Senior Event Manager Jobs in Westminster, Greater London
JUST ONE Tree is a young, yet award-winning, non-profit organisation. We’re tackling the dual crises of climate change and biodiversity loss through global reforestation. And it’s simple for everyone to get involved because JUST £1 plants 1 Tree.
We’re unique as we don’t just plant trees. We focus on restoring the entire ecosystem in the oceans as well as on land, and we also educate the next generation of environmental caretakers.
Sound like something you’d love to be part of? Join us in this important role.
The role:
Since it began JUST ONE Tree has grown in leaps and bounds, beyond all our expectations. This year alone we’ve smashed the 4 million trees planted Milestone, become a partner in the United Nations’ Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and our founder has been nominated for Woman of the Year 2023.
This is an incredible opportunity to join at an exciting time and help take us into the stratosphere.
Working alongside our founder Amanda, and other team members, you’ll be right at the heart of the action. We’re a small, friendly and passionate team.
We’re looking for someone who can seek out and build great partnerships, cultivate and manage large corporate donors whose values align with ours and help raise brand awareness. Someone who can proactively generate new and repeat business, and enjoys networking and building relationships with both corporate sponsors and high net worth donors.
This is a permanent part-time, and yet flexible role, for 3 days a week. We’ll explore the exact hours and timing with you and together find what works.
Your work with us will raise awareness about the climate crisis and the importance of sustainability in the business world in order to create a liveable future. You’ll help us restore wildlife and marine habitats, improve livelihoods in rural communities, protect against deforestation, alleviate climate anxiety in our young and of course help tackle climate change head on.
So if you’re passionate about having a positive impact on both people and planet, want to work and interact with like-minded individuals (and have fun along the way) then we’d love to hear from you.
What does the role involve:
- Grow our annual and long-term funding.
- Research and successfully secure new long-term relationships with exciting brands and large corporate donors whose company values align with ours.
- Take the helm in the ongoing stewardship of these accounts, keeping them enthused about being part of JUST ONE Tree, the impact they’ve had and what their involvement means we can achieve together.
- Designing and implementing strategies to increase funding and strong partnerships that raise brand awareness and reach new audiences.
- Research networking, speaking events and opportunities for the CEO, yourself and others to attend, to build our network and profile.
About you:
- A self-starter, someone who takes initiative and has boundless energy to get out there and help us grow.
- You’re great at getting brands and high-value donors on board with causes like ours, and an instinct for how to communicate and build starter brands like us.
- A real people-person who enjoys networking, meeting new people, and building and nurturing strong relationships with others.
- Confident speaking with senior stakeholders and decision makers from large and high-profile organisations.
- Have a track record in working in a growth and development role (minimum 3 years), and have a strong record of securing key partnerships and generating large income streams/donations.
- Agile and creative to seek out new opportunities in a rapidly evolving space.
- A team player who’s eager to collaborate with the team to help achieve our goals.
- Have a good eye for brand identity.
- Working remotely is your cup of tea but you also have the flexibility and ability to attend networking events or team meet-ups/co-working days
- An excellent communicator who can convey the brand story and our achievements in person, in meetings and at events.
- You’re passionate about what we do, excited to represent our brand and want to turbocharge our global impact.
What’s in it for you
Working remotely – Like to work from home? No worries, our team is spread out all around the world. However, for this role we are seeking someone who lives in the UK and a commutable distance to London for team meet-ups, client meetings and attending events.
Flexible working – work around the school pick-up, after you evening swim or you’ve walked the dog – you decide.
Flexible holiday policy – we believe in the importance of good mental health and family time. It’s a marathon not a sprint. Contributing to tackling the most pressing crises of our time – with a great team.
Part Time, 3 days per week or equivalent, to include either a Monday or Friday. Hours are flexible, as long as the majority is during the working day.
Basic Salary £40k-£42k pro rata (based on experience), plus commission.
We're looking for someone to join us and be a great part of the JUST ONE Tree team.
JUST ONE Tree is uncomfortably aware of the lack of diversity in the environmental sector and we’re not ok with it. We know we’ll be even stronger and more effective in powering change if we are a more diverse team.
All qualified applicants will be considered regardless of race, colour, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, genetics, national origin, disability, age or any other grounds.
How to Apply:
Please email your CV (no more than 3 pages) and a covering letter detailing why you are interested in the role, your relevant experience and how you think you meet the requirements. Applicants that do not send through a CV and covering letter, will not be considered.

Hybrid working with regular travel to our London Bridge Office; occasional UK regional travel
What the job involves
Funding research that will improve the lives of men with, or at high risk of, prostate cancer is one of Prostate Cancer UK’s highest priorities. Prostate cancer is harming too many men, in exchange for too few cures, which is why we are motivated more than ever to deliver a future where lives are no longer harmed by prostate cancer. We invest in the most innovative ideas to accelerate our knowledge and understanding of prostate cancer, and to develop better treatments and more effective approaches to diagnose the disease, so that we can transform the lives of all men with, or at risk of, prostate cancer.
We’re looking to appoint an enthusiastic and proactive Senior Research Impact Officer to join our Research Directorate. You’ll join an existing Senior Research Impact Officer to support the Senior Research Impact and Intelligence Manager to find, communicate and accelerate the impact of Prostate Cancer UK’s funded research. Taking responsibility for 50% of our ‘completed and in follow-up’ portfolio of research grants, you’ll act as their primary contact, assessing the likelihood of, and proximity to, impact.
You’ll use your scientific knowledge to understand the science behind these projects and communication skills to build strong working relationships with the researchers. With your research experience you’ll develop a detailed understanding of the outputs, outcomes and impact arising from the research we funded and support our research community to accelerate their pathway to impact.
What we want from you
Your role is important to the charity, as supporting research that can ultimately deliver a tangible impact to men affected by prostate cancer is a significant focus in our charity strategy.
You’ll need to be passionate about research making an impact and hold a bio-medical science degree (or a degree in a related subject), with research experience. You can understand complex scientific information presented in reports, publications or presentations and explain these complex concepts in a simple and engaging way to a range of audiences including peers within the charity as well as men and their families affected by the disease. You’ll be motivated to consistently perform to the highest standards, with an eagerness to trial new ideas, identify new opportunities and solve problems.
In any one day you could be helping develop an impact case study for the website, interviewing researchers for project updates, supporting delivery of a research event, or using social media to disseminate the work of our funded researchers. Your primary focus will be on the impact of our funded research, but you’ll also work closely with our research funding team, as well as with other teams across the charity.
We encourage applications from candidates who may not completely fit the job description as we are fully committed to help staff develop and progress in their role.
Why work with us?
Every man needs to know about the most common cancer in men – prostate cancer. It’s a real and present danger that takes over 12,000 of our dads, grandads, brothers and friends each year.
Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition – to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk. And we work tirelessly to spread the word about risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease.
Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.
Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion
At Prostate Cancer UK, we believe that equity, diversity and inclusion are essential to building a strong and innovative workplace that represents, and can advocate for, the communities we support.
It’s our ambition to become an anti-racist organisation, and our mission to advance racial equity in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.
We’re continuously learning more about the needs of our colleagues, and have three amazing People Networks, sponsored by our Leadership team: Pride, Mind & Body and Multicultural.
Ways of working
Our hybrid working approach combines the best of flexible working – a positive work/life balance, inclusive and accessible platforms, and online information at our fingertips.
