Events & Operations Manager - Kensington Palace

Role: Events and Operations Manager at Kensington Palace

Organisation: Historic Royal Palaces

We are a team of people who love and look after six of the most wonderful palaces in the world. We create space for spirits to stir and be stirred. From weddings to corporate parties and charity galas, we need a dedicated Events and Operations Manager to lead the Events team and maximise the commercial potential of Kensington Palace. 

This role is about communication as much as organisation. You will work to continually enhance and promote the reputation of HRP as a world class portfolio of event venues by providing event organisers, clients and guests with faultless support and facilities. 

You must be a self-starter and a quick learner with the ability to hit the ground running. Possessing the ability to work on your own initiative, you must be flexible and adaptable, with the ability to engage personably with all stake holders. Someone who can work well in a team environment, you’ll also have excellent IT, communication, and interpersonal skills.  

You’ll have proven experience of selling a venue and running events on an operational level. In-depth knowledge of the industry is essential and any knowledge of working within a heritage setting will stand you in good stead.  

Finally, you must be prepared to work flexible hours including evenings and weekends as and when the events schedule requires it. 

Benefits include: 

  • Hybrid working 
  • Enhanced holiday entitlement 
  • Overtime and time off in lieu 
  • Generous Employers Pension Contributions (up to 11%) 
  • Annual Pay reviews & Bonuses 
  • Critical Illness Cover & Life Assurance 
  • Family friendly policies and benefits 
  • Staff discounts and membership to all palaces 

Salary  - £50,630.00, plus additional allowances relating to Duty Management responsibilities

Full time (36 hours per week including evenings and weekends, as and when the events schedule requires it)

Closing date: 8th October 2024 

Interviews to be held: 21st – 25th October 2024
