We are looking for a part-time Events Manager who can organise large and small events, online and in-person, with flair and reliability.

The postholder will organise in-person events and conferences, including sourcing venues, using our system to set up booking pages, taking bookings and payments, and liaising with supporters/sponsors, as well as arranging online conferences, and creating materials and post event evaluations for BUFDG, while supporting the wider PHES organisation where appropriate.

The postholder reports to the BUFDG Head of Operations and Engagement, but will work with all other members of the team when delivering events. This role has no line management responsibilities but will work closely with the Support Officer and the Learning and Development Manager, and help with smaller online events, if required. You will interact with various stakeholders, and be the lead contact for contracts, venue staff, and conference teams at host venues and universities. The role requires your strategic input and decision making into how the events should be run.

BUFDG is the representative membership body supporting higher education finance staff in the UK. Our members are the Directors of Finance and Chief Financial Officers (and their staff) of almost all UK higher education institutions. BUFDG is one of the higher education (H E) associations within the non-profit making company, Professional HE Services Ltd (PHES). We provide support, networking opportunities, and professional development to our members, helping them to excel in their roles and contribute to the success of their institutions.

This role will be home based but will include some UK travel, including conferences, monthly BUFDG team meetings in London or Loughborough, twice-yearly PHES meetings in the Loughborough area, and occasional overnight stays.

This is a part-time position, working between 0.6 and 0.8 FTE.

We will offer a competitive salary between £36,130 - £45,413 pro-rata, dependent on qualifications and experience. A defined contribution pension scheme is offered with 7.5% employee and 16% employer contribution rates, together with life insurance. We offer 30 days’ holiday pro rata plus bank holidays and discretionary days’ office closure. Support for CPD and appropriate training will be given.

We are committed to equality of opportunity, to eliminating discrimination and to creating an inclusive working environment for all. We therefore encourage candidates to apply irrespective of age, disability, marriage or civil partnership status, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion and belief, gender identity, sex, or sexual orientation.
