Event Manager

About Huddle

We run retreats, offsites, and other team building events for fast-growing startups.

We help them craft experiences that bring people together and strengthen their culture. Most recently, we’ve run events in the UK, Spain, Canada, and Costa Rica.

We're a small, remote-first team, still at a very early stage of our journey. There’s currently just two of us, and we’re building the plane as we fly it. If that sounds fun rather than alarming, you might fit in here!

Why we’re hiring

We've been delivering roughly an event a month, but we’re continuing to build volume. We’ll soon be beyond what our lean team can handle and we need another trusted pair of hands to keep delivery standards high.

What you’ll own

  • End-to-end delivery on events: You’ll own assigned events from kickoff through to the post-event wrap up. You'll act as the client lead all the way through design, planning and delivery.

  • Processes and playbooks: You’ll drive constant improvement in how we deliver events as we scale. We want to build processes that allow us to consistently deliver unforgettable events, efficiently. You’ll be integral to that effort.

  • Other opportunities: There’ll always be things to get stuck into beyond the core role. We’re all generalists at this stage, so there’s room to lean into your strengths and take on work you’re excited by.

Who we’re looking for

You don't need a decade of experience or a glittering CV, but you should be an A player who fits this profile:

  • You're a natural organiser: You’re the person who plans the trip, books the dinner, and makes sure everyone knows where they need to be. You like making things happen and bringing order to lots of moving parts.

  • You've run real events: Retreats, conferences, or away days. Whatever it is, you know how to design an agenda, manage suppliers, and craft awesome experiences.

  • You’re comfortable with ambiguity and can work independently: We're two people right now and figuring things out as we go. This role won’t be a fit if you need mature processes, step-by-step guidance, or hands-on support.

  • You have taste: You notice details and care about how things feel. You can design beautiful moments, not just manage logistics.

  • You’re a strong communicator: You'll be in front of startup leaders from day one. They will need to feel that they can trust you. Fluent English is a must.

  • You're at the right point in your career: You're looking for ownership and the chance to grow with a company. Stability and comfort are not your priorities.

  • You’re calm under pressure: Flights get delayed, the client changes the agenda the night before, a supplier cancels last minute. Whatever it is, you can handle it.

Bonus areas

  • Conference production experience: Multi-track agendas, AV and staging, serious event branding, etc. – you get it.

  • A UK supplier network: You know great venues, production crews, and other suppliers.

  • A UK startup network: You know people in startups and can help us build new relationships.

What we offer

  • Competitive salary: A fair market-rate salary.

  • Strong equity: A meaningful slice of a profitable, fast-growing business.

  • Real ownership: The events you take on are yours.

  • Real room to grow: We don’t know what the org chart will look like in 12+ months, but if you want a place where you can fast-track your career, this is it.

  • A high-performing, supportive team: You'll work alongside people who hold themselves to a high standard, take pride in their work, and are supportive of one another.

  • Travel: Events will take you across Europe and beyond. That should sound fun to you, rather than draining.

Practicalities

  • Location: We’re a remote team, but this role will ideally be based in London or commutable to it. You'd be our first UK hire, where most of our clients are based. We’re also open to hiring in the Barcelona or Girona area (where the Founder is based).

  • Employment type: We’re open to full-time or part-time. We just want to make a great hire.

  • Start date: Before October.

  • Travel: Expect 5 to 8 days per month to be spent at events. This will mostly be in the UK or Europe, occasionally further afield. There may also be occasional trips for in-person team time.
