About us

The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) is the world’s largest business organisation representing 45 million companies with 1 billion employees in over 170 countries. It is the only business organisation with UN Observer Status and acts as a leading voice for business at the UN, G7, G20, World Trade Organization and other major international institutions.

ICC United Kingdom is the representative voice for ICC in the UK and provides a mechanism for UK industry to engage effectively in shaping international policy, standards and rules. We are the leading voice on digital trade ecosystems and Co-Chair the B2B Cluster for the Commonwealth Connectivity Agenda.

ICC is a great place to be for anyone wanting to work for a global institution and looking for exposure to a broad range of international business issues. You’ll be working with a great team of diverse, dynamic committed and fun people who all have a passion for the international nature of ICC’s work, delivering results and making things happen. If ever there was a time to be in international trade, it is now. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to be at the heart of the action in modernising global frameworks and scaling up business engagement at international level.

About the role

We seek a highly organised and proactive Events Manager to join our team, helping to deliver a range of high-profile events that engage key stakeholders and promote our strategic objectives. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced events professional to play a central role in organising conferences, webinars, and networking forums focused on international trade, arbitration, sustainability, and trade finance.

You will be responsible for planning and coordinating major events such as the Annual Arbitration & ADR Conference, a series of masterclasses, roundtables and other events reflecting ICC’s global policy priorities on issues such as trade, trade finance, digital economy, sustainability and business integrity. You will work closely with our leadership team to ensure these events are delivered smoothly and to a high standard, whether in-person or virtual. This role involves securing venues, managing end to end logistics, coordinating speakers, managing sponsorship agreements, and ensuring seamless event execution both on-site and online. In addition, you will drive event promotion, ensuring a strong delegate presence and an engaging participant experience.

Who we are looking for

We are seeking a candidate with proven event management experience, particularly in high-level, international contexts involving senior executives, government officials, and multilateral organisations. You should have a proven track record of organising successful events, end-to-end, under tight deadlines and budgets, with the ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously. Strong project management and relationship-building skills are essential, as is confidence in managing complex events and handling last-minute changes with professionalism. Familiarity with using social media to promote events is essential and the ability to work with Adobe (InDesign and Illustrator) would be advantageous.

If you are a high energy individual who is passionate about delivering high-impact events and thrive in a fast-paced, international setting, we’d love to hear from you.

We operate a flexible hybrid working culture. Your time will be split equally remote/home and in our London office, with typical office days Tuesday and Wednesday.
