Events Manager

The Academy of Medical Sciences is establishing a new central events function to provide strategic oversight and practical support across our extensive, high-profile events programme. We are looking for an experienced Events Manager to lead this work.

Managing an Events Officer, you will provide organisation wide leadership for in person, hybrid and digital events - setting standards, strengthening planning and governance, and supporting colleagues from concept through to delivery. You will combine strategic judgement with hands on expertise, ensuring events are well designed, inclusive, professionally delivered and clearly aligned to the Academy's mission and priorities.

This is a highly visible role for someone who enjoys shaping an events portfolio, advising senior stakeholders and delivering outstanding experiences that enhance influence and impact.

The Academy of Medical Sciences sits at the forefront of UK health and biomedical research by bringing together leading expertise to shape policy, drive innovation and improve lives.

We are now building for the future. Through a bold and carefully planned transformation, we are aligning our structure, roles and resources with our ambitions to ensure we are sustainable, focused and ready to deliver even greater impact in the years ahead.

At the heart of this is a new Chief Operating Officer (COO) Directorate, designed to strengthen how we plan, collaborate and deliver across the Academy. Alongside this, we are reshaping parts of our organisation so that our people and resources are focused where they matter most - supporting our Fellowship and the wider medical sciences community.

This is a rare moment to join. You'll be part of an organisation with real momentum, working alongside outstanding colleagues and partners, and helping to shape how a respected national institution evolves.

If you want your work to be purposeful, visible and impactful - and to play a role in advancing medical science and improving health - we would love to hear from you.
