Event Manager - HSBC Championships

The LTA 's vision is 'Tennis Opened Up' and its mission is the transform communities through tennis by making it welcoming, enjoyable and inspiring to everyone. We have a similar approach to developing and promoting padel, one of the fastest growing sports in Britain.

The Event Planning and Delivery team are responsible for delivering the LTA's programme of Major Events, driving visibility and enjoyment to new and existing audiences. The Event Manager will play a vital role in supporting the delivery of the operational elements of the HSBC Championships at The Queen's Club, providing support to the team for the successful delivery of these key operational projects.

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Event Manager with 5+ years of management level work experience within events, to work closely with the Head of Event Operations to deliver the HSBC Championships consisting of WTA 500 and ATP 500 events. The annual cycle for this role involves approximately 7 months planning, 3 months of transition in the 'readiness' phase and into tournament delivery (including the build of all temporary event infrastructure), and 2 months of tournament wrap-up and debriefing.

We are looking for an Event Manager with a logistics background who has experience with some of the following - utilities (power/water), workforce, broadcast & media, local authority liaison, tech. You don't need to have worked in all these areas, but this gives a flavour as to the elements of the job you will be looking after in your first year in post.

The LTA, through its vision 'Tennis Opened Up', is committed to creating an inclusive environment where all colleagues feel included and a strong sense of belonging. We particularly welcome applications from people from ethnically diverse communities, deaf and disabled people, members of the LGBTQ+ community and people with lived experience of the UK's many and varied communities.
