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 Northern Ireland Assembly chairs
• Attending and contributing to the smooth operation of our seminars and receptions held in Belfast.
• The role is based at the company's HQ for producing policy conferences across the UK: a lively, friendly office with convenient rail, road and air links in Bracknell, Berkshire

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.
