Events Manager — Renegade Urban Winery (Posted Feb 2026) - POSITION FILLED

📍 E17 (Blackhorse Road)
🕒 Full-time
Reporting to: Founder / Leadership

Why this role exists

Renegade Urban Winery is a working winery in East London. We make our own wine on site and host people in the space where it’s made.

We’re not a hotel group or a corporate venue brand. We’re an independent, ambitious business built around wine, hospitality, community and experience.

Today, our events business is centred around:

  • Weddings

  • Experience-led public events

  • Private parties

  • Supper clubs, live music and tastings

As we grow, we want to:

  • Strengthen our corporate events offering

  • Develop trade tastings and industry-facing events

  • Build stronger partnerships

  • Run a sharper, more commercially focused events pipeline

We’re looking for someone to take ownership of that next stage.

The role

We’re hiring a commercially minded, hands-on Events Manager to own and grow our events business.

This role combines:

  • Sales and conversion

  • Planning and delivery

  • Relationship-building

  • On-the-ground execution

There isn’t a large events team underneath you (though you’ll have strong support). You’ll have real ownership and autonomy, working closely with the founder, group area manager, marketing and hospitality.

You’ll manage the full events journey — from enquiry to delivery and follow-up — using Design My Night as our core bookings system.

What you’ll be responsible for

Core responsibilities

  • Owning all inbound event enquiries (website, email, phone, third-party platforms)

  • Responding quickly and professionally, and converting enquiries into profitable bookings

  • Managing the full journey: enquiry → proposal → confirmation → delivery → follow-up

  • Leading weddings end-to-end (currently a core revenue stream)

  • Ensuring we deliver consistently excellent experiential public events — and continuing to improve them

  • Acting as onsite lead for key events

Growth & development

  • Building and developing a stronger corporate events pipeline

  • Establishing trade tastings and industry-facing events as a meaningful channel

  • Creating partnerships that drive bookings and visibility

  • Improving pricing discipline and average booking value

  • Making our listings, proposals and pipeline management sharper and more effective

What success looks like

  • Enquiries are handled quickly and convert into strong, profitable business

  • Wedding revenue remains consistent and well managed

  • Corporate bookings steadily increase

  • Trade events become a recognised part of our commercial activity

  • Events run smoothly and professionally

  • The pipeline is visible, organised and commercially disciplined

Who this role is ideal for

  • You genuinely enjoy wine, hospitality, events and hosting people

  • You’ve worked in events, venues, weddings or hospitality

  • You’re commercially aware and comfortable selling and closing

  • You’re organised, detail-driven and calm under pressure

  • You enjoy taking ownership in a small, independent business

  • You’re comfortable using booking systems / CRMs (Design My Night experience is a plus)

Why join Renegade

  • Real ownership and visible impact

  • The chance to grow and shape an events business, not just maintain one

  • Close collaboration with the founder and leadership team

  • A creative, independent environment

  • The opportunity to build and shape the next phase of our events growth

If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear:

  • Examples of events you’ve personally led end-to-end

  • The types of clients you’ve worked with

  • Why Renegade — and this role — appeal to you
