Where better to show you’re ready to rise to the top in events management than as an Event Manager within a media, marketing and advertising network that’s seeking out fresh talent to fuel the next dramatic phase in its success story?

Iconic Media is a major publishing force with an ambitious events division that delivers over 150 events annually: covering everything from awards ceremonies to conferences and business breakfasts, across a breadth of sectors. As the business enters an exciting new era of growth, this is the perfect time for a target-driven, commercially oriented Event Manager to rise to the challenge and reap the rewards.

You’ll have ownership of every aspect of the events lifecycle, including relationship building, revenue generation and the immediate need to take on and run with a busy schedule of events. The role depends on your ability to build project plans, negotiate with third parties, engage with media partners, continually seek opportunities to add value and establish a market lead, support sales teams in generating sponsorships, drive ticket revenue and keep on top of cost lines in order to hit targeted profit levels.

So what have you been doing up to now?

Ideally, working in a publishing company where events are a core part of the business offer and the key to driving revenue. You’ve certainly gained great experience in a B2B events environment, including awards ceremonies, where you’ve honed your ability to manage everything – sourcing comperes, entertainment, speakers and figureheads to suit each event. And it goes without saying that you’re creative, organised and a natural communicator and negotiator, with a sound grasp of event costs, no matter how many you’re handling at once.

You’ll be joining an organisation that has achieved impressive growth through a combination of entrepreneurial flair, independent ownership and stability – and is still hungry for more. It’s a dynamic, supportive environment for individual high-achievers who are also solid team players, and it offers rewards and career prospects to match.

If that sounds like your kind of challenge, tell us why you’re the perfect fit!
