Events Assistant

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

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

We also own WB Directors (Women on Boards), 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 WB Directors has been its lively programme of workshops, masterclasses and networking events.

This new Events Assistant role will initially focus on supporting the events programme for WB Directors. From January 2026, the two premium memberships Nurole Plus and WB Directors 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.
