Events General Manager £35-40k DOE + Plus Overtime
40 Hrs per week (Monday-Friday) — must be flexible to work between two sites
Immediate start | Full-time, dynamic schedule, Historic Venue
Are you ready to lead with purpose in a role where no two days are the same?
We’re looking for a highly organized, proactive, and passionate Events General Manager to join our innovative, people-first team. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives on variety — from managing corporate events to delivering intimate supper clubs and elegant banquets.
You’ll oversee operations, managing every detail of event execution. From canapé receptions to seated banquets, you’ll ensure flawless delivery — working closely with your team and clients at every step.
Your Role Will Include:
- Lead event operations from start to finish, ensuring smooth setup, excellent service, and efficient breakdown.
- Coordinate logistics — including pack lists, drinks stock, linen hire, disposables, and service plans.
- Refine and document systems in a clear, practical "Handbook" to support consistency and growth.
- Manage a trusted freelance and agency team, ensuring everyone is briefed and confident in their roles.
- Train teams in fine dining and high-end service standards, lead event briefings, and uphold exceptional quality.
- Own the details, with a focus on due diligence, compliance, and preparation — even during quieter weeks.
- Act as the calm, professional point of contact for clients, communicating clearly and confidently throughout.
- Support off-site events (second location)
- Stay in sync with HQ, sharing updates, insights, and opportunities for improvement regularly.
What We’re Looking For:
- A confident, hands-on leader with a natural flair for organizing and executing polished, high-impact events.
- Proven experience in events operations, with exposure to both corporate and private bespoke events. (Historic venue experience is a bonus but not essential.)
- A strong service background with a passion for excellence, detail, and guest satisfaction.
- Calm under pressure, with outstanding communication skills and a solutions-first approach.
- Immediate availability and willingness to work flexible hours (approx. 30 event hours/week with some variation).
