Join Trade Mastermind
Founded by BBC The Apprentice winner Joseph Valente, Trade Mastermind is a fast-growing UK business education, coaching and training organisation dedicated to helping ambitious business owners build more profitable, scalable and successful companies.
Since launching, we have supported thousands of business owners through our coaching programmes, live events, training and business education.
Our home is the impressive 20,000 sq. ft. Trade Mastermind University Headquarters in Peterborough, featuring a 300-seat live event arena, professional podcast and media studios, dedicated training facilities, and premium networking and hospitality spaces.
Events sit at the heart of the Trade Mastermind experience, and as we continue to grow, we're looking for an exceptional Head of Events to take ownership of our events operation and help take it to the next level.
This is not a typical events role.
As Head of Events, you will take ownership of the strategy, planning, delivery and commercial performance of a busy calendar of 20+ events per month.
Our events range from intimate workshops, training days and mastermind sessions through to conferences, networking experiences, exhibitions, trade shows and larger-scale business events.
You will lead and develop our Events Team while working closely with senior leadership and our Sales and Marketing departments to ensure every event delivers an outstanding experience and supports the wider commercial objectives of the business.
You'll also play an important role in developing sponsorships, strategic partnerships and new commercial opportunities around our growing events portfolio.
Your mission is simple: create exceptional experiences that deliver results, strengthen customer relationships and establish Trade Mastermind as a leading name in business education and events.
What You'll Be Responsible For
You will take overall ownership of the Trade Mastermind events strategy, overseeing the planning and successful delivery of our monthly events calendar while continually looking for opportunities to improve the experience for attendees.
From initial concept through to live delivery, you'll ensure every event reflects the Trade Mastermind brand and is executed to an exceptional standard. This includes overseeing venue operations, production and AV, catering, registration, suppliers, logistics and the overall customer experience.
As the leader of the Events Team, you'll provide clear direction, establish effective processes and KPIs, develop existing team members and recruit additional talent as the department grows. During live events, you'll be a visible leader and the senior point of escalation when challenges need to be resolved quickly.
Commercially, you'll work closely with our Sales and Marketing teams to maximise attendance, engagement and opportunities generated through our events. You'll also develop relationships with sponsors, exhibitors, suppliers and strategic partners, identifying opportunities to introduce new event formats, partnerships and revenue streams.
You'll take responsibility for event budgets, expenditure and supplier negotiations, balancing commercial performance with the delivery of premium experiences.
Using attendance data, customer feedback and commercial results, you'll report on event performance to senior leadership and continually identify ways to improve engagement, efficiency, customer experience and return on investment.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for an experienced and commercially minded events leader who is comfortable operating in a fast-paced, ambitious and entrepreneurial environment.
You'll ideally have 5+ years' experience within senior event management, with experience delivering a high volume of events and leading an events team.
You'll bring strong leadership, project management and organisational skills alongside a solid understanding of budgets, suppliers and commercial event performance. You'll be confident working with senior stakeholders and collaborating across Sales and Marketing.
Most importantly, you'll be someone who takes ownership. You'll be calm under pressure, exceptionally organised and passionate about creating memorable experiences that deliver measurable results for both customers and the business.
Experience scaling an events function or introducing new commercial event opportunities would be particularly valuable.
