From digital platforms and print publications to live events, we bring together a community of over 240,000 rail professionals across the UK -- and we're just getting started.

The Role: Events Coordinator

We're looking for a proactive and enthusiastic

Events Coordinator

to help plan, manage, and grow our portfolio of rail industry events -- most notably the

RailStaff Awards

, a glittering night that welcomes over 1,000 industry professionals each year.

You'll collaborate closely with our in-house team to ensure every event runs smoothly, while also bringing fresh energy and ideas to take them to the next level.

Coordinate logistics, suppliers, and communications in the run-up to each event. Work closely with internal teams to ensure brand alignment and audience engagement.

A natural communicator - you're happy picking up the phone and engaging with people at all levels.
A creative marketer - you know how to write persuasive emails and connect on LinkedIn.
A determined doer - you don't give up easily and love solving problems.

Essential:

At least 3 years of work experience in a relevant or transferable role. A flexible, can-do attitude with a passion for events.

Desirable:

Previous experience in event coordination or marketing. Knowledge of the rail industry (nice to have, but not a deal-breaker!).
