Events Manager

Development Department

The Royal Academy of Arts is one of the UK’s leading arts institutions, dedicated to the making, exhibiting and debating of art. We now have an exciting opportunity for an exceptional individual to join the Events Team.

The Royal Academy’s Events Team organises a very busy programme throughout the year of over 200 fundraising, internal and corporate events. This role will predominantly work on the many corporate events that are booked in throughout the year by the Royal Academy’s corporate members and sponsors for entertaining around our exhibition programme.

The successful candidate will possess at least 2 years’ event organisation experience – ideally corporate event management experience in a venue environment. Resourceful, energetic and well presented, they will be supremely organised, with razor sharp attention to detail. Most importantly they will demonstrate a warm, friendly and engaging manner. A strong team player, they will have a flexible approach to working extended hours to cover breakfast, evening events and occasional weekends.
The work will entail a significant amount of self-administration, answering enquiries about events, managing mailings, and greeting guests at events. The successful candidate will need strong interpersonal and IT skills, and be able to demonstrate a genuine interest in the visual arts.
