Events Manager

£30,000 per annum, 12-month Fixed Term Contract

Hybrid working

English National Opera offer something different – world-class, accessible opera, available to everyone. Our talented Development Department fundraise towards all the work we do, a vital part of which is delighting our stakeholders with a range of fantastic events. This is where you come in.

From free Opera tickets and the chance to work in London’s iconic Coliseum, being part of our collaborative and dynamic Development Department is an exciting, varied role where no two days are the same. As Events Manager, one evening you could be setting sail with singers on an Uber Love Boat  and the next looking after a youth theatre conference, or preparing for our annual Gala. You’ll work with a really interesting range of commercial and corporate clients, collaborating with different teams across the building to make each event unique, memorable and part of the future of the ENO.

We’re looking for someone with experience in events, hires and venue management, and able to translate creative ideas into commercial proposals. If you are calm under pressure, quick to learn and thrive in a fast-paced environment, then we would love to hear from you.

Further details on the role can be found in the Recruitment Pack.

To apply, please send the following documents to [email protected] no later than 12:00 noon, Monday 22nd May 2023.
