The Growth Company’s (GC) Marketing Manchester team is seeking an Events Assistant to support the planning, delivery and evaluation of a diverse programme of events that promote Manchester as a leading destination for business, leisure tourism, investment and growth. Working closely with the Senior Event Manager, you will help deliver high-quality events that support Marketing Manchester's objectives and business plan.

At Marketing Manchester, we promote Greater Manchester nationally and internationally as a leading place to visit, invest, meet, and study. We work to raise the profile of the region through targeted marketing campaigns, major events, and strong partnerships. We support the visitor economy by attracting tourists and high-profile conferences, while collaborating with businesses and stakeholders to showcase the region’s unique strengths and opportunities. Through everything we do, we aim to drive economic growth and enhance Manchester’s global reputation.

This is a hybrid role, with a minimum of one day per week based at our Manchester office, Lee House.

Key Responsibilities:

Support the Senior Event Manager with the planning, delivery and evaluation of events, providing logistical and administrative support throughout the event lifecycle.
Assist with the on-site setup, delivery and breakdown of events and activities, including occasional evenings and weekends.
Provide event-day support, including delegate registration, guest list management and directing attendees.
Liaise with external suppliers to source and procure event services in line with budget and procurement procedures.
Process purchase orders and payments accurately and in a timely manner using internal finance systems.
Maintain accurate event records and update information within the CRM database.
Work collaboratively with colleagues and external partners to support the successful delivery of the annual events programme.
Represent Marketing Manchester professionally at events, promoting a positive image of the organisation to stakeholders, clients and delegates.

About You:

A confident and enthusiastic individual with a genuine interest in developing a career in events.
Proactive and results-oriented, with the ability to take initiative and work independently.
A strong communicator, able to build positive relationships with a wide range of people.
Highly organised and detail-focused, capable of managing multiple tasks effectively.

Skills Required:

Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications.
Excellent planning and organisational skills, with the ability to prioritise work and meet deadlines.
Strong interpersonal and communication skills, both written and verbal.
A professional qualification in Marketing, Communications, Events Management, or Tourism.
Experience of working in an office or customer-facing environment would be an advantage.

We are currently unable to provide sponsorship for work permits or visas. Therefore, we can only consider candidates who already have the legal right to work in the UK.

Artificial intelligence can assist you during the application process, but every example and statement you include must be honest, accurate, and based on your own real experiences. If plagiarism is detected, meaning you present someone else’s ideas or experiences, or AI‑generated content, as your own, your application may be withdrawn, and internal applicants could face disciplinary action.

At GC, safeguarding the welfare of all individuals including vulnerable adults and young people is a top priority, and we expect all staff to uphold this standard. All appointments follow Safer Recruitment Procedures, including a DBS check carried out by Due Diligence Limited (DDC Ltd), at no cost to the successful candidate.

Please note: It is a legal offence to apply for a role involving regulated activity if you are on the Barred List.

We are committed to increasing workforce diversity and offer a guaranteed interview to applicants who meet the essential criteria and either have a disability or are from a diverse ethnic community.

If this applies to you, you can request consideration under this scheme during the application process. Your request will be shared only with the Hiring Manager and Internal Recruitment Team.

We also aim to make our recruitment process inclusive and accessible. If you need reasonable adjustments or have any general enquiries at any stage or the recruitment process, please contact [email protected] or call us on 0161 237 4447.

Examples include:

Meeting the hiring manager or touring the venue in advance.
Extra time for tasks.
Interview questions shared beforehand.
Accessibility software or equipment for assessments.

We’re proud to support the Ban the Box campaign, which helps people with convictions access job opportunities. As part of this, we’ve removed questions about convictions from the initial application stage.

GC is committed to fostering a culture of flexibility and agile working. Many roles will increasingly support full agile arrangements. If you require more permanent flexibility, we encourage you to discuss this during your interview so your request can be considered early in the process.

All GC colleagues will work in line with the Health and Safety at work act and the GC Health and Safety Policy.
