Your Profile
You will be an ambitious graduate with a 2:1 degree or above or equivalent.
You will have an entrepreneurial, intelligent, positive and hard-working attitude.
You will be commercially astute with a constant desire to find out more about complex
business/financial issues. As such, you will have strong analytical research skills that
enable you to build an understanding in the various and niche financial/legal areas
you will be investigating.
You will also be creative with strong self-drive project management skills.
You will need to have no fear of researching with senior business professionals – often
the heads of their departments – in technical areas that you are unlikely to have prior
experience of.
The ideal candidate will have a successful track record in conference production, but
exceptions can be made if overwhelming potential makes up for a lack of experience.
The Role
Researching and producing a range of events across a range of business areas, you
will be responsible for researching and writing your own conference programmes and
managing the production process within a defined topic area (in this case, Legal
and/or Financial).
Speaking with key business industry players in the research process, you will be
responsible for all elements of speaker acquisition and topic research across a number
of different events.
With telephone research and face to face meetings a critical element of the role; you
will have excellent communication & inter-personal skills – being able to forge
professional relationships easily. Candidates with expectations that business/research
can be conducted purely by email need not apply!
As a division that runs events of various scale, you will also be an excellent time
manager, able to balance many different tasks at any one time. The ability to
generate ideas for new events and run them from conception to execution will be an
added bonus, but not be integral to the role at this stage.
The role(s) is ideal for entrepreneurial minded individuals who can make keen
commercial decisions, manage projects and want to take the first step towards
managing their own portfolio of events.
The Rewards
The division is growing rapidly based largely on the hard work and initiative of its
staff. Given our product range and breadth of topic, there are excellent prospects for
the right person both in terms of personal development and financial reward.
Both portfolios (Legal & Financial) have an established history with excellent
prospects for financial reward.

conferences and regular training events with a reputation for quality across the
industry, this is a dynamic business. We are part of a market-leading group; a global
operation which operates in over 50 countries. We offer excellent opportunities to
progress within their organisation and have a competitive salary structure.
