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
Vendor Selection & NegotiationNo authority. You'll process invoices for pre-selected vendors.

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
How accurate your event registration lists and attendee data entries are.
Target · 98%+ accuracy on all data entry tasks

If you're managing a list of 500 attendees, we'd expect no more than 10 errors in names, emails, or company details. We'll run a quick check after each major registration push.

Vendor Payment Timeliness
Making sure all event-related invoices and payments for your assigned vendors are processed before their due dates.
Target · 100% of assigned vendor payments processed on time

You've got three catering invoices and two AV deposits to process this month. All of them need to be submitted to Finance and approved before their payment deadlines, avoiding any late fees or supplier issues.

Speaker & Guest Logistics Completion
The percentage of speaker travel, accommodation, and pre-event communication tasks completed accurately and on schedule.
Target · 95%+ completion rate for all assigned speaker logistics tasks

For a summit with 20 speakers, you're responsible for booking flights for 5 of them and confirming hotel rooms for 10. We'll check that all bookings are correct and confirmed a week before the event.

Attendee Query Resolution Time
How quickly you respond to and resolve basic attendee questions coming into the general event inbox.
Target · Respond to 90% of basic queries within 24 hours

If someone asks about the venue address or Wi-Fi details, you should get back to them promptly. We're not talking complex problem-solving here, just quick, helpful replies.

Proactive Support & Initiative
You're not just waiting to be told what to do; you're looking for ways to help out and anticipating what the team might need next.
  • You'll offer to help a colleague with a task without being asked, spot a potential issue before it becomes a problem (e.g., 'I noticed we haven't confirmed the AV for Room 3'), or suggest a small improvement to a process. Your manager will often say, 'Thanks for thinking of that!'
Learning & Application
How quickly you pick up new processes, tools, and event management best practices, and then apply them to your work.
  • You'll ask thoughtful questions during training, take notes, and then successfully complete tasks independently after being shown once or twice. You'll bring up things you've learned from one event to improve the next. Your manager won't have to repeat instructions often.
Team Collaboration & Communication
How well you work with the rest of the events team, sharing information clearly and being a helpful colleague.
  • You'll keep your team updated on your progress, flag any roadblocks early, and offer to lend a hand when others are swamped. Colleagues will say you're easy to work with and that you communicate clearly, especially when things get busy.
Attention to Detail
Consistently catching small errors and making sure the little things are right, which actually makes a huge difference.
  • You'll spot typos in event emails before they go out, notice a conflicting time in the schedule, or double-check a speaker's dietary requirements. Your work won't need much correction from your manager, showing you've taken the time to review it properly.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Learning & Development

You'll actively seek out feedback on your work, ask questions about processes, and show genuine interest in understanding the 'why' behind tasks. You'll be keen to take on new responsibilities to expand your skillset.

After helping with event registration, you'll ask how the data is used for reporting, or how we choose our event platforms, showing you want to learn beyond just the task at hand.

Contributing to a Team Goal

You'll feel a real sense of satisfaction when an event you've supported goes well. You'll enjoy working closely with others, knowing your efforts are a crucial part of a bigger picture.

Seeing attendees enjoy an event you helped organise, or hearing positive feedback about a speaker you coordinated, will genuinely make your day.

Seeing Tangible Results

You'll get a kick out of seeing your work come to life – from a completed registration page to a perfectly set-up event room. You like tasks with a clear beginning and end.

The satisfaction of ticking off all the items on a pre-event checklist, or watching an event you've worked on actually happen, will be a big driver for you.

What frustrates people
  • Dealing with messy, incomplete data that needs cleaning up before you can use it.
  • Having to chase people (speakers, vendors, internal teams) for information or approvals repeatedly.
  • Last-minute changes to event agendas or logistics that mean redoing work you've already completed.
  • Feeling like your contribution is 'just' administrative, even though it's essential.
  • The sheer volume of small, fiddly tasks that need to be managed simultaneously.
What this role does not give you
  • Significant strategic decision-making or budget ownership (not yet, anyway).
  • A quiet, predictable, or highly structured work environment.
  • The ability to see every single piece of your work make it to a grand, public launch.
  • Lots of independent creative control over event themes or content.

6Who you work with

This role directly impacts the smooth execution of our regional innovation events. When done well, it ensures that our events are organised, professional, and deliver a positive experience for all participants, which in turn helps to build our brand and foster a vibrant innovation ecosystem. Poor execution, however, can lead to reputational damage, frustrated attendees, and wasted resources, undermining our strategic innovation objectives.

