Job Description: Coach Core is growing quickly, and we’re now at a point where we need to our first dedicated events manager. As a charity that is closely aligned with sport, we punch well above our weight with events. We have an audience that is receptive and engaged with taking part in challenge events and also keen to initiate sports-focused events that can support Coach Core.

Challenge events not only enable people to raise amazing sums for Coach Core, but are also a fantastic way to engage supporters with our work, giving them the opportunity to step outside their comfort zones and achieve things they never thought possible - similar to our work with the young people on our programmes.

The role takes responsibility for the planning, marketing and delivering the TCS London Marathon and our wider Challenge events programme. We have a number of ‘own brand’ events, including Sports Day, Winter Sports Day, Golf Day, and National Three Peaks Challenge. This is a varied position which would be perfect for somebody who has event management and experience in stewarding event participants, supporting them to achieve their fundraising targets.

You will be responsible for the full event cycle, from the initial planning, participant recruitment and stewardship to on the day event delivery and post-event follow-ups.

This role works closely with the Corporate Partnership Manager, who is highly experienced in delivering our challenge events, but needs time to develop new corporate partnerships, which is why we have created this new role.

If you’re motivated by purposeful work, enjoy collaborating across teams and partners, and want the opportunity to make a genuine difference to how an organisation tells its story, we’d love to hear from you.
