Applications for this vacancy closed on 28 November 2023 at 12:00PM
Grade 8: £45,585- £54,395 per annum with a possible extension to £59,421.
The University of Oxford is a stimulating work environment, which enjoys an
international reputation as a world-class centre of excellence. Our research
plays a key role in tackling many global challenges, from reducing our carbon
emissions to developing vaccines during a pandemic.
The Senior Events Manager will be organising high-end, high-profile events to
further philanthropic relationships and the strategic philanthropic goals of
the Development Office.
**About the role**
• This is a chance for you to get creative and manage events that wow our

of dinosaurs and elegant receptions in beautiful 15th-century rooms to tours
of cutting-edge vaccine labs and talks with leading academics to engage guests
with world-changing research.
• This is a fast-paced role with lots of demands; you will need to juggle
multiple tasks and events all at the same time.
• Oxford is a world-leading University. The events you create and manage will
be supporting our fundraising priorities for student support, research,
capital projects and much, much more. We are building up to our next
fundraising campaign; the work you do will directly support this and the
fundraising teams to create change for good.
**About you**
• You need to have proven significant experience to deliver high-profile,
high-end, high-stakes events.
• You need to have outstanding planning and organisation skills for our VIP
events – the devil is in the detail!
• We are a tight-knit, supportive team that likes to have fun while we work
hard on lots of exciting and unique events. You need to have a cool head under
pressure, be someone who can communicate at all levels, and be a team player.
