Job summary

We are recruiting an Events Officer to work in the Development and Alumni Relations Office (DARO) to deliver creative, sector leading events. The Events Officer has responsibility for delivering both in-person and online events for our global community of alumni, donors and volunteers.  From our mass engagement ‘Bringing Birmingham to You’ event series, to bespoke events hosted by senior members of University staff, and stewardship events to thank our donors and volunteers at all levels, the Events Officer will ensure a high-quality, engaging, and tailored experience for alumni, donors, volunteers, and VIPs. 

You will contribute to a busy programme of events in the lead up to the close of our fundraising and volunteering campaign, Birmingham in Action. You will have the opportunity to shape a creative and impactful programme which engages our alumni and supporters with the University.

We’re looking for a highly organised individual with significant experience of delivering events, the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and a good attitude to working under pressure. You’ll have excellent written and verbal communication skills and be adept at managing your time well.

You will be provided with a robust induction and an ongoing training program that will include support from the University and internal colleagues. DARO is an ambitious office, and we support our team to succeed. We believe there is no such thing as a typical member of staff and that diversity is a source of strength that underpins the exchange of ideas, innovation, and debate. We warmly welcome people from all backgrounds and are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where diversity is at the heart of who and what we are, and how we work.
