Meetings & Events Manager
We are seeking a driven and ambitious Meeting and Events Manager, who will be responsible for planning events taking place in our event space for up to 200 pax and overseeing the operation of four premium meeting rooms.
You will collaborate with members, internal teams, and external partners to plan and execute a wide range of events from idea to post-event review.
You have an excellent eye for detail and will be able to create detailed event sheets, including timelines, technical requirements, food & beverage offerings, floor plans and equipment setup and breakdown to be shared with the teams.
You will ensure all events run seamlessly from setup to breakdown by coordinating all logistical aspects.
You will have natural charm, flare, and presence. This doesn’t mean stuffy or formal; we are neither of these.
You will be able to effectively communicate with all parties and sound/lighting technicians to ensure the seamless operation of equipment during events and be able to troubleshoot quickly and efficiently.
You’re not afraid to get your hands dirty and will be at the forefront leading all events and responsible for meeting room planning and comms.
You will be commercially astute and ideally have knowledge of profit & loss, budgeting and forecasting.
You will drive strong relationships with event organisers and bookers to encourage repeat business. Driving the highest standards we have in cleanliness, presentation, and service quality at all times will be key to this role.
You will work closely with our Senior Event Manager to deliver the best wedding experiences and will be on site to conduct these with the team.
You are able to multi-task to the highest level and can meet SLA’s on email responses whilst being in control of logistics on a day to day basis.
You will be responsible for responding to all enquiries and ensure the highest level of response, in both timing and quality.
You will be open to feedback and react quickly to improve our products and customer experience relentlessly, a capacity for hard work, a natural ability to get on with people, and a sense of humour are a must.
ABOUT US
Ministry of Sound opened in 1991 in a disused bus garage in a forgotten corner of South London. It was the first nightclub in the UK to have a 24-hour licence, didn’t serve alcohol and featured an earth-shaking sound system in a specially constructed dance box.
We went on to become the world’s largest independent record company (now owned by Sony) and stage giant dance events, including one for 50,000 people at the Millennium Dome. We were pioneers in electronic music and have a history of taking risks, innovation, and colourful and creative marketing.
As a business, we don’t take ourselves too seriously, like to laugh and have fun, but we have high standards, relentless attention to detail and the continuous improvement of our product, and we work hard as a team.
We hate cliché, doing things the way others do and continuously seek to differentiate our brands and products almost as a point of pride.
Thirty years later we opened The Ministry, a workspace run as a member’s club, in a 50,000 sq. ft Victorian warehouse in SE1. There’s excellent F&B, a state-of-the-art gym and fitness studio with daily classes, together with a cultural and business events programme. The design is relaxed but functional with a bar, opening windows, an outside courtyard and plenty of space to sit, relax, work and socialise – everything you wouldn’t expect to find in a standard office.
This role sits across all of our businesses.
