Newton’s growth is strong. We are now upwards of 700 people in the UK, and during 2026 we launched offices in the US and Australia. We are now looking for an experienced Event Manager to join our growing event team.
This is a hands-on delivery role reporting to the Head of Internal Events. You will work side by side not only with the events team, but also with our internal communications and engagement colleagues too, and because events matter to us, you will also build close relationships with key people across the business, from our newest graduate joiners to our Senior Partners.
You are joining at an exciting time. UK growth and international expansion mean we are challenging ourselves to make sure our events programme delivers both employee engagement and connection, and helps our teams deliver ever greater client impact.
Our fortnightly Review Days bring people from every grade and Cluster together to tackle our toughest client challenges. Our flagship events – Strategy Day, Activity Day, Charity Day, Christmas Party and Summer Weekend – build the relationships, belonging and energy that make Newton work. Together they give our people a reason to prioritise being in the same room, and they give our clients better delivery as a result.
We are redesigning that programme for 2027 for a bigger, more international business: in-country Review Days, a global Strategy Day, a clearer governance model and events that scale by design. You will bring creativity, structure and rigour to how we scale our events and keep the employee experience consistent.
Your remit will be varied. You will own some events from first idea to post-event review, guide and support our colleagues overseas (remotely from the UK), and for our larger flagship events, form a key part of an integrated team so that every detail is thought about and delivered. You will be excited by detail and plans, confident with budgets and financial value, and creative in how you deliver memorable moments that reflect our values and expectations.
