Meeting & Events Executive

As a Meeting & Events Executive, you will play an important role in bringing memorable experiences to life across Radisson RED and our exciting new event space, The Rotunda.

As part of our continued expansion, the opening of The Rotunda introduces a distinctive new destination for meetings, conferences, celebrations and events. Thoughtfully designed within the character of a beautiful listed building, The Rotunda combines architectural charm with the flexibility of a contemporary event space, creating opportunities to deliver truly memorable occasions. From flagship conferences and awards ceremonies to seasonal dinners and client entertainment, every event is tailored around the client’s vision and objectives.

From the initial enquiry through to event delivery and post-event follow-up, you will take ownership of the customer journey, ensuring every detail is carefully planned and every commercial opportunity maximised.

Working closely with the Wedding, Meeting & Events Manager and wider hotel operations teams, you will manage a varied portfolio of weddings, corporate meetings, conferences, banqueting and social events. You’ll combine excellent organisational skills with a proactive, sales-focused approach, building strong client relationships and ensuring both Radisson RED and The Rotunda deliver exceptional experiences.
