Bring standout events and integrated marketing activations to life, creating experiences and campaigns that connect our clients, colleagues and brand.

The Role

We’re looking for an Events Marketing Manager to join our UK Marketing team on a 12-month fixed-term contract, providing maternity cover. This is a hands‑on role with primary responsibility for leading the planning and delivery of high‑quality events, while also supporting the wider UK Marketing and Communications agenda.

You’ll take ownership of events from initial concept through to delivery and evaluation, creating engaging experiences that strengthen Capco’s brand, support business priorities, deepen client relationships and contribute to pipeline generation.

Our events portfolio can include client roundtables, conferences, award ceremonies, drinks receptions, partner organisation events and internal town halls , delivered across face‑to‑face, virtual and hybrid formats.

While events will be the core focus of the role, the responsibilities will not be limited to event management. You’ll work closely with the wider UK Marcomms team, as well as regional marketing counterparts, to support key campaigns and activations across the business. This may include contributing to integrated marketing campaigns, award submissions, reports and newsletters, thought leadership, video and podcast production, and wider client and brand engagement activity .

A key part of the role will be collaborating with and managing event agencies, external suppliers, partner organisations and internal stakeholders , ensuring activity is delivered to a high standard, on time and within budget.

The role operates on a hybrid basis. However, due to the nature of events, there will be periods when you may be required to work from the London or one of our Scotland offices for up to five days per week, depending on event schedules and business demand.
