Events Manager

Liverpool Cathedral is a world-class, Grade I listed building and one of the UK’s most distinctive large-scale events venues. As a live place of worship, heritage asset and major visitor attraction, the Cathedral delivers a highly complex programme of corporate, commercial, cultural and civic events alongside daily worship and tourism activity. From major headline grabbing art installations, to classical concerts or pop gigs to awards galas.
Events at Liverpool Cathedral operate within a high-risk, regulated environment, requiring exceptional standards of safety management, safeguarding, operational planning and professional delivery, alongside strong commercial performance.
The Events Team operates within the Cathedral’s Enterprise function as a professional events business, balancing commercial performance with the Cathedral’s mission and values. Income generated through events underpins the ongoing care, operation and activation of the Cathedral, supporting its role as a place of worship, culture, encounter and welcome.
The range of activity makes Liverpool Cathedral one of the most exciting places to work for events professionals looking for a challenging and rewarding next step.

Working under the direction of the Head of Events, the postholder is operationally accountable for the safe and sound event management planning, implementation and delivery, including but not limited to production planning, safeguarding and overall compliance for their events, and for producing and maintaining all required professional event documentation.
The role also carries significant commercial responsibility, including delivery of a minimum of £200k turnover in the first year, and plays a key role in strengthening the Cathedral’s reputation as a premium events venue.
