£40,000 + benefits
Venue sourcing at scale, within a specialist pharma events agency, is a genuinely rare proposition. This newly created Venue Sourcing Manager role is built to give an experienced professional a strategic platform and a team to grow around them.
- Build and lead a growing venue sourcing team with a clear progression pathway
- Own a portfolio of international pharma congresses annually
- Regular FAM Trips
- Work with a blue-chip pharmaceutical client roster trusted across global healthcare
- Genuine influence over departmental strategy, process and the direction of the function
The Company
A full-service pharma events agency, mid-size, with a reputation for delivering complex, compliance-led events for demanding clients. The portfolio spans advisory boards, medical education summits, product launches and an extensive international congress programme. A Venue Sourcing Manager joining now would step into a function with genuine momentum: people tend to find their niche here and stay, drawn by the variety of work, a collaborative culture and the fact that ideas from within the team get real backing.
The Role
Reporting to the Director, the Venue Sourcing Manager will lead the venue sourcing function end to end, line managing a growing team and taking strategic ownership of one of the agency's most commercially significant disciplines.
- Lead congress procurement projects from brief through to confirmation
- Line manage and develop the venue sourcing team, supporting growth and onboarding
- Negotiate rates and contract terms with venues across international markets
- Act as senior client contact, building trusted stakeholder relationships
- Drive process improvement and commercial performance across the function
- Provide destination expertise and venue trend knowledge across the wider agency
The Candidate
The right person for this Venue Sourcing Manager role will bring solid experience in venue sourcing or congress procurement, alongside a genuine appetite for team leadership.
- Background in pharma events or healthcare conference delivery
- Strong grasp of compliance, logistics and delegate experience requirements
- Experience of complex, multi-stakeholder negotiations and confident client-facing work
- Managed or mentored at least one direct report and ready to grow that remit
Experience across international or multi-country congress programmes is beneficial but not essential, as is involvement in new business pitching. What matters most is the ambition to shape something, a collaborative approach and the judgement to operate credibly at a senior level.
In return, you will have real ownership of a growing function within a thriving specialist agency, backed by a prestigious international congress portfolio. Interviews are being arranged now, so if this Venue Sourcing Manager opportunity looks like the right next step, get in touch today.
