Fixed-Term Event Manager (1-to 2-Month Fixed-term Contract)

Vacancy: GP’s client services are based on a diverse range of on-campus marketing strategies. Event Managers at GP deliver and coordinate the varying events and installations we execute on behalf of our clients.

The role requires excellent communication skills together with the confidence and gravitas to interface with a diverse range of individuals. You will need to be proactive, an on-the-go problem solver and have a logical and hands-on approach to your work in our team-oriented culture. You should have an engaging personality, a strong sense of professionalism and the staying power to be able to give your best on every project you work on.

Part of your role will also be to maintain and develop GP’s relationships with our contacts at continental European universities and other relevant institutions.
