Old Queen Street Media is home to The Spectator, UnHerd and Apollo — and to a set of historic Westminster venues that host hundreds of events each year. We’re looking for an Events and Facilities Manager to plan, organise, and coordinate everything that happens in those spaces.
This means taking ownership of events from the first enquiry to the final invoice: working with clients to shape the occasion, coordinating with our food & beverage and production teams, and making sure every element runs on time and to a high standard. At the same time, you’ll ensure our offices and venues are kept guest-ready, suppliers are managed, and the everyday operations that underpin the business are running smoothly.
No day is the same. One week you could be organising a ministerial press conference, the next a Christmas party, a wedding, or an intimate dinner for six. You’ll need to handle a lot of moving parts, balance competing priorities, and keep both events and facilities running flawlessly. This is a central role in a fast-moving media group, with equal emphasis on first-class hospitality and first-rate organisation.

• Plan and deliver events — manage logistics end to end, from initial enquiry and planning through to on-the-day delivery and follow-up.
• Coordinate across teams — work closely with food & beverage, production, editorial, and commercial colleagues to align on menus, AV, timings, and client needs.
• Manage hires and clients — liaise with everyone from private clients to journalists and ministers, representing OQS to a high professional standard.
• Oversee facilities — ensure our venues and offices are safe, well maintained, and always ready for staff and guests.
• Keep operations on track — handle suppliers, contractors, budgets, invoicing, and compliance so nothing falls between the cracks.
