Event & Content Executive, The Whitehall & Industry Group
The Whitehall & Industry Group (WIG), a registered charity, is an independent, not-for-profit corporate membership organisation. Our philosophy is underpinned by our values: Creative, Open-minded and Trusted.
Our charitable purpose of promoting mutual understanding between the sectors is delivered through a range of activities in the following three areas:
• Events and networks – briefings, roundtables, workshops and conferences to explore latest policy and share best practice from the public, private and not-for-profit sectors;
• Talent – offering the transfer of experience and expertise to another sector through mentoring, secondments, Non-Executive appointments and charity Trustee roles;
• Leadership – developing leadership skills at all career levels in a cross-sector environment.
Reporting to the Director of Strategic Engagement, the role is a unique opportunity to take responsibility for the delivery of a diverse portfolio of physically and digitally delivered events and content. The programme features senior speakers across topics such as Infrastructure, the Economy, Digital & Technology and International Affairs.
WIG delivers over 100 digital and physical events a year, tackling issues of importance to business, government and the not-for-profit sector. Our briefings, workshops, roundtables and conferences attract over 7,000 attendees annually. Delegates are able to explore and share best practice with those from other sectors and hear from and debate with first-class speakers. The Event & Content Executive will support on logistical coordination, and delivery for a significant proportion of the portfolio.
