ABOUT US

Startup Coalition is an independent advocacy group that serves as the policy voice for technology-led start ups and scaleups in the UK. Startup Coalition was founded by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs and fights for a policy environment that enables early-stage British tech companies to grow, scale and compete globally.

JOB DETAILS

• Run our events calendar end-to-end. You'll plan and deliver the logistics behind everything from intimate policy dinners to conference activations, including our Party Conference presence. That means booking venues, managing suppliers, coordinating catering and AV, and making sure every detail lands on the day.
• Keep high volumes of output moving without dropping a ball. We run a packed calendar across Westminster and beyond, so you'll need to juggle multiple events at different stages at once, working fast and staying organised under pressure.
• Build relationships that make events sing. From venues to caterers to partner organisations, you'll be the person keeping every moving part aligned and every stakeholder in the loop.
• Own the guest experience. Managing invite lists, RSVPs, and on-the-day logistics so that founders, investors and policymakers all have a seamless experience at our events.
• Chip in on everything else. We run a small operation, so everyone works together to deliver great policy work that helps achieve a policy environment that enables tech startups and scaleups to grow and scale effectively.

This role is suitable for someone who:

• is highly organised, with a track record of running multiple events simultaneously without missing details.

• is calm under pressure and comfortable troubleshooting on the day of an event.
• is a confident communicator, happy liaising with venues, suppliers, and senior stakeholders alike.
• who loves politics and technology, and wants their events work to support a broader policy mission.
