The Law Society represents solicitors in England and Wales. From negotiating with and lobbying the profession's regulators, government and other decision makers, to offering training and advice, we're here to help, protect and promote solicitors.
Critical to the success of the organisation is the number and range of events that are provided throughout the year. As an event officer, you will organise and execute a portfolio of small events including working with internal and external parties on content, liaising with speakers and managing all logistics to ensure the event is delivered to a high standard. You will take ownership for the running of the event from producing marketing materials, in line with our corporate guidelines, through to communication with delegates, speakers and venue staff, resolving any problems as they arise. Additionally, you will track and report on progress against budget for events to ensure targets are met.
To be successful, you will have previous experience working in an events team. You will be a confident communicator with excellent interpersonal skills and be able to represent the organisation professionally at all times. You will have experience of using the full range of Microsoft Office packages and other databases. Above all, you will be able to deliver many projects simultaneously, whilst ensuring that accuracy and detail are maintained.
This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in delivering outstanding service to our members on behalf of the Law Society.
We offer a comprehensive flexible benefits package, a friendly working environment and the opportunity to develop your career in a professional environment.
