- Coordinating high-profile events, conferences, workshops and academic programmes.
- Managing event logistics and programme operations from planning through to delivery.
- Building strong relationships with universities, researchers, academics and internal stakeholders.
- Supporting strategic academic partnerships and research collaborations.
- Driving process improvements and helping to build scalable ways of working within a growing team.
About You
- 5-7 years' experience in events, programme coordination, academic partnerships, higher education or a similar stakeholder-focused environment.
- Strong organisational and project coordination skills.
- Experienced in managing multiple priorities and delivering high-quality outcomes.
- Confident engaging with senior stakeholders and external partners.
- Comfortable working independently and bringing structure to evolving environments.
- Interested in research, technology, innovation or academia.
Why Apply?
This is a rare opportunity to work at the crossroads of academia, research and technology, supporting cutting-edge initiatives and collaborating with some of the brightest minds in their fields. You'll join a collaborative, intellectually curious environment where your work will have real visibility, impact and influence.
If you're passionate about delivering exceptional programmes and building meaningful connections between academia and industry, we'd love to hear from you.
