Gala Event Manager
Lead the strategy and delivery of one of the UK's most successful charity fundraising events.
Are you an experienced event manager ready to take strategic ownership of a flagship fundraising event with an established reputation and a seven-figure impact?
Womankind Worldwide is looking for an ambitious and experienced Event Manager to lead our International Women's Day Gala - a prestigious event that brings together more than 400 leaders from the worlds of finance, law and business and raises over £1.2 million each year to support women's rights organisations and movements.
This is far more than an event delivery role. You'll take strategic ownership of the Gala, leading its planning, delivery and future development. Working closely with our volunteer Gala Committee, sponsors, donors, suppliers and senior colleagues, you'll identify opportunities to grow income, strengthen partnerships, enhance the guest experience and ensure the Gala continues to evolve and thrive.
