Why LNER?
Our vision is to be the most loved, progressive and responsible way to travel for generations to come, and we're looking for the people who can deliver this, every day.
Since we took over the East Coast route, we've been changing the face of travel. Our new fleet of Azuma trains are delivering faster journey times, more space, comfort and greater reliability. Our exciting plans to embrace new ideas, experiences, backgrounds and ambitions make this the ideal time to join.
Bringing passion. Being bold. Always caring. Owning it. They're the values that make us LNER.
Are you on board?
What you'll be doing: We have an exciting opportunity for an Events Manager to join our Communications team on a fixed term basis for 12 months. As our Events Manager, you'll work with colleagues, stakeholders and agencies to organise, through creativity and skilful relationship building, tailored events across the UK for LNER, ensuring a unique experience for all our stakeholders. In addition to this, you will contribute to the success of major internal and external events, providing support to the business both directly through project management, and indirectly through advice to internal organisers of small events.
You'll also be involved in:
Making event recommendations across our business, from key internal events including Legends – our annual recognition awards, Managers' Conferences and Loyalty Awards to external PR and Stakeholder events.

Managing the logistics or being responsible for managing the agency hired to organise the logistics and suggest areas of improvement.
