You'll work closely with the Marketing Manager, Marketing Executive, Marketing Assistant and the wider Business Development team to support the firm's strategic goals through expertly delivered client events, roundtables, conferences, sponsorships, receptions, webinars and networking events.
This is a role that rewards proactivity, creativity and pride in your work. The firm is growing, the events demand is increasing, and there's genuine scope to make this role your own.

- Feed into pre and post-event evaluation to support new BD opportunities
- Maintain event-related content on the firm's website and internal MBD Hub
- Partner with the Marketing Executive on external promotion and internal communications
- Lead the marketing approach for external conferences and exhibitions
- Research venues for external seminars and events
- Carry out client, competitor and market research
- Report on event performance and statistics
- Act as a brand ambassador, ensuring all event copy reflects the firm's tone and Style Guide
- Oversee branded merchandise orders with the Marketing Assistant
- Coordinate internal event requirements including catering and logistics
- Delegate and oversee event admin (name badges, Outlook inbox monitoring) via the Marketing Assistant
- Get involved in CSR initiatives, building relationships with partner charities
The Person We're Looking For

- Events experience within a legal or professional services environment is highly desirable
- Strong project management skills with excellent attention to detail
- Established stakeholder management experience
- Confident managing your own workload and prioritising effectively
- Willingness to travel to other UK offices (Birmingham and Leeds) and work outside of normal hours for event delivery
- Flexible, proactive and solutions-focused
- A strong team player with excellent written and verbal communication
- Excellent IT skills across Word, Excel and PowerPoint
- Knowledge of marketing and design tools such as Foleon, Canva, InDesign, CRM databases and email marketing platforms
- Keen to learn, grow and develop with the team
Why This One Stands Out
- Established, full-service law firm with a 150+ year heritage and strong growth trajectory
- High-profile client base spanning multinationals, housing associations, charities and Regulators
- Varied events portfolio across in-person, virtual and hybrid formats
- Genuine ownership of the firmwide events calendar
- Supportive Marketing and BD team structure with clear room to grow
- Hybrid working with flexibility built in
If you're an events-focused marketer with professional services experience, ideally from a law firm background, and you're looking for a role where you can take real ownership of the events function within a growing firm, I'd love to hear from you.
