Are you an experienced events professional with a passion for delivering high-impact events that strengthen brand, relationships and engagement?
We’re looking for an Events & Partnerships Officer to support the delivery of a diverse and strategically focused events portfolio at Leeds Beckett University. This is an important role within the Stakeholder Engagement & Events team, contributing to the delivery of purpose-driven, high-quality events aligned with the University’s brand, reputation and strategic objectives.
In this role, you will support the planning and delivery of a broad programme of events that underpin the University’s strategic priorities. This includes contributing to large-scale, high-profile events such as graduation ceremonies, alongside a varied portfolio of stakeholder, partnership, city and community events. You will help ensure each event is designed to tell the University’s story, showcase its strengths and create positive, memorable experiences for students, prospective students, partners, staff and wider audiences.
You will work closely with the Events Manager, colleagues across the University and external suppliers to coordinate event planning, logistics, hospitality, guest management, budgets and risk assessments. Strong organisational and project coordination skills are essential, as you will support the delivery of multiple events simultaneously, often to tight deadlines, in a fast-paced environment.
A key aspect of the role is managing event administration and communications. This includes preparing and managing guest lists, drafting and sending invitations and event communications, producing promotional copy and collateral, and utilising event technology and data systems to enhance the participant experience and maximise attendance. Accuracy and attention to detail are particularly important when working with student data for graduation ceremonies and other high-profile events.
Working closely with colleagues across marketing, communications, recruitment and academic services, you will help ensure events are effectively promoted, consistently branded and aligned with audience needs and strategic outcomes. You will also contribute to post-event evaluation and continuous improvement, helping to demonstrate the value of events in enhancing reputation and strengthening partnerships.
At Leeds Beckett, we value diverse perspectives and offer generous annual leave and strong support for professional development. Join a collaborative team committed to delivering outstanding events that bring the University’s strategy to life and create lasting impact.
