Head of Events – Premium Meeting Rooms & Events Venue
King’s Cross | Monday–Friday | Growth Opportunity

Hired-Hospitality is proud to partner with a design-led, privately owned hospitality and events group in King’s Cross to appoint an exceptional Head of Events for one of the area’s most versatile and sought-after meeting and events venues.

This is a standout leadership opportunity within a creative, multi-site hospitality business spanning boutique hotels, restaurants, and distinctive event spaces — each known for individuality, quality, and memorable guest experiences.

The King’s Cross venue features multiple contemporary meeting rooms, a large studio-style events space, and a rooftop terrace, hosting everything from high-profile corporate gatherings and brand events to private celebrations and executive meetings.

We are seeking a commercially driven, relationship-focused Head of Events to lead sales performance, elevate client experience, and inspire a small, high-performing events team.

You’ll bring strong market credibility from a premium hotel, conference, or events environment and combine strategic sales leadership with hands-on operational excellence.

As Head of Events:

You will own the commercial and operational success of the venue — driving revenue, building key corporate relationships, and ensuring flawless event delivery.

You’ll lead from the front: converting enquiries, hosting clients, developing proactive sales pipelines, and collaborating closely with hospitality operations to deliver exceptional experiences.

Key responsibilities

• Lead and convert reactive and proactive event sales
• Build and maintain high-value corporate client relationships
• Drive revenue strategy and performance vs. market
• Oversee planning and execution of all events
• Inspire, mentor, and develop the events team
• Host site visits and represent the venue at networking events
• Analyse performance and produce sales reporting
• Ensure operational excellence across all event spaces
• Collaborate seamlessly with wider hospitality teams

About you

• Proven Head of Events / Senior Events Manager from premium venue or hotel
• Strong corporate events and M&E sales background
• Commercially astute with excellent conversion track record
• Natural relationship builder and confident communicator
• Hands-on leader with high standards and attention to detail
• Highly organised and thrives in a fast-paced environment
• Experience with Guestline/Rezlynx is beneficial but not essential.

Just some of our benefits:

• Competitive salary + performance bonus
• Clear career growth and development opportunities
• A great work-life balance - Monday to Friday
• Generous staff dining discounts across the group
• Supportive, inclusive team culture
• Wellbeing initiatives to support you inside and outside work
• Regular rewards, incentives, and team celebrations
• Have your ideas heard and make a real impact
• Work in an environment that lives and breathes hospitality
