In this dynamic role, you will lead the full lifecycle of event management—from the initial enquiry and professional site tours to final invoicing and post-event evaluation. You will be the primary point of contact for a wide range of clients, managing everything from academic conferences, business and industry events to large-scale international summer schools.

This is a role for a self-starter who enjoys independence. While you will report to the Conference Manager, you will be expected to manage your own workflow, navigate logistical challenges, and act as a key liaison between the University and commercial partners.

The Venues & Events Coordinator will manage the full enquiry-to-billing lifecycle for a high volume of events, ensuring meticulous record-keeping through Event Management Software such as Kinetics. Key responsibilities include creating detailed function sheets for internal teams—including Catering, Estates, AV, and Security—and leading on-the-day delivery to resolve immediate operational issues. The successful candidate will drive commercial growth by negotiating rates, managing event budgets, and contributing to innovative marketing and social media campaigns. Furthermore, the role involves acting as a lead for the intricate planning of residential summer schools and international visiting groups, while also negotiating with academic departments to align stakeholder needs and representing the University at regional networking events.
