Program Director - one of the most important events for the 21st century!

If you are an experienced conference director with a passion for sustainability and de-accelerating the climate crisis, then this opportunity is a dream come true!

Rarely as a conference producer does one get the opportunity to influence the future of the world with an event. But that is exactly what this role will be doing - shaping the framework of conversation to influence policy, stakeholders and industry leaders and experts into how to create a sustainable future for us all.

The Role

Free from the burden of managing people, you will be creating a content platform that supports and surrounds a portfolio of world-changing events. As the world has changed over the last year, event producers have had to move with the times and be just as capable of running engaging digital events as those huge live event experiences. You will be creating a 2 year event strategy and building a program of content around some of the biggest events in the sustainability calendar.

You

At your happiest when you can shape the content, speakers and feel of an event, whilst managing the delicate balance between commercial viability and industry relevance. You flourish in environments where you can work independently and will love having the support of a team who are united in their passion for sustainability and wanting to play their part in creating a better world. Coming from a background in creating engaging content for conferences and events around topics including Clean Energy, Renewables, Sustainable Cities, Built Environment or ESG would be ideal but if not, a passion for the Sustainability sector and a deep knowledge of the component parts affecting the degradation of the planet is key.

The Organisation

This events business has led the pack by producing some of the most important global events surrounding climate change since their inception. With a growing team and lots of growth planned for the future, you will be able to grow your career significantly over the next few years by heralding the content side of this dynamic, agile and flexible organisation as the focus and need for climate intervention strategies increases. With a stellar reputation and strong network of contacts, the foundations are laid for huge growth potential and exciting opportunities!
