Events Assistant

Since its launch in 2014, our client has transformed the way organisations bring the best people onto their boards. By combining technology with human insight, they disrupt traditional search methods to deliver stronger and more diverse shortlists for every role.

Alongside their search platform, they have built a premium membership community for over 1,000 serving and aspiring board members. Through networking, knowledge-sharing and expert-led workshops, they help members develop their board careers and make a greater impact in the boardroom.

They also own a thriving membership organisation that has spent over a decade supporting thousands of professionals to secure their first or next board role. A cornerstone of this has been its lively programme of workshops, masterclasses and networking events.

This new Events Assistant role will initially focus on supporting the events programmes. From January 2026, the two premium memberships will be combining to create one powerful community for board leaders. At this point, the Events Assistant role will transition to support the events offering for this new, combined membership.
