Levy delivers world‑class hospitality at the Scottish Event Campus — one of the UK’s leading live event and conference venues. From large‑scale exhibitions and conferences to concerts and sporting events, our teams ensure every guest experiences the highest standard of service and food excellence.

The Role

As Head of Event Planning, you’ll lead the planning and delivery of high‑profile events across the SEC. You will oversee the event planning team, coordinate cross‑departmental operations, and ensure all events are delivered on time, on budget, and to Levy’s premium standards. This is a strategic role requiring both operational expertise and strong leadership.

Event Planning & Coordination

  • Oversee the planning and delivery of a wide range of events, from conferences and exhibitions to live entertainment and awards ceremonies.
  • Ensure all client requirements are captured, documented, and executed effectively.
  • Develop detailed event briefs, timelines, and function sheets for internal teams.
  • Collaborate closely with Levy operations, culinary, and front‑of‑house teams to ensure seamless event execution.

Client & Stakeholder Management

  • Serve as the senior point of contact for key clients, building strong relationships and providing expert guidance.
  • Liaise with venue partners, suppliers, and internal teams to ensure all operational needs are met.
  • Support the commercial growth of the venue by identifying upsell opportunities and supporting business development initiatives.

Operational Excellence & Compliance

  • Ensure events are delivered safely, efficiently, and to Levy and SEC standards.
  • Monitor budgets, forecast costs, and ensure events are delivered within financial targets.
  • Ensure compliance with health & safety, licensing, and food safety regulations.

Essential

What We’re Looking For

  • Significant experience in event planning, hospitality management, or conference & banqueting operations at scale.
  • Proven leadership experience managing teams in high‑pressure, high‑volume environments.
  • Strong organisational, planning, and problem‑solving skills.
  • Excellent communication and client management abilities.
  • Flexible approach, with the ability to work evenings and weekends as required.

Desirable

  • Experience within large‑scale venues or multi‑event environments.
  • Knowledge of event management software and systems.
  • Commercial awareness with a focus on revenue growth.

What Levy Offers

  • A senior leadership role at one of the UK’s most iconic venues.
  • The chance to shape world‑class events and deliver exceptional hospitality experiences.
  • A supportive, inclusive culture with career development and progression opportunities.
