Through grant-making and in-house legal expertise, we empower our partners to deliver strategic, innovative legal interventions and we support lawyers in their own countries to bring their own cases. Legal action can unlock the systemic changes in finance, policy and social systems needed to protect all of us from climate change.

From bespoke musical performances to formal dinners and VIP receptions, success in this role comes from meticulous planning, excellent coordination, and the ability to draw on input from colleagues to deliver well-run, high-quality events. You will take ownership of event delivery, manage budgets and logistics, and ensure a professional and seamless experience for all guests. This role will suit someone who thrives in a structured, delivery-focused environment and takes pride in organisation, accuracy and follow-through.
