The College Office is looking for an experienced Events Senior Assistant Manager/Manager to own its full event portfolio, from institutional ceremonies and high-profile visits to community and cultural events and fundraising engagements.

Responsibilities:

• Own the College event calendar and standards across institutional, cultural, and fundraising events.

• Plan and deliver flagship engagements, including Visiting Committee visits and donor events, to an exacting standard.

• Manage event budgets, vendors, and on-the-day production.

• Evaluate every event and raise the bar over time.

Requirements:

Must-haves:

• A recognised university degree.

• At least 6 to 8 years' end-to-end event management experience with budget accountability.

• A track record with high-profile or VIP events and external vendors.

Good to have:

• Experience across institutional, cultural, and fundraising events.

• Higher-education, institutional, or non-profit experience.

Why join us:

• Ownership and visibility: you will own the College's entire event portfolio, working directly with senior leadership and delivering the events that shape how the College is seen by its community, its partners, and its donors.

• A clear career pathway: this role sits on NTU's Events Management track, with structured progression toward Assistant Director, Senior Assistant Director, and Director-level roles as you grow.

• Breadth that builds your career: few events roles span institutional, cultural, and philanthropic events in one portfolio, giving you an unusually rich base of experience.

• Development and support: budget and vendor ownership, cross-functional partnership with Communications and Advancement, and NTU's learning and development opportunities and staff benefits.
