With our new Design for Life strategy we are embarking on the next chapter in our 260 years’ strong history of social impact, with a range of interventions to unite people and ideas to turn world changing ideas into world changing actions.
The Opportunity
We’re looking for an Events Producer to join our ambitious public events team and help us achieve real impact.
The RSA Public Events programme is a powerful public resource, bringing world-leading ideas and inspiration to global audiences, and featuring world-class speakers - leading public thinkers, policy influencers, changemakers and innovators who are shaping new movements for positive social change. We are the team behind the award-winning RSA Animates and RSA Shorts series, and our event videos, podcasts and animations are followed by over 770,000 YouTube subscribers. In this role, you’ll take responsibility for end-to-end production of a range of public events, including keynote lectures, festival talks, panel discussions and “in conversation” events, as well as for researching and developing new content and new formats for public engagement. This is an exciting time for events as new online and hybrid formats create new opportunities to unlock learning and creativity in more people than ever before.
This role is based from RSA House in London for at least three days per week, with hybrid flexibility for the remaining days.
