About the role
At IOSH, we’re on a mission to raise standards across the health and safety profession. Events are a huge part of how we do that. We’re looking for a Senior Events Manager to lead on global conferences and professional development (CPD) events for our regional and industry, volunteer-led, communities.
This isn’t just about logistics and checklists. By creating high-quality learning experiences, you’ll help our members champion workplace safety and health. When this is done right, it quite literally saves lives. Your work will ensure our global membership stays informed, engaged, and equipped to keep people safe at work every single day.
What You'll be doing
Building the programme: You’ll design a diverse range of events—in-person, virtual, and on-demand – that meet the high standards our members expect.
Working with experts: You’ll collaborate with volunteers, internal teams, and external partners to turn technical expertise into engaging, life-saving sessions.
Spotting trends: You’ll keep an eye on industry shifts and competitor offers to make sure our events stay relevant, unique, and valuable.
Staying on track: You’ll take the lead on making sure every event is delivered on time, within budget, and to a high professional standard.
Improving how we work: You’ll find smart ways to streamline our event delivery while keeping a firm focus on quality and results.

We’re looking for someone who is organised, calm under pressure, and great with people. To do well in this role, you’ll need:
Event and CPD expertise: You have a proven track record in end-to-end event management, specifically within professional development or membership environments.
Strong project management: You’re highly organised and capable of juggling multiple timelines and budgets with precision.
Great communication: You can build strong relationships with everyone from senior leaders and external agencies to our dedicated volunteers.
Digital confidence: You understand how to make virtual and on-demand learning just as impactful as a live conference.
A knack for problem-solving: You’re always looking for ways to differentiate what we offer and ensure our events support IOSH’s wider goals.
An analytical mind: You don’t just deliver; you look at the data to prove the value of our events and refine our strategy for the future.
Membership of, or working towards membership of, a relevant professional body is desirable.
