We’re a small, bespoke corporate events agency, and we’re looking for an Event Manager to join us on an ongoing monthly retainer — this is a continuing role with us, not one-off freelance project work.
We organise events across the UK and Europe for 15–150 guests — team meetings, incentive events and company off-sites — and pride ourselves on the personal service that keeps our clients coming back. We’re unusual in that we rarely go on-site ourselves; instead we set our clients up to run their events successfully themselves.
This role is remote and open to UK-based candidates only — you’ll need to be currently based in, and eligible to work in, the UK. Travel is limited: most of the role is supporting clients remotely, with occasional on-site support and FAM trips.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Working on a monthly retainer of approximately 12–15 hours per week, and under the guidance of the Director, you’ll manage the delivery of events from client brief through to supporting clients while they run their events on-site.
The initial arrangement is a three-month trial, moving to a long-term, ongoing retainer with one month’s notice either side once that’s complete.
Key Responsibilities
- Manage events from brief through to delivery
- Client management and contact throughout
- Research hotels, venues and suppliers (UK and international)
- Prepare proposals and budgets, and manage budgets across various currencies
- Produce detailed event documentation (running orders, budgets)
- Negotiate and manage suppliers
- Post-event wrap-up
- Assist with social media ideas alongside our Social Media Manager
- Support other team members at busy times
- Maintain relationships with existing and former clients
