Our multinational client is seeking a driven, senior event planner with global expertise to spearhead a programme of strategically-important activity.
In this critical role, you’ll be responsible for managing the end-to-end logistics for a range of internal & external events, ensuring seamless execution and coordinating resources effectively. You’ll need to build strong relationships with vendors, oversee cross-functional event planning teams, manage budgets & resources and ensure all activity is aligned with the company’s strategic objectives.
We’re looking for an articulate, commercial & high-energy professional, someone who brings bags of strategic nous and a proven ability to juggle tactical delivery with smooth project management. While much of the assignment will involve the execution of an existing large-scale events programme, there is also significant scope here to bring in creative ideas. You’ll also need to be prepared for international travel, particularly in June during a particularly busy period of roadshows in the UK, France & Germany.
This largely remote, interim senior event planner assignment will run for an initial 6-month term, starting as soon as possible and you could be based in the US, UK or Europe.
