An exciting opportunity to shape the future of Ri events and engage a wide range of diverse audiences

The Royal Institution runs a year-round programme of inspirational public science talks from the world’s greatest thinkers. Pre-pandemic these were all in-person events in our theatre, now the programme includes in-person, hybrid and online events. This has meant we have been able to engage with a wider and more diverse audience which we look to expand further. 

We are looking for a Senior Science Talks Producer as the external face of the Ri, to develop, curate, host and manage innovative STEM events which are fascinating, entertaining, scientific and inclusive and which will grow our audiences.  You will collaborate with the Demo team and Heritage team to ensure the programme has a distinctive Ri quality and the Digital, Marketing and Fundraising team to support the publicity of the programme, ticket sales and develop partnership and sponsorship opportunities.

Are you a confident and engaging public speaker with experience of hosting and/or chairing events, ideally both in-person and online? 

Do you have;

• Experience in designing and producing live events and public programmes ideally in-person and online
• An up-to-date knowledge of a broad range of STEM topics
• Exceptional client relationship management skills able to develop and draw upon a wide network of contacts to devise and deliver events
• Excellent communication skills and ability to talk to and engage with a variety of audiences
• Experience and skills in working under pressure with structured yet flexible approach
• Experience in budget management

If so, we’d love to hear from you.
