Job Details

Help produce seminars on technology and media policy that make headlines and move forward thinking on some of the most important live policy issues.

Please see the Westminster Media Forum and Westminster eForum sections on our website for further details on the current programme.

Our events
• Constructive, inclusive, challenging and strictly impartial
• For media professionals across TV, radio, print and the internet, and their advisors and for policy makers in Parliament, Whitehall and the world of regulation; as well as media-related sectors in telecoms and technology; for academics, journalists and commentators; and for a wide range of citizens and interest groups.

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

• Bright graduates with exceptional aptitude and professional outlook will also be considered
• 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 skills - and quick to learn
• 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 rest of the 100-strong team is always on hand.
