Job Description

Business Lead & Events Manager – Southern Region - HYBRID

Not-for-Profit Energy Industry Leader

£40,000 - £42,000 + Excellent Benefits | Hybrid (London HQ) | UK Travel | 35-Hour Week

Run events with purpose. Work with balance. Shape the UK energy conversation.

We’re working exclusively with a leading not-for-profit membership organisation that champions the UK energy supply chain. They’re hiring a proactive, commercially minded Business Lead & Events Manager to lead their regional events programme across London, Southampton, Birmingham, and South Wales.

You’ll own the end-to-end delivery of ~8 events per year, from developing agendas and securing speakers to managing budgets, sponsors, and delegate engagement. These events aren’t box-ticking exercises — they’re highly visible, content-driven forums that connect the sector and support strategy.

Why this role stands out

• Work for a purpose-led NGO, not a profit-driven business
• Autonomy to shape your own events portfolio and engage senior stakeholders
• Join a collaborative team with a flexible, trust-based culture
• True work-life balance with a 35-hour working week and early Friday finishes
• Represent a respected industry voice with reach

Benefits that support your work and your life

• 25 days’ holiday + 8 bank holidays
• Additional holidays after 3 and 5 years’ service
• 5% employer pension contribution
• Private medical insurance (post-probation)
• Life assurance
• Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
• Long service recognition
• Hybrid working with flexibility: ideally 1–2 days a week in the London office
• Flex around events: some weeks may require more travel, others less — it's about trust and balance

What we’re looking for

• 3+ years in event management or business development
• Strong communicator with confidence recruiting speakers and managing stakeholders
• Highly organised, commercially aware, and comfortable working independently
• Genuine interest in the energy sector (experience helpful but not required)
