THE ROLE 

 The CSJ is looking for an Events Manager to work in our busy Westminster office. The successful candidate will join an existing team of two to help shape and deliver a varied and impactful events programme to grow and sustain the CSJ’s target audience. The Events Manager will also work closely with the Communications team to support our other forms of engagement. 

The post-holder will support delivery of the CSJ’s full events programme and wider engagement activity. You will coordinate policy and public events, support flagship CSJ Foundation activity, help operationalise our conference season, and produce content and post-event assets that amplify our research and policy impact. This is a hands-on role that combines logistics, stakeholder management, simple budget control, and content production. You will be the organiser and the executor who makes things happen on the day and help turn events into measurable policy touchpoints.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES 
Programme Delivery & Events Operations

  • Delivery of CSJ events (policy panels, party conferences, launches, roundtables, awards, caucuses, and internal events).
  • Own day-of operations: Run-sheets, speaker liaison, registration, AV checks, and contingency management.
  • Logistics: Book venues, manage contractors, travel and accommodation, and reconcile event invoices.
  • Budget: Support delivery of fundraising mechanisms including table sales, auctions and donor stewardship and maintain meticulous records of all our events.

Stakeholders, Content & Amplification

  • Act as day-to-day contact for speakers, sponsors and partners; prepare speaker briefs and run rehearsals.
  • Help to produce and support event assets (podcast clips, filmed interviews, post-event summaries and press packs) with the Communications Team.
  • Maintain CRM and event systems (using Salesforce and Excel) and steward MP/partner contact lists.

Reporting, Sponsors & Other

  • Keep the Master Calendar up-to-date and deliver post-event reports (attendance, sponsor fulfilment, media coverage, next steps).
  • Occasional UK travel and out-of-hours work for events
 
THE PERSON 
We are looking for a confident and adaptable professional who thrives in a dynamic environment. You should be able to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and build strong relationships across all levels of the organisation.

·       Experience delivering events of different sizes in a professional setting, with large-scale fundraising or gala-style events (e.g. dinners, auctions, galas) preferred; political sector experience welcomed but not essential

·       Comfortable in building trusted relations both within the CSJ and with its external stakeholders, including confident liaison with high-profile individuals, patrons and talent, with discretion and professionalism

·       Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written

·       Familiar with managing a CRM system

·       An interest in current affairs, politics and the social justice agenda

·       A commitment to the CSJ’s vision, mission and values

·       Meticulous attention to detail, highly organised, calm under pressure and with a high degree of personal integrity

·       A collaborative team player with initiative and a positive can-do attitude
