Hello. Ever wanted to be part of an award winning Internal Communications and Events team, taking the lead on our amazing, experiential programme of events?

Our people are what makes Severn Trent a truly exciting and inclusive place to work. We’re a team of nearly 10,000 people with a purpose to deliver one of life’s essentials. We do it all while thriving in our unique culture and making a lasting difference to our planet, society, and careers. Which is why we’re so thrilled to have a job where you can bring all of the brilliant work we do and the common purpose we have to life! 

If you want to do more because you care, we’d love to talk to you. There really is something for everyone here. 

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

We’re looking for someone to join our team on a 12-month contract as our Events Manager. This bespoke role will work across Severn Trent (and externally) to create an over-arching ‘events experience’. We’re looking for a creative and logistics superstar, who can both develop our internal events strategy and get hands on when it comes to coordination and delivery. As a business, we’ve got loads of exciting things on the horizon and we need an inspiring and engaging events strategy that supports our ambitious goals.

Working with senior stakeholders and our communication team, it will be your job to deliver and developing an exciting programme of events from in-person touchpoints to virtual gatherings, that deliver against our agreed milestones and engage multiple targeted audiences. In addition, you’ll bring your extensive knowledge and expertise when it comes to sharing best practice and coming up with new and innovative events and campaigns.

Other key accountabilities in the role include: -

• Create and deliver a wide range of face-to-face and digital events for the business – primarily internal, but working with other areas of the business on external activities as required.
• Manage and create engaging content for our Senior Leadership team events, Business Leader events, STEC Roadshows and our annual Leadership and recognition events.
• Support our AGM, Results presentations and any other internal or external strategic ad hoc events.
• Manage suppliers and content owners and handle all key logistics for events.
• Define a robust event strategy for the year ensuring stakeholder engagement with all business leads and collaboration with the wider Communications team and their individual comms plans

WHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE ROLE 

The right skills and experience are important. But if you have the right character, positivity and a caring attitude we want to talk to you, too.

We’ll be looking for you to be experienced in developing and delivering against an ambitious strategy, have strong team leadership skills and proven expertise in shaping engagement moments that deliver maximum impact to their audience.   We’ll want you to have effectively worked in large complex organisations (we are a FTSE100 business after all), delivering across multiple projects and events.

You’ll need to be a polished communicator, experienced at speaking to an array of senior internal and external stakeholders. It would also be great if you have an innovative, creative approach and an ability to work in a collaborative environment.

We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate individuality as we know diverse minds, experiences and backgrounds help us to learn and better serve our communities. We want people who show up and get involved. Those who are ready to be part of something bigger and who want to make a difference because they care.

Is that you?
