We support early-career researchers, doctoral candidates and maintain close connections with an impressive network of international academics,

- Develop and manage event budgets (circa £200,000 annually), ensuring cost-effective planning and quality.
- Drive event outreach and promotion strategies to maximise engagement.
- Conduct evaluations to measure event success and inform future strategies.

You will have a proven track record in organising high-quality, high-profile events with meticulous attention to detail. Strong organisational, project management and communication skills are essential, along with the ability to build effective relationships across diverse internal and external stakeholders.
