- Manage the full commercial cycle from prospecting and enquiry to delivery and invoicing
- Work with our impressive existing client base while actively developing new partnerships

- Develop and deliver new youth voice initiatives that amplify marginalised voices
- Engage new partners and showcase our transformative work
- Manage events, logistics, and complex stakeholder relationships across multiple organisations
- Maximise the potential of these programmes to generate new funding sources to expand this part of our work.
Supporting Speakers Trust's Broader Objectives
- As part of our collaborative team of 10, you'll also contribute to our success through:
- Supporting fundraising events and activities to help achieve our income targets
- Contributing to events for our schools programme and other initiatives where needed
- Coordinating smaller projects across the charity as opportunities and needs arise
- Supporting the CEO and team with tasks that help make Speakers Trust a great place to work
- Contributing to solutions for the usual challenges faced by small charities - bringing creativity and problem-solving skills
