When structuring our team we like to focus on the objectives to be achieved, not the “function”. Your objective as our Senior Event Specialist will be to get our teams together in a meaningful and impactful way. 

You will be part of the team who owns anything that has to do with company and team events: budget, process, planning, communications, execution, tracking data, feedback… An event for us is anything that gets our teams together: from a team lunch to a 2-day-long company offsite or a meeting between our colleagues in the Birmingham hub. Organizing some of these will just require you to set up an easy process so that teams can book on their own, while some other events will require a very active involvement in planning and executing.

We’re looking for someone who has a strong experience and skills to manage the current challenges, but who is also looking to grow, experiment and challenge our approach towards getting together

What you will do...

• Strategic thinking: be able to act quickly for events that come up from nowhere but also be able to think in the long-term and plan the events for the whole year.
• Able to manage events that are in other locations (in any of our hubs), remote events or hybrid events.
• Leading development, brainstorming, design, event creation, and communications for all-employee gatherings.
• Designing and implementing methods to transform the remote/hybrid experience of company events.
• Manage all aspects of event execution from proposal to delivery:
• Handle budgeting and invoicing
• Source, liaise, and negotiate with vendors
• Oversee logistics and ensure smooth operations
• Share updates with management
• Manage communication with stakeholders
• Lead or assist with event content creation
• Provide aftercare (answering questions and comments)
• Attend events when necessary
• Develop event feedback surveys
• Coordinate all event operations
• Supervise staff (event coordinators, caterers, etc.) if applicable
• Ensure smooth event completion and resolve any issues that arise
• Analyze event success and prepare reports

What we look for...

• 3+ years in events management for a > 300 employees company (tech or startup company is a plus).
• Strong English communication skills (written and verbal). Advanced Spanish is a plus (written and verbal).
• Team player. We're not joking here. We need top class collaborators.
• Humble: you’re ok with the spotlight, but you don’t crave it. You know what you don’t know and you’re willing to learn.
• Extreme Ownership + Getting things done attitude
• Exceptional organizational abilities, superb interpersonal skills, multi-tasking and prioritization skills, attention to detail and excellent time-management.
• Proactive approach and able to work under pressure. Look for problems to solve before they become problems. But when they become problems, stay cool and solve them quickly.
• Extremely hands-on: you don't mind solving small problems or big problems. From high-level planning to detailed exec