Inside the business
  • Innovation Events Team (Specialists, Producers)
  • Regional Marketing Team
  • Finance Operations (for payments)
  • Internal Comms Team
Outside the business
  • Event Attendees (for queries)
  • Speakers (for logistics)
  • Basic Event Vendors (catering, AV, venues)
  • Sponsors (for basic information sharing)

7What you need before you start

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

  • Proven ability to manage multiple tasks and prioritise effectively in a busy environment (could be from a previous job, university, or even volunteering).
  • Experience using common office software (like Excel, Word, PowerPoint) to a good standard.
  • A track record of being reliable, organised, and having a keen eye for detail.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a professional and friendly approach.
  • A genuine interest in technology, innovation, or event management. We want someone who's excited to be here!

8What to practise next

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

Advanced Event Platform Configuration

You'll need to move beyond just using templates to actually configuring event pages, registration paths, and even basic event apps yourself. This is important within 12 months as you take on more ownership.

Conditional Logic in Forms · Email Automation Sequences · Basic API Integrations (Conceptual) · Custom Reporting

  • This week: Ask your Specialist to show you how they build a new event page from scratch.
  • This month: Take ownership of configuring a small webinar or meetup page end-to-end.
  • Month 2: Explore the advanced features of Cvent/Bizzabo's reporting suite.
  • Month 3: Shadow your Specialist during a platform integration discussion to understand the concepts.

Quick win: Offer to build a specific, non-standard report for your Specialist next time they need one.

CRM System Optimisation (Basic)

Understanding how our CRM (Salesforce/HubSpot) works beyond just data entry is crucial for tracking relationships with speakers, partners, and sponsors. This is important within 12-18 months.

Lead & Contact Management · Campaign Tracking · Custom Fields & Objects (Conceptual) · Basic Dashboard Creation

  • This week: Spend an hour exploring the different sections of Salesforce/HubSpot beyond just contact records.
  • This month: Ask the Marketing team how they use the CRM for campaign tracking.
  • Month 2: Try to build a simple report in the CRM that tracks event-related activities.
  • Month 3: Propose one small improvement to how we use the CRM for event data.

Quick win: Make sure every interaction you have with a speaker or partner is logged accurately in the CRM.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Attend industry webinars and online courses on event technology and logistics.
  • Volunteer at local industry events to gain more hands-on experience.
  • Join relevant professional associations (e.g., MPI, PCMA) for networking and learning.
  • Seek out mentorship opportunities from more experienced event professionals.
  • Regularly read industry publications and blogs to stay up-to-date on trends.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: AI-Assisted Task Management

AI tools are getting better at helping with repetitive tasks, from drafting emails to summarising information. Those who can use these tools effectively will be far more productive and free up time for more interesting work. It's critical within 6 months—this isn't 'future' anymore, it's now.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

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 Innovation Events 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:

One to one, not one to many

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, event coordination involves a lot of repetitive tasks and chasing people. What if you could offload some of that grunt work to an intelligent assistant? Our team is already using AI to make life easier, and you'll be encouraged to jump right in.

We're not talking about robots taking over your job. Instead, think of AI as your super-efficient personal assistant, handling the tedious bits so you can focus on learning, problem-solving, and making our events truly special. You'll be using these tools from day one to boost your productivity.

Automated Logistics Drafts

Use AI to draft personalised emails for speaker outreach, sponsor updates, and attendee reminders. It can even suggest follow-up messages based on previous interactions, saving you loads of typing time.

Quick Data Insights

Instead of manually sifting through registration numbers, use AI to quickly summarise trends from pre-built dashboards. Spot patterns in attendee demographics or engagement metrics without building complex reports from scratch.

Smart Research Assistant

Need to find a quick fact about an industry trend or a potential speaker's background? AI tools can rapidly pull together summaries from various sources, giving you the info you need without hours of searching.

Content Creation Helper

Get AI to generate first drafts of short event descriptions, social media posts, or internal team updates. You'll provide the key points, and it'll give you a starting point to polish, saving you from staring at a blank page.

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 Innovation Events 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 17 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 Innovation Events 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.

15Where to go from here

Other roles at Level 2

Same depth of qualification, different job. Useful if the work appeals but this particular role does not.

Other roles in Innovation Intrapreneurship

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain here—event management, project coordination, stakeholder engagement, and understanding innovation ecosystems—are highly transferable. You could move into broader marketing roles, project management, corporate communications, or even specialise in community building or venture scouting within the innovation space. The events industry itself offers many diverse paths, from agency work to in-house roles at other large corporations or tech companies.
