Key information

We are now looking for a Senior Events and Ceremonials Manager to join us on a permanent, full-time basis, working 36 hours per week. Due to the nature of this role, there may be a requirement to work outside of normal working hours particularly evening and weekends.

About the role

This is a unique opportunity to take a lead operational role in delivering some of the UK’s most high-profile and nationally significant ceremonials and events, set within London’s most iconic parks.

The Role

As Senior Events and Ceremonials Manager, you will be at the heart of complex, multi-agency operations—leading planning, readiness and on-the-ground delivery. You’ll act as a key operational decision-maker, working closely with partners including government departments, the police and other statutory agencies to ensure safe, seamless and high-quality delivery.

With a primary focus on St James’s Park, you will play a critical role in coordinating ceremonial activity while also contributing to a wider programme of major public events. These include:

  • Trooping of the Colour
  • Remembrance Sunday
  • State Occasions

We want to put everyone in the best possible position to succeed so if you think that you may need more support to complete our application process, please do get in touch.

The Royal Parks is strongly committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace and is an equal opportunities employer. We value diversity and encourage applications from candidates from all backgrounds. We believe that the more inclusive we are, the better our work will be.

Requirements

  • Proven experience delivering major events or ceremonies in a multi-agency setting
  • Strong operational planning and decision-making skills, particularly in live environments
  • Experience working with statutory authorities (e.g. police, local authorities)
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
  • A solid understanding of event safety, licensing and compliance
  • The ability to lead teams, coordinate resources and stay calm under pressure
