We're recruiting an Events Manager

We're sad to report that our super-dooper events manager is leaving Confidential due to unforeseen family commitments. However, it means that there's an excellent opportunity for an experienced events professional to fill her place.

We're welcoming new applications and applications from people who applied previously – just resend your CV and covering letter and we'll consider it afresh.

Manchester Confidential has put on some stellar events over the last year or so – sell-out nights at Stock, a boozy barge party for our Heroes, and a trip out to Stockley Farm for the opening night of the The Travelling Field Kitchen, to name a few.

Our readers like them so we're in the middle of planning more, including some bigger, high profile occasions as well as smaller 'off-the-wall' gatherings. And we want an efficient, pro-active individual with experience of managing events to make sure they go down a storm.

You'll be involved in all aspects of planning and delivering our events – from developing the initial idea, to overseeing the marketing, to liaising with suppliers and guests, to making sure it all runs smoothly on the night, and gathering feedback afterwards.

You'll have support from our Account Management team but you'll be taking the lead. It follows that you'll need a significant track record of delivering events and the confidence to pick up the role and run with it.

It's a part-time position – 2.5 days a week at the outset. Pay is competitive and will depend on your experience.

It's a chance to make your mark in an ambitious and expanding social media company based in Manchester city centre. If you enjoy all aspects of events management – from coming up with the big ideas to overseeing the tiny details – we want to hear from you.

To apply, email your covering letter and CV to careers@manchesterconfidential .com, stating that your application is for the Events Manager position. Deadline for applications: 31st January 2011. NO AGENCIES PLEASE
