Events Manager (Academic)

Permanent, Full Time (35 hours)
The British Academy – the UK’s national body for the humanities and social sciences - is seeking an Events Manager (Public) to join the Communications and Marketing department to devise and deliver the year-round programme of stimulating, creative and varied public events.
The Role.
The Events Manager (Academic) will be responsible for the management and delivery of the British Academy’s year-round programme of academic events (Conferences, Lectures and Prizes & Medals) as well as overseeing specialist audience events (such as policy/public affairs events).
The role holder will work closely with the Head of Events on the planning and strategic development of the programme, overseeing the annual call for proposals for conferences, the biennial selection process for lectures and the nomination and selection process of prizes and medals.
The Events Manager (Academic) will manage academic partners at institutions across the UK, and lead on the organisation and successful delivery of events online and in person (in London and at regional partner venues).
You will be someone who thrives on delivering live events aimed at academic or specialist audiences, has a passion for sharing academic research and has the skills to ensure events are delivered effectively and of the highest quality.
You will have experience in managing and developing people, whether directly managing staff or leading on a task or dotted line basis. A core part of this role is working in partnership with teams across the organisation, and so we are looking for someone who is collegiate, flexible, and understands how to build positive working relationships across a diverse range of skillsets and experiences.
You will be joining at a time of exciting change, with construction about to begin on three brand-new, state-of-the-art events spaces at our home on Carlton House Terrace. You will be instrumental in programming the opening and ongoing programme for this new development.

The Academy currently has five directorates: Communications & Marketing; Development; Policy; Research; and Resources, plus a small Governance & Fellowship Team. We have increased staffing in the last 12 months and expect to continue to grow this year.
Working At The Academy.
Our senior management team have worked with staff to foster a culture of collaboration, respect, and empathy, in which all contributions are recognised as we work towards our common goals. Our people strategy and working practices focus on building strengths and sharing insights, with learning & development, wellbeing, and equality, diversity & inclusion at the centre of how we operate as an organisation. Investing in our staff and encouraging a healthy work/life balance is central to our success, as we move forward and continue to grow.
Terms and Conditions.
The British Academy is based at 10-11, Carlton House Terrace, London SW1, a Grade 1 listed building.
