You'll work closely with different areas of our business, demonstrating diplomacy, sensitivity, and a commitment to delivering quality results in a timely manner.
Check out the programme of conferences on our website.

About You:
We're looking for an individual who embodies our company values, including a sense of service, strict impartiality, high ethical standards, and a business-like, fair, diplomatic and commercially focused outlook.
You will need to be a self-starter with focus on moving the organisation of your conferences forward.
Our ideal candidate will have:

* Exceptional written communication skills
* Quick learning abilities to absorb our funding model and business practices
* Strong diplomacy and problem-solving skills
* Excellent organisational and time management skills
* A can-do attitude, strong sense of responsibility, and natural willingness to help colleagues
* Bright graduates - with exceptional aptitude and a professional outlook - will also be considered
