You will work closely with our leadership team to ensure these events are delivered smoothly and to a high standard, whether in-person or virtual. This role involves securing venues, managing end-to-end logistics, coordinating speakers, managing sponsorship agreements, and ensuring seamless event execution both on-site and online. In addition, you will drive event promotion, ensuring a strong delegate presence and an engaging participant experience.

 Who we are looking for

We are seeking a candidate with proven event management experience, particularly in high-level, international contexts involving senior executives, government officials, and multilateral organisations. You should have a proven track record of organising successful events under tight deadlines and budgets, with the ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously. Strong project management and relationship-building skills are essential, as is confidence in managing complex events and handling last-minute changes with professionalism. Familiarity with using social media to promote events is essential and the ability to work with Adobe (InDesign and Illustrator) would be advantageous.

If you are passionate about delivering high-impact events and thrive in a fast-paced, international setting, we’d love to hear from you.

We operate a flexible hybrid working culture. Your time will be split equally between remote/home and in our London office, with typical office days on Tuesday and Wednesday.
