Events & Marketing Assistant

We are looking for an events dynamo. Someone who thrives on pace, takes ownership and knows how to deliver exceptional commercial events from start to finish.

An exciting opportunity has arisen within a fast-growing, private equity-backed business to join a highly collaborative and ambitious team.

This is a predominantly hands-on events role (80%) with additional exposure to marketing campaigns and communications (20%).

From large-scale trade shows and industry conferences to exclusive client dinners, corporate hospitality and networking events, you will be instrumental in bringing an exciting calendar of commercial events to life.

We need someone who can plan, organise, problem-solve and deliver. Someone who is just as comfortable managing suppliers and coordinating logistics as they are setting up an exhibition stand, welcoming guests or handling last-minute changes.

The role will entail:

• Coordinating end-to-end delivery of commercial B2B events, including exhibitions, trade shows, conferences, private dining, client socials and corporate hospitality
• Managing event logistics, venues, suppliers, registrations, invitations, delegate communications and on-site delivery.
• Taking a genuinely hands-on approach, including exhibition stand setup, breakdown and event-day troubleshooting.
• Working closely with sales teams to ensure events deliver a strong client experience and generate commercial opportunities.
• Coordinating webinars, networking events, speaker engagements and industry partnerships.
• Managing multiple events simultaneously, maintaining timelines, budgets and consistently high standards.
• Oversee post-event follow-up, feedback, lead tracking and reporting.
• Supporting event-related marketing campaigns, email communications and social media activity.
• Creating engaging promotional content to drive attendance and engagement.
• Assisting with CRM reporting, campaign performance and wider marketing initiatives.

Applicants must have:

• Proven end-to-end B2B events experience is essential.
• You must have personally coordinated and delivered commercial events.
• Experience of trade shows, exhibitions, conferences, corporate hospitality or client-facing business events.
• Marketing exposure, particularly event promotion, campaigns and digital communications.
