Job Description

My client is a well-established and highly regarded events management specialist primarily working in the pharmaceutical sector. Due to growth, they are currently seeking a motivated and dynamic candidate to join their Event Project Management team. Duties will include:

• Building event registration platforms, writing event documents, and securing client approval.
• Communication with event delegates regarding travel, accommodation, etc.
• Tracking delegate attendance status and providing updates to clients on a weekly basis.
• Creation of travel itineraries and providing support regarding visas, etc.

• Assisting with research for accommodation and event venues.
• Preparing event documentation such as signage, lanyards, badges, conference packs, etc.
• On-site delegate management (international travel will be part of the role).

This is a key role within the Projects team with significant logistical responsibility. As such, applicants must possess a high degree of attention to detail along with outstanding communication skills—both verbal and written.
