Events Enterprise Manager

New Today

About The Role Westminster Abbey is a place of daily worship with a rich history spanning over a thousand years, and one of the United Kingdom’s most iconic visitor attractions, welcoming over one million visitors annually. We are seeking an experienced and commercially astute Events Enterprise Manager to play a key role in developing and delivering the Abbey’s events portfolio. This is a unique opportunity to work within a historic and high‑profile setting, balancing commercial enterprise with the dignity and mission of a living Christian church. The successful candidate will be responsible for both generating new business and delivering exceptional events, ensuring that every engagement reflects the Abbey’s values, heritage and reputation. Working Hours The full time equivalent hours are 40 hours per week. Onsite Arrangements As a working church and a major visitor attraction, being present on site allows our teams to deliver exceptional experiences and maintain the unique atmosphere of the Abbey. Working on site each day is the default expectation for all staff to promote collaboration and connection. Where a role is suited to remote working, staff may have the flexibility to work off‑site for up to 40% of their time each week, with the remainder spent at the Abbey. To keep our teams strong and responsive, roles may require presence on specific days, and we need at least half of each team to be on site from Monday to Friday. Annual Holidays The full‑time holiday entitlement is 33 days per annum, including recognised public holidays. Training On‑site training will be provided in all aspects of the job. Any further training needs will be assessed through the probation period and in annual appraisals. Staff Discount All employees receive a 20% discount on purchases from the Westminster Abbey shop and a 30% discount on purchases from the takeaway catering outlets. Pension Scheme and Life Assurance All employees can join a Group Personal Pension plan, where the minimum employee contribution is 3% and the maximum employer contribution is 9%. You will be auto‑enrolled into our qualifying workplace pension scheme after 3 months, if you meet the eligibility criteria. All employees are covered by death‑in‑service life assurance, whether or not they choose to join the pension scheme. Season Ticket Loan A season ticket loan is offered after completion of the probationary period, repayable over 10 months. Safeguarding Westminster Abbey is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults at risk. To prevent them from harm, we undertake appropriate checks (including the relevant level of criminal record check) on staff and volunteers and require them to complete relevant safeguarding training. This post requires a basic, enhanced or standard level criminal record check. About The Department The Ceremonial Events & Marketing department upholds the Abbey’s ancient tradition of hospitality, offering a range of services that support its mission and reputation. The team manages special services and protocol matters, corporate events and internal hospitality, the catering contract, offline marketing and the provision of insights to support a variety of departments, as well as the Abbey’s membership scheme. #J-18808-Ljbffr
