Are you a quick learner who can hit the ground running? Do you have work experience - in policy, conference production, journalism, public affairs or similar fields? This is a fantastic opportunity to join a highly experienced team of people and company.

Help produce conferences on key policy issues such as Health and Medical Research, Business Policy's, Culture, Media Sport and related areas, Education Policy's or Scotland Policy Issues.

To help move forward thinking for legislators, government and stakeholders.

Our events:

  • Constructive, inclusive, challenging and strictly impartial; and
  • Important occasions for policymakers in government, Parliament and regulation, as well as well as businesses involved in the media, cultural activities and sport, together with their partners and advisors, individual professionals and practices, advocacy groups and those representing consumers and citizens, academics, and others that are interested in or affected by the issues.

The role:

  • Demanding but rewarding - in a company that is commercially focused and expanding, but with a strong ethical heart.
  • Part of a small team working on all aspects of event production.
  • Following latest policy developments and news from the sector - and researching issues, possible speakers and contacts.
  • Drafting agendas and promotional text for the seminars.
  • Liaising with speakers and our Parliamentary chairs.

What we're looking for:

  • A quick learner who can hit the ground running.
  • Some solid work experience - in policy, conference production, journalism, public affairs or similar fields.
  • We will also consider bright graduates with exceptional aptitude and professional outlook.
  • Practical focus and passionate about helping achieve our mission of providing policy makers with the context to make best decisions.
  • Excellent communication, organisational and time management.
  • Ability to assimilate information quickly, identify key issues from a range of stakeholder viewpoints (in line with our core proposition of impartiality).
  • Clear, stylish accurate writing is essential.

There's a high degree of fast-paced multi-tasking but support from senior editorial staff and the rest of the 100-strong team is always on hand.
