The scientific programme is one of the core strands of the Royal Society’s work and this role will primarily focus on the planning and delivery of its programme of scientific meetings. Working with the Senior Scientific Programmes Officer, the post holder will lead on a portfolio of activities bringing together outstanding international scientists to advance scientific knowledge and generate new ideas. We host around 30 international, two-day meetings a year at Carlton House Terrace and residential settings in the UK. These meetings will be held as hybrid, in-person or virtual meetings.
Proven experience of delivering complex high-profile events is essential, as is an ability to quickly build strong working relationships with internal colleagues and external partners at all levels. The successful candidate will demonstrate exceptional organisation and communication skills and be used to managing competing priorities and expectations. Experience in working with scientists or academics would be advantageous.
The post holder will also be expected to contribute to other projects and events outside their remit to support the team’s activities as a whole, if required.
