This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over‑50s age inclusive jobs board.
Reports to: Senior Programme Manager, Cyber and Tech
Department: Cyber and Tech
Salary range: £35,000 to £45,000 pa based on skills and experience
Location: London Office
Contract: Permanent, Full Time
The Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), based in London, Brussels and Nairobi, is the UK’s leading independent think tank engaged in cutting edge research in defence and security. Its mission is to inform, influence and enhance public debate on a safer and more stable world. RUSI is a research‑led institute, producing independent, practical and innovative analysis to address today’s complex challenges.
As a Programme Manager – Networks and Partnerships for the Cyber and Tech research group, you will be project managing and coordinating events for the Cyber Effects Network. You will also support the management of other projects and events, as well as coordinating the team’s external communications (e.g. newsletters and social media). More broadly, you will develop the Cyber and Tech research group’s ability to engage with the cyber and tech community across governments, industry and civil society.
This professional administrative role plays a critical part in supporting both programme delivery and the team’s research staff and leadership.
Whilst an interest in our area of research is a plus, this role does not itself involve research or policy analysis and is not intended to be a pathway into those positions. Candidates should therefore be motivated by programme coordination, event organisation and operational delivery and excellence.
In collaboration with the Cyber Effects Network lead and other research project leads, support the organisation and delivery of workshops, roundtables and events.
The above list of duties is not exhaustive. The post holder will be required to undertake such duties that may reasonably be expected within the scope and grade of the role.
The successful candidate will be highly organised, detail‑oriented and comfortable multi‑tasking and managing multiple administrative tasks in a fast‑paced, high‑profile environment. This role is particularly suited to candidates seeking opportunities in programme administration, including event management within policy organisations.
We expect all staff to abide by and promote our RUSI's Vision and Values and Equal Opportunities Statement.
Applicants must have the legal right to work in the UK at the time of application.
To apply, please provide the following:
The closing date for applications is 10th May 2026. Early application is encouraged. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
