly credible, purpose‑driven organisation to find an experienced Events Manager to lead delivery of a flagship annual event taking place this summer. This is a short‑term contract created to cover a critical delivery period and ensure a high‑profile event lands smoothly.

This is a hands‑on, senior delivery role - ideal for someone who enjoys ownership, pace, and working with stakeholder‑led, professional audiences.

The Opportunity
You’ll be stepping into a project already in motion, taking responsibility for the final pre‑event phase, live delivery, and immediate wrap‑up. Depending on availability, the role can:

• Start part‑time (e.g. 3 days per week) and move to full‑time as the event approaches, or
• Be full‑time from day one, with scope to support additional events

This is a collaborative environment, but you’ll be the person holding everything together.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Taking ownership of a major annual event from run‑up through to delivery
• Coordinating multiple workstreams, including:
  • Stakeholder management
  • Speaker coordination
  • Marketing and communications
  • Website and digital content
  • Sponsorship deliverables
  • Branding and design assets
  • Suppliers and production partners
  • On‑the‑day logistics
• Line‑managing an Events Officer
• Working closely with a wider internal team to ensure deadlines and standards are met
• Leading calmly and professionally on the event days themselves

Working Pattern & Location

• Contract length: approx. 2–3 months
• Start: ASAP
• Working pattern: Flexible (part‑time initially or full‑time from the start)
• Location: Hybrid, with a strong preference for being predominantly on site in central London due to the nature and timeline of the role

About You This role is suited to someone who:

• Has delivered complex, high‑profile events (conferences, summits, investor or policy‑led events)
• Is comfortable stepping into a live project and taking control quickly
• Has strong stakeholder management skills and can work with senior, time‑poor audiences
• Is confident coordinating comms, suppliers, branding and logistics in parallel
• Enjoys delivery‑focused, short‑term assignments where precision matters

Experience in investment, ESG, policy, professional services or similar environments is a strong advantage.

Why Apply?

• Ownership of a flagship, high‑visibility event
• Autonomous role with real responsibility
• Flexible working pattern with a clear delivery focus
• Opportunity to contribute to meaningful, purpose‑driven work
• Strong support from an experienced agency throughout the assignment
