Events & Hire Manager

Burgh House is seeking an experienced, creative and commercially minded Events & Hire Manager to lead our events, venue hire and filming activity at our Grade I Listed historic house in Hampstead.

Events and venue hire are an important source of income for Burgh House. Working closely with the Events & Hire Coordinator, you will oversee enquiries, bookings and delivery across a varied programme including weddings, celebrations of life, private and corporate events, gallery hire and filming.

You will be responsible for developing this activity, achieving agreed income targets and identifying new opportunities, partnerships and audiences. You will manage client relationships, pricing, budgets and reporting, while ensuring events are delivered to a high standard and in keeping with Burgh House’s heritage and charitable purpose.

You will line-manage the Events & Hire Coordinator and oversee our team of Events Supervisors, ensuring events are properly staffed, well organised and delivered safely. You will work closely with colleagues across Burgh House, including the curatorial and operations teams, as well as our caf and catering operator.

This is a hands-on role with considerable autonomy. We are looking for someone with experience in events, venue hire or hospitality, strong organisational and communication skills, commercial awareness and a proven ability to build relationships and generate income.

The successful candidate will be proactive, practical and solutions-focused, with the confidence to develop new ideas while working collaboratively within a small team.
