Job Description

Ready for Your Next Big Career Move?

We’re looking for an ambitious Events Executive to join the West Midlands Growth Company and help deliver high‑profile events that showcase the region on a national and global stage. If you’re organised, creative, and excited by the fast pace of events, this could be your perfect next step.

Who are we?

The West Midlands Growth Company (WMGC) is the region’s marketing and economic development delivery organisation.

From April 2026, we will lead the delivery of regionally commissioned economic development activity aligned to the West Midlands Growth Plan, working in partnership with the West Midlands Combined Authority and local authorities.

We’re building a dynamic, business‑focused organisation that attracts investment, supports high‑growth companies, and amplifies the West Midlands’ profile as a world‑class destination.

If you want your work to make a visible impact across one of the UK’s most exciting regions, this is your opportunity.

The Role

As our new Events Executive, you’ll work within a collaborative Central Marketing team to help plan, develop, and deliver a diverse portfolio of events — from business conferences and private dinners to trade shows, exhibitions, and international missions.

This is a hands‑on role where you’ll support end‑to‑end event delivery, engage with a wide range of stakeholders, and contribute to activity that puts the West Midlands firmly on the map.

You’ll Be Involved In:

Supporting and Delivering High‑Quality Events

Help plan and execute a variety of WMGC‑led events, assisting with everything from supplier sourcing and logistics to content development and event‑day delivery.

Stakeholder Engagement Across a Complex Network

Work closely with partners including the West Midlands Combined Authority, the seven local authorities, universities, private‑sector organisations, and government departments.

Ensuring Smooth, Professional Event Operations

Take responsibility for guest management, communications, speaker coordination, itineraries, venue liaison, and on‑site hosting to create a seamless attendee experience.

What You’ll Be Doing

Supporting the Event Lead in the planning and execution of multiple events simultaneously.
Managing supplier sourcing and procurement paperwork in line with company guidelines.
Coordinating speaker briefings, event content, presentation decks, and run‑of‑show plans.
Delivering event marketing, including invitations, communications, and guest list management.
Providing on‑the‑day support — including registration, venue coordination, catering, speaker liaison, and logistics.
Engaging with stakeholders and partners, attending meetings, and ensuring event actions and updates are captured.
Supporting the evaluation of events through data gathering and analysis to inform future activity.
Building strong internal relationships to ensure content and messages remain current and aligned with wider WMGC objectives.
Ensuring all activity complies with company processes, including risk, procurement, contract management, and RAIDD procedures.

What You’ll Bring

Essential:

At least 3 years’ experience planning and delivering events, with a strong event portfolio.
A proactive, hands‑on approach and the confidence to work independently.
Excellent communication skills — written, verbal, and creative.
Strong attention to detail and exceptional organisational skills.
Ability to work calmly in a fast‑paced environment while managing multiple deadlines.
Strong stakeholder management capability, including working with senior individuals.
Excellent IT skills, particularly Microsoft Office.
Strong negotiation skills and ability to secure best value from suppliers.

Desirable:

Evidence of continuous professional development within the events industry.
Experience working with public‑sector clients or business event audiences.
Confidence networking and building rapport with new stakeholders.
A creative mindset with the ability to develop innovative event concepts.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

26 days holiday

Company pension scheme including life assurance

Hybrid working with 2 days in the office

Cycle to work

Simple Health employee membership scheme

Equal Opportunities Statement

We’re an equal opportunities employer and welcome applicants from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We’re committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.
