Reports to: Communications Manager
Location: West London, currently operating an agile working policy with a minimum of two core days in the office (Tuesday and Thursday)
Employment Type: Permanent
Working Pattern: Full time - 37.5 hours per week

Annual Salary: £31,659 to £35,552
About the role:
As Martingale Foundation starts supporting its third cohort of Scholars, we need an organised, communications focused and proactive individual to grow our capacity in two significant areas of our work: our regular in-person events, and our recruitment and assessment process.
You will take the lead on, and quality assure, all Martingale events including our Welcome Dinner for new Scholars at the Royal Society, autumn assessment centres, regular training days for Masters and PhD students, our week-long summer residential retreats for Scholars, as well as events for current and potential funders and other stakeholders. You will also help secure high-profile speakers from relevant industries. While these events will be delivered in collaboration with other members of the team, you will bring your event management expertise to drive forward planning and delivery, and ensure these events are of the highest standards for Scholars and stakeholders.
You will also play a vital role in Martingale’s recruitment and admissions work. You will support the Communications Manager in the dissemination of Martingale recruitment materials to relevant universities, student societies, charities, and learned societies, to ensure a high number of applications to the Martingale Scholarship programme. You will work closely with the Programme Manager and Programme Officer to deliver well-run assessment centres and programme events across England and Scotland. You will also support the Communications Manager through producing high-quality content relating to Martingale events, to be distributed through our social media channels.
