Grade: 8

About the team

Events for London sits within the External Relations unit and is responsible for delivering the Mayor of London’s flagship events programme, including large‑scale public events and statutory and ceremonial events.. The team works closely with the Mayor’s Office and a wide range of external partners to deliver safe, inclusive and impactful events that engage Londoners and showcase London at the best city in the world.

About the role

We are looking for an experienced and highly organised Senior Events Officer to lead the delivery of key ceremonial and statutory events within the Mayor of London’s events programme.

This is a unique and high-profile role responsible for delivering events of national and civic significance, including Remembrance services, Black History Month, Holocaust Memorial Day, and People’s Question Time. You will work at the centre of London’s public life, collaborating with senior stakeholders, statutory agencies and community partners to deliver events to the highest standard.

You will also contribute to wider events across the programme, support Mayoral engagements, and play a key role in ensuring events reflect London’s diversity and deliver meaningful public engagement.

What your day will look like

This is not your average events role. As Senior Events Officer, you’ll be at the heart of some of London’s most powerful civic moments—events that bring people together, honour history, celebrate diversity and give Londoners a voice.

You’ll play a key role in delivering events of real significance, including the City Hall Remembrance Service and the State of London Debate—moments that matter across the capital and beyond.

In this role, you will:

Work at the centre of London’s public life, shaping high-profile civic and ceremonial events
Collaborate with senior stakeholders, statutory partners and community groups across the city
Balance big-picture thinking with meticulous attention to detail
Help ensure events are inclusive, representative and genuinely impactful
Thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same

One day you could be refining event delivery plans with partners and stakeholders; the next, working closely with communities to bring their voices into the heart of London’s events programme.

We’re looking for someone who stays calm under pressure, brings creativity and care to their work, and is passionate about making events truly meaningful. If you want to help shape how London comes together, this is a rare opportunity to do just that.

To be considered for the role you must meet the following essential criteria:

Extensive project management experience, with a proven track record in planning, delivering and evaluating large-scale conferences, ceremonial events, campaigns and initiatives.
