You'll be the backbone, making sure all the little details for our corporate events and internal messages are spot on. Think of it as being the engine room for everything from small team gatherings to company-wide announcements. You'll work closely with the Events & Communications Specialist, helping them bring our plans to life and making sure our colleagues feel connected and informed.

Tracking budgets in provided templates, managing simple lists (e.g., swag inventory), and basic data sorting.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing inWhere you are nowThe step above
Event Content ApprovalDraft content using templates, submit for full review and approval by manager.Draft content, propose changes, seek manager's approval for final version.Approve routine content, consult with manager on sensitive or high-impact communications.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Registration Data Accuracy
The percentage of event registration entries that are correct and complete, without manual errors.
Target · 98% accuracy

For an event with 200 attendees, you'd aim for no more than 4 errors in names, dietary requirements, or contact details. If you manage 198 correct entries, that's 99%.

On-Time Comms Delivery
The percentage of internal communications (e.g., newsletters, event invites) that are scheduled and sent according to the agreed timeline.
Target · 95% on schedule

If there are 20 scheduled communications in a month, you'd ensure at least 19 go out exactly when they're supposed to. That one missed deadline? We'll learn from it, but it shouldn't be a regular thing.

Event Material Readiness
The proportion of event-specific materials (e.g., badges, welcome packs, presentation printouts) that are prepared, checked, and ready for use at least 24 hours before the event starts.
Target · 100% readiness

Before the quarterly all-hands, all 300 name badges, 50 printed agendas, and 20 speaker bios are printed, sorted, and double-checked by Tuesday afternoon for a Wednesday morning event.

Budget Tracking Adherence
How accurately you track and reconcile expenses against the allocated budget for specific tasks or small projects you're assigned.
Target · Within 2% variance

If you're tracking a £500 catering budget for a team lunch, your actual spend and recorded expenses should be between £490 and £510. No surprise £100 invoices appearing out of nowhere!

Proactive Issue Identification
You're not just waiting for problems to happen; you're spotting potential issues early and flagging them to your manager.
  • You'll say things like, 'I noticed the venue contract mentions a late fee for AV setup after 5 PM, but our tech rehearsal is scheduled for 6 PM – should I flag this?' or 'The speaker hasn't sent their slides yet, and it's 24 hours to go, should I chase them?'
Learning & Adaptability
Your willingness to learn new tools, processes, and adapt to changing priorities without getting flustered.
  • You'll ask thoughtful questions, take notes, and apply feedback quickly. When a plan changes last minute (and it will), you'll pivot without complaint and focus on what needs doing next, rather than dwelling on the old plan.
Team Collaboration & Support
How well you work with the rest of the team, offering help when you can and being a positive presence.
  • You'll offer to help a colleague if you finish your tasks early, you'll share information clearly, and you'll be easy to work with. People will enjoy having you on their project because you're helpful and reliable.
Brand & Tone Adherence
Ensuring all communications and event materials you prepare stick to our company's brand guidelines and tone of voice.
  • Your drafted emails won't have typos, the colours in your PowerPoint slides will match our brand guide, and the language will sound like 'us' – professional but approachable. No rogue fonts or off-brand imagery, please!

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Learning & Skill Development

You'll be excited to learn new software, understand event logistics from the ground up, and get a feel for how internal communications shape company culture. You'll ask 'why' a lot, which we love.

You're keen to shadow a colleague during an event setup, asking questions about why certain decisions were made, or you're eager to get trained on a new comms platform to help with email distribution.

Contributing to a Positive Employee Experience

You'll get a real kick out of seeing colleagues enjoy an event you helped organise, or knowing that a clear communication you drafted helped someone understand an important update. You care about making things better for people.

After an all-hands meeting, you hear someone say how much they appreciated the clear agenda you helped put together, or you see positive comments in a post-event survey about the smooth registration process you managed.

Being Part of a Team & Seeing Tangible Results

You enjoy working alongside others, supporting their efforts, and seeing the direct outcome of your collective work—a successful event, a well-received newsletter. You're happy to be a key cog in the machine.

You feel a sense of accomplishment after an event wraps up, knowing all the small tasks you completed contributed to its success, or you see the high open rates on an internal email you helped get out the door.

What frustrates people
  • Doing repetitive tasks like updating spreadsheets or managing registration lists for hours.
  • Having your carefully prepared content changed at the very last minute by someone senior.
  • Chasing people for information or approvals, which can feel like herding cats.
  • Being seen as 'just the event planner' rather than a strategic contributor, even though you know the details matter.
  • Dealing with technical glitches during events that are completely out of your control.
  • Working on something for ages only for it to be cancelled or drastically changed.
What this role does not give you
  • Full creative control over event themes or communication strategies (not yet, anyway).
  • Significant budget ownership or decision-making authority.
  • A purely strategic role with no hands-on execution.
  • A predictable, unchanging daily routine (things can shift quickly!).

