As the civic university of the City of London, City St George's is proud to host the Finsbury Institute - a new outward-facing hub for research and practice in policy. Following the appointment of its Director in April 2025, we are now looking for an Events and Engagement Manager to become the driving force behind the Finsbury Institute's internal and public-facing activities, helping to shape and deliver a vibrant programme of events, communications and stakeholder engagement.

Excellent event sales, planning and operational skills are essential, as is the ability to be customer-focused. This role would particularly suit someone with an entrepreneurial mindset, who thrives in a start up environment, is comfortable taking the initiative and enjoys shaping new ideas into tangible outcomes.
