Main Purpose of Job:
The Income Generation (IG) Event Officer leads on the co-ordination and organisation of impactful events that generate income for the British Embassy and support UK goals in Japan, in a way that is efficient, collaborative, and provides good value for money, as well as strengthening the Network's consistency and capacity in IG event planning.
What the Jobholder will be Expected to Achieve:
This is an exciting opportunity to take on a central role in the busy Japan Network (which includes the British Embassy in Tokyo and the Consulate General in Osaka), which will allow the jobholder to develop strong organisational, marketing, project and event management skills. Delivering IG events is a core part of our work and crucial in enabling the Network to deliver on UK Government priorities. You will gain experience in supporting the Embassy's objectives and working with all sections across the UK's Japan Network. You will be part of the Corporate Entertainment Team (CET), and working closely with the Executive Chef, and Head Steward, as well as the other chefs and stewards.
We are a busy network and hold a large number of Income Generation events throughout the year, including large garden parties, formal dinners, business functions, and seminars.
In the role, you will be expected to:
All staff are also expected to contribute to corporate activities including crisis response.
The successful candidate will be a well-organised self-starter and good team player with strong initiative, flexibility and enthusiasm, communications and IT skills and will work closely with the Ambassador's Private Office team, the Visit and Events team, and across the wider network.
Resources Managed (Staff and E xpenditure):
Jobholder will monitor the budget for IG events.
Essential qualifications, skills and experience 1Language Requirements: Business level of fluency in English and Japanese
Desirable qualifications, skills and experience 1This role is advertised as a 12-month fixed term contract.
(Note: Salary may be reduced due to tax status)
Working Patterns:
Full time and office based. 37.5 hours per week. Due to the nature of this role the job holder may sometimes be expected to support events in the evening and very occasionally at the weekend, with duties shared among the whole team.
The British Embassy Tokyo supports and promotes flexible working as a crucial part of our inclusive offering. This particular role allows for flexibility in start and end times, working compressed hours, remote working (for agreed periods), and the possibility of a job share arrangement, subject to agreement with management.
The successful candidate would need to be willing to flex to work for longer hours and occasionally at weekends during busy periods. The Embassy operates a TOIL (time off in lieu) system to compensate for any additional hours worked during busy periods.
Current policy permits working from home one day per week without a formal flexible working arrangement.
Applicants must possess or be able to secure a local work permit.
Learning and Development Opportunities (and any specific training courses to be completed):
The majority of development will be on the job – this role is part of a busy and highly-skilled team working to deliver very high volumes of events and VIP visits in the historic Residence.
The British Embassy offers comprehensive learning and development opportunities that will be fully available to the jobholder. We regularly run both work area specific training, as well as more general skills development in project management, finance, and leadership. Each year the job holder will be encouraged to use five development days to pursue development goals.
All staff are required to take a role in the embassy's crisis preparation and response. Full training will be provided for this, and regular opportunities will be available to test and develop your skills.