6Who you work with

This role directly supports the smooth execution of internal events and communications, which in turn helps keep our employees engaged, informed, and aligned with company goals. You're helping to build a positive company culture, one well-organised event and clear message at a time. Get it right, and you’re making a real difference to how people feel about working here.

Inside the business
  • Events & Communications Specialist (your direct manager)
  • Wider Events & Internal Comms Team
  • HR Team (for employee events and announcements)
  • Marketing Team (for brand guidelines and content support)
  • IT Support (for event tech and platform issues)
Outside the business
  • Venue staff (under supervision)
  • Catering teams (under supervision)
  • AV technicians (under supervision)
  • Swag suppliers

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • A genuine 'can-do' attitude and a willingness to learn from scratch.
  • Excellent organisational skills – you're naturally tidy and good at keeping track of things.
  • Solid written and verbal communication skills; you can get your point across clearly.
  • Comfortable with basic office software (like Microsoft Office or Google Workspace).
  • Ability to work effectively both independently on assigned tasks and as part of a team.
  • A keen eye for detail – you're the person who spots the typo everyone else missed.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced Event Platform Utilisation (Cvent/Bizzabo)

You'll move beyond just using templates to customising event pages, setting up more complex registration paths, and understanding how to pull more detailed reports. This means you can handle more intricate event setups.

Custom Page Design · Conditional Logic · Reporting & Dashboards

  • This quarter: Explore the 'advanced features' sections of Cvent/Bizzabo's help guides.
  • Next quarter: Ask your manager to show you how they set up a more complex event registration flow.
  • Month 3-6: Take an online course on advanced features of your primary event platform.

Quick win: Offer to take on a task that involves a slightly more complex report or a small customisation on an event page. Your manager will appreciate the initiative.

Internal Comms Platform Optimisation (Poppulo/Simpplr)

You'll learn how to segment audiences more effectively, understand A/B testing for subject lines, and interpret engagement analytics to make comms more impactful. It's about getting our messages seen and acted upon.

Audience Segmentation · A/B Testing Basics · Engagement Metrics

  • This quarter: Ask your manager to walk you through the analytics dashboard for a recent internal comms send.
  • Next quarter: Read articles on 'how to improve internal email open rates'.
  • Month 3-6: Propose a small A/B test for a non-critical internal email (e.g., two different subject lines for a team update).

Quick win: Start thinking about who you're sending each message to and if the content is truly relevant for them. That's the first step to segmentation.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Attending industry webinars or virtual conferences on event technology or internal communications trends.
  • Joining relevant online communities or forums to learn from other professionals.
  • Taking short online courses on specific tools like advanced Excel or Canva design.
  • Reading industry blogs and publications to stay up-to-date with best practices.
  • Seeking out opportunities to shadow colleagues on different projects to broaden your experience.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Events & Communications Coordinator is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

No two people run this the same way

A course is written once and handed to everyone. This is assembled around you, and keeps changing as it learns you. Five things it reads, and what each one changes.

  1. Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
  2. What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
  3. The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
  4. How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
  5. Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

See how you learn, free. Eight questions, no sign-up. A directional taster; the diagnostic inside Zavmo goes deeper and keeps adapting.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a lot of the day-to-day in Events & Internal Comms involves repetitive tasks—drafting emails, sifting through feedback, finding venues. But what if you could cut down on that busywork and focus on the more interesting stuff? That's where AI comes in. It's not about replacing you; it's about making you seriously more efficient.

We're building an 'AI Productivity Hub' specifically for our Events_Experiential_Marketing team. Think of it as your personal assistant for all those tasks that eat up your time. As an Events & Communications Coordinator, you'll get to use these smart tools to speed up your work, learn faster, and ultimately, make a bigger impact. We want you to be at the forefront of using these tools, not just hearing about them.

The Draft Dominator

Use generative AI to create first drafts of event invitations, reminder emails, post-event thank you notes, and intranet articles. Just give it a few bullet points, and it'll handle the boilerplate language, saving you loads of time on initial writing. You can then focus on adding your unique touch.

The Sentiment Sleuth

Got a mountain of open-ended survey responses from an event, or a busy Slack channel? Feed them into an AI tool for instant sentiment analysis. It'll quickly identify key themes, positive feedback, and areas of frustration without you having to manually read through hundreds of comments. Super helpful for post-event reports!

The Venue Virtuoso

When you're researching potential venues for a small team offsite or a training session, use AI-powered tools to quickly shortlist options based on your criteria. Tell it 'seats 50, has natural light, good coffee, and near a tube station,' and it'll give you a starting list, saving you hours of searching.

The Personalisation Pro

Help craft more relevant internal communications by using AI to suggest how to tailor messages for different employee groups. For example, it can help you rephrase a company update so it resonates better with a sales team versus an engineering team. It's about making comms feel more personal, even at scale.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows an Events & Communications Coordinator, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 10 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming an Events & Communications Coordinator: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.

A private tutor in the UK averages £35–40 an hour . Zavmo is £70/month.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain in this role—project management, communication, stakeholder engagement, and event logistics—are highly transferable.
