Company mission
To become the most recommended financial services business in the UK.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of experience in B2B events or experiential marketing – ideally within a B2B start-up environment
- Experience managing budgets and contracts with third-party suppliers
- Strong project management skills – confident juggling multiple events at once and keeping everything (and everyone) on track
- An eye for detail that borders on obsessive – you’ll notice if the t-shirts clash with the tablecloths or if the font on an invite feels off
- A love of creating brilliant experiences, not just ticking boxes – you’re the kind of person who’ll debate the drinks list if it feels off-brand
- Calm under pressure – whether it’s a speaker dropping out or a last-minute tech fail, you don’t flap
What the job involves
- We’re looking for an Events Manager to lead the way we show up in the real world – from major trade conferences to more intimate private dinners. You’ll own and execute our events programme – primarily focused on B2B partnerships – creating standout experiences that raise awareness, build relationships and help us grow
- You’ll report to the Senior B2B Marketing Manager and work closely with our sales, licensing and partnerships teams to bring our brand to life across industry events and our own activations. You’ll be hands-on in planning and execution, but you’ll also shape our events strategy and define what world-class looks like for our stage presence. This is not just logistics – it’s brand building. You’ll care as much about the lighting and the lanyards as you do the lead numbers
- Own our full events programme – from flagship conferences and speaking slots to intimate partner events
- Manage every detail of event delivery – including complex logistics, vendor coordination and timelines that leave nothing to chance
- Continuously find smarter, faster and more efficient ways to handle event logistics, minimising duplication and streamlining processes between Octopus teams and businesses
- Create concepts for every live experience that delivers on our business objectives and feels true to our brand
- Work with our creative team to bring every detail to life – from stand design to giveaways
- Build and maintain strong supplier relationships
- Set and track success metrics, including attendance, engagement and lead conversion – and iterate based on what works
- Keep your ear to the ground for new opportunities – new formats, new venues, or just new ways to surprise and delight
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Money shapes every part of life. Yet most people never get the support they need: Half of Brits reach retirement age without enough to live the the life they want, financial stress is a leading cause of poor mental health, only 8% of people have access to 1-to-1 financial advice. There's no shortage of information and what people actually need is clarity, guidance and a plan that makes sense to them.
That's where Octopus Money comes in. They bring together financial planning, investment expertise and smart technology so people can understand their options and take action with confidence.
They help build a clear plan for their savings, investments and pensions and make investing simple with managed portfolios built by experts. On top of this, they also support employers who want their teams to feel more secure and comfortable. So while some people may need regulated advice, others coaching, or both, their service adapts to every use case.
