A typical day might include coordinating a global webinar, supporting trainers and presenters, managing event registrations, creating promotional communications, updating event webpages, analysing attendance data, gathering feedback and identifying opportunities to improve future events.

We operate a hybrid working policy that requires a minimum of 2 days per week in the Oxford office.

About You

You will be a proactive, detail-oriented and customer-focused individual who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment and managing multiple priorities simultaneously.
