We're going through an extended period of growth and are in the process of international expansion having already expanded into the German market, meaning there is no better time to join us – especially as an Events Management Intern!

The Role:

As an Events Management Intern, you'll join a supportive and collaborative Events Team. The team has two arms, and you'll be working directly with the Events Management team members on a wide range of projects & responsibilities. We're an all-hands-on-deck team, so you'll also get the chance to collaborate with the Event Marketing team and other interns to support with marketing tasks when needed.

The ideal candidate will be a student or recent graduate looking for a fully-paid summer internship from May– September 2023. This is a prime opportunity to get some fantastic exposure to a fast-paced events team!

Specifically, you will be:

• Assisting with projects that include overseeing the event application process, organising event logistics, helping curate our Student Leadership Boards and pre-event community engagement in our online community groups (Guild)
• Representing Bright Network at virtual and in-person events – interacting with both clients and students
• Managing the events inbox by responding to enquiries from students and firms with questions about upcoming events
• Organising and giving creative input on the creation of promotional materials and event programmes
• Assisting our Events Project Co-ordinator with post-event data analysis
• Conducting research for future events and having the opportunity to contribute to longer-term strategy in the wider company
• Working on a team that is always looking to share ideas, innovate and support progression

• You have strong written and verbal communication skills and could be especially charismatic when interacting with high-profile clients and Bright Network members

• You're keen to learn and willing to get stuck in by sharing ideas regularly, trying new projects and getting to grips with new software

• Excited to work in a collaborative team, but also able to use your initiative and work independently within a fast-paced work environment
