Join The Cake Detective’s Event Committee and help bring our fundraising and supporter-celebration events to life.

  • Co-plan and deliver 3–5 fundraising or supporter events each year
  • Help develop and manage the annual event calendar
  • Source and coordinate venues, vendors and suppliers
  • Support health, safety, insurance and risk planning
  • Build marketing timelines (save-the-dates, ticketing pages, donor shout-outs and post-event reels)
  • Support event set-up, delivery and pack-down
  • Contribute flexibly, with increased time around event dates.

Requirements:

  • Ideally you’re studying or have finished a qualification in event management, hospitality, marketing or a related area (or you’ve already proved you can pull off great community or charity events)
  • You’re at ease in Google Workspace and Canva (or willing to learn)
  • Love brainstorming quirky themes and partnerships
  • Can stay on top of messages within 48 hours
  • Able to hit deadlines and flag hiccups early
  • Care deeply about bringing people together and advancing The Cake Detective’s mission
  • Have reliable internet plus the availability to make at least 80 % of virtual committee meetings and one physical event each quarter.

Time commitment:

  • Hours fluctuate: 2–3 hrs/month during quiet planning phases
  • Up to 5–6 hrs/week in the final month before an event
  • Entirely remote-friendly, except for local event days.
