AUDE Events Officer

AUDE promotes excellence in the strategic planning, management, operation and development of Higher Education (HE) estates and facilities. We offer membership to publicly funded UK higher education bodies whose primary remit is higher education teaching and/or research. We also provide membership to international universities, alternative providers of education and commercial business partners. AUDE is a not-for-profit organisation, and any funds generated through the activities of the Association are used to fulfil its objectives and mission.

We are looking for a full-time Events Officer to join our small team. This role would suit an experienced events person who has been a part of a team organising conferences and exhibitions. You will support our Events Manager and work with external conferencing agencies for our larger events.

We need a driven, dynamic individual who is highly motivated with an ability to engage and communicate with a professional membership. You will have experience working in events, sourcing speakers, securing sponsorship and managing exhibitions. We need someone with exceptional interpersonal skills, self-confidence and who is a good listener. It is vital that the post-holder understands the value of AUDE to its members and how the Association will meet these needs.

The Events Officer will play an important role in bringing additional income into the Association. Working with the Events Manager you will make a small but powerful team. The focus of this role will be the running of events and conferences for our members, and where appropriate use sponsorship and exhibition opportunities to create revenue. You will need to understand budgets and work within them while meeting income targets.

The post-holder reports to the Events Manager and has no line management responsibilities. This role will be based at home in the UK, and include frequent UK travel and overnight stays for events and meetings. The role will have busy periods around events, and you must be able to plan your workload accordingly.

AUDE is a Professional HE Services (PHES) organisation and offers a competitive salary between £30,505 - £37,999 dependent on qualifications and experience. A defined contribution pension scheme is offered with 7.5% employee and 16% employer contribution rates, together with life insurance. We offer 30 days’ holiday plus bank holidays and discretionary days’ office closure. Support for CPD and appropriate training will be given.
