Purpose of the post

We are looking for an outstanding events producer to join our forward-thinking, friendly, and driven team. We are a business-minded, mission-led organisation motivated by our social and commercial goals. We exist to support our members to deliver a world class education and impactful research.

This post has been created at an exciting time for the Association. The Events Producer will play a key role in developing and delivering CPD events, development programmes and webinars as part of our new CPD scheme for business school educators – the Certified Management & Business Educator (CMBE).

The CMBE scheme has been created in response to demand from our members to meet the need to provide continuous professional development (CPD) and recognition for university teaching staff. Business is the most popular subject for students studying in the UK and there is increasing pressure on universities to deliver and demonstrate higher standards of teaching. We have taken the initiative in the sector to support university business schools and lecturers to develop and enhance their teaching provision.

The candidate will have experience in researching and developing content for event programmes or other learning & development and CPD activities. For example, this experience may include roles across conference production, developing educational courses and programmes, or producing learning & development content.

In addition to developing face-to-face provision and webinars, the post-holder will have the opportunity to work in collaboration with academics to develop a new portfolio of other online CPD content and resources such as video and articles.

Examples of events you would be producing could include, for example, a series of workshops on ‘teaching with technology’; webinars on ‘effective student engagement’; and events on ‘innovative learning and teaching methods’. If you think you can develop our portfolio of events and CPD provision, we would love to hear from you.

Applicants must have the right to work in the UK.
