- Strong proficiency in Microsoft Office (especially Outlook, Word and Excel)
- Experience with virtual event platforms such as Webex and Zoom
- Confidence working with registration systems and event data
Working Pattern
- 37.5 hours per week, 7.5 hours per day
- Hybrid working: 1 day per week onsite (Egham area), 4 days remote
- Full‑time contract running until 31 December 2026
If you enjoy behind‑the‑scenes event delivery, love precision, and want exposure to large‑scale international conferences, this is a brilliant opportunity.
