Job Description:
Full job descriptionA leading global financial services firm is seeking a Senior Events Manager to join their EMEA events team on a 6-month contract, covering maternity leave. This is a hands-on, fast-paced role within a small, collaborative team responsible for delivering an extensive portfolio of high-touch client events across the region.
You will own the end-to-end planning and execution of around 100 events per year, typically intimate formats with 100 to 250 attendees, ranging from small round-table dinners to larger client programmes. The role is purely events-focused (no marketing, comms, or PR remit) and requires someone who thrives on detail, can move quickly between simultaneous priorities, and is genuinely comfortable being assertive with senior stakeholders and vendors.
What you’ll do
*Plan and deliver around 100 client events per year across the EMEA region, including some European travel
*Manage the full event lifecycle: venue sourcing, vendor negotiation, budgets, contracts, invoicing, registration, name badges, AV, and onsite delivery
*Produce clear post-event reports and updates for senior stakeholders
*Partner with the wider events team on shared programmes and assist with larger global initiatives
*Liaise with vendors, suppliers, and senior internal stakeholders, often under tight timelines
What we’re looking for
*5+ years of corporate events experience, ideally within private banking, wealth management, professional services, or consumer luxury
*Track record of delivering high-touch, premium events at scale, with strong attention to detail
*Excellent written and verbal communication, with the confidence to push back and direct vendors when needed
*Highly organised self-starter who works well as part of a small team
*Flexibility around hours: late finishes and occasional weekends come with the territory
*Available to commit to a full 6-month contract, 5 days a week in Central London
*European language skills (Spanish, French, Italian, or German) a plus, not essential
Robert Walters Operations Limited is an employment business and employment agency and welcomes applications from all candidates
