Job Summary

Own end-to-end live B2B events from concept to delivery, driving budgets, speaker & agenda logistics, sponsor management, and on-site execution.

  • Own projects from brief to delivery across conferences, exhibitions, awards and webinars.
  • Manage budgets, invoices, and supplier negotiations to protect margins.
  • Lead on-site delivery and post-event debriefs while collaborating with Publishing, PR, Design, and Sales.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Mastering the Blueprint: Take full project ownership of assigned events - including major conferences, awards evenings, exhibitions, roundtables, webinars, and site/factory tours - delivering "done and excellent" on time and within budget.
  • Budget Tracking & Financial Oversight: Maintain, track, and cross-reference overall project budgets set by the Events Director from start to finish. Keep events profitable, sweat the numbers, and ensure purchase orders and invoices are raised correctly.
  • Speaker & Agenda Logistics: Act as the primary champion for your speakers - managing invites, briefing packs, presentation slides, complex multi-track programmes, and hosting them on-site.
  • Sponsor & Exhibitor Success: Build strong, trust-based relationships with key sponsors and exhibitors, coordinating their stand allocations, venue requirements, and ensuring every single package benefit is delivered without a hitch.
  • Websites & Proactive Marketing: Take ownership of the event presence online - keeping our event websites accurate, engaging, and up to date, while having a genuine say in how we market and position each event. Working closely with the wider marketing, PR, publishing, and design teams, you won't wait for instructions; you’ll help steer the ship by spotting opportunities, shaping campaigns, and making sure marketing activity drives registrations.
  • Awards & Entry Generation: Take full ownership of the awards journey from start to finish. You’ll identify the right businesses, brands, people, and projects to target, build a strong pipeline of potential entrants, and take a proactive approach to outreach and conversion. You'll help shape entry strategy, manage entry portals and coordinate judging panels.
  • Venues & Suppliers: Research, negotiate, and book venues, AV teams, caterers, photographers, and videographers. We treat our suppliers with the exact same respect as our highest-paying clients - our network is our net worth.
  • Delegate Journey & CRM: Oversee registration flows, maintain crisp attendee data, and keep our CRM - our single source of truth - updated and accurate.
  • Onsite Leadership & Live Delivery: Lead on-the-day event execution, venue setup, registration desks, staff briefings, supplier orchestration, and on-the-spot troubleshooting.
  • Post-Event Debriefs: Gather delegate and sponsor/exhibitor feedback, analyse stats, and run honest post-event evaluations so every single event is sharper than the last.

Requirements

  • The Track Record: At least 3 years of hands-on experience planning, coordinating, and delivering live B2B conferences, exhibitions, or industry awards from start to finish.
  • Sweating the Quiet Details: You notice the little things nobody else sees - because the magic of Radar is in the quiet, seamless execution. You manage task deadlines comfortably inside our project management system.
  • Commercial Mindset: Confident with budget management, negotiating supplier rates, and protecting project margins.
  • Solutions-Focused Attitude: Bringing a problem to the table is easy; bringing a problem with two potential fixes is how you operate. When live events pivot, you stay calm, adapt, and help the team put it right.
  • Tech Savvy: Comfortable with MS Office, CRM databases , and project management tools.
  • On the Road: Willingness for occasional overnight stays.

Benefits

  • The Birthday Rule: Your birthday is an extra day of paid leave on us. If it falls on a weekend, enjoy the following Monday off.
  • Breakfast Club: Every two weeks the whole team gathers in the kitchen for breakfast on us. Show up hungry!
  • Milestone Rewards: We value loyalty. Celebrate your 5-year anniversary with a voucher of your choice.
  • Investors in People Accreditation: We are officially accredited for our commitment to supporting, training, and building brilliant long-term careers for our team.
