About the role

Are you highly organised, detail-oriented and excited to learn? Do you enjoy working with people and being part of a collaborative, international team? Join us from our London office and help deliver programmes that create positive impact across the UK, Europe and beyond. We are looking for a motivated Programme Coordinator to support the delivery of a diverse portfolio of programmes and projects across entrepreneurship, skills, sustainability and social impact. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is keen to develop their project management skills, gain experience across different areas of work and contribute to a range of international initiatives.

You will work closely with colleagues across our global team, supporting programmes from planning and coordination through to implementation, reporting and administration. Your responsibilities may include organising events and workshops, coordinating communications, managing timelines and documentation, supporting participant and partner engagement, tracking data and impact metrics, and helping ensure the smooth day-to-day delivery of programmes. This is a varied role where you will have the opportunity to work across different projects, teams and subject areas. We are looking for someone who is proactive, curious and willing to learn, with excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities. Previous experience in entrepreneurship, acceleration or a specific sector is not required — we value a positive attitude, strong organisational skills and a genuine interest in developing new skills.

You will be part of a supportive, mission-driven and international team, with plenty of opportunities to learn from experienced colleagues, take on increasing responsibility and grow your career at INCO over time.
