You’ll work within a high performing team and work closely with other colleagues across the whole organisation. You will ensure that our events are successful and that we meet our targets such as connecting with a diversity of schools and that our events are impactful.

You will ensure that events have a smooth event booking/registration process and deliver events to time and on budget.

You’ll work with suppliers managing relationships and budgets and build and maintain positive relationships with all stakeholders. You’ll work collaboratively with teams across the organisation such as communications, stakeholder management , evaluation, content development, our head of equity, diversity and inclusion and policy and public affairs colleagues, to name just a few!
 

The role is London based at our office at 10 Lower Thames Street, London EC3R 6EN and will involve some travel in the UK. We believe that hybrid working has many benefits and are pleased to offer flexible working with a minimum of 2 days (or 40%) a week in the office and the option for a flexible start and end to the working day in our vibrant central London office overlooking the Thames. Further details on our flexible working practices can be discussed at interview or you can reach out to a member of our HR team.
