Events Executive (Govt and Corporate)

ABOUT THE ROLE This is a role for someone who decides what needs to happen and drives it to delivery, without needing to be reminded twice. Progression is earned through outcomes, not time served. This is an entry point, not a fast-track. At PurpleForest, successful events are delivered by people who take ownership, solve problems and care about outcomes. As an Events Executive, you will work closely with managers and project teams while owning your outcomes end-to-end. The role spans client management and business development, giving you a broad view of how projects are won, delivered and closed. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES • Own Defined Project Outcomes: Take accountability for scoped outcomes, delivering them accurately, professionally and on time, not just completing assigned activities. • Earn Client Confidence : Understand client needs, communicate proactively and follow through on commitments to build trust and future opportunities. • Drive Projects Forward : Maintain momentum by aligning timelines, vendors and requirements, anticipating dependencies and resolving matters without repeated reminders. • Solve Problems Proactively : Anticipate risks and implement practical solutions within your scope before they affect the client, project or team. • Contribute to Business Growth : Spot areas to add client value, help develop proposals and quotations, and follow-up with suitable opportunities. • Deliver and Close Well : Own delivery outcomes from planning through execution and closure, aligning operational details and commitments to the required standard. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR • Relevant Experience: 2–3 years of experience in events, project management, account servicing or a client-facing role, including clear examples of independently moving work forward and delivering agreed outcomes. • Ownership & Initiative: A track record of taking responsibility for outcomes and following through without needing repeated direction, even under shifting priorities. • Communication & Commercial Awareness: A confident communicator who moves proposals and opportunities forward without being asked twice. • Team Accountability and Adaptability: Collaborate effectively while remaining personally accountable for your outcomes, raising issues early and maintaining quality and follow-through when priorities or requirements change. WHAT WE OFFER • Base Salary: SGD $3,500 – SGD $4,000 • Meaningful Ownership: Your name is attached to real projects and real client relationships, not just tasks assigned by others. • Diverse Project Exposure: Work across a wide range of events, industries and client types, from government agencies to private-sector organisations. • Commercial Exposure: See how an agency wins and prices work, beyond just delivering it. • Performance-Linked Growth: Recognition, broader scope and increased responsibility follow demonstrated ownership and reliable performance over time, not tenure, effort or requests for advancement. Some team members progress quickly; others do not, based entirely on what they deliver. • Collaborative Team Environment : Work alongside experienced managers in a team where initiative, personal accountability, reliable follow-through and shared results are expected. HOW TO APPLY • Interested applicants are invited to send a copy of their resume, together with a brief cover note, to jobs@purpleforest.com.sg . • Share your previous experience about an incident when you fixed something nobody asked you to fix before it turned out to be a larger issue. • Please include your full name, contact number, email address, nationality, education qualifications, employment history, reasons for leaving your last job, earliest available start date, and expected salary.
