Role Overview
techUK is looking for an energetic, commercially-minded Programme Manager to grow our international trade programme, helping UK tech companies find opportunities overseas through trade missions, delegations, and a strong events programme. This is an outward-facing role blending member engagement, business development, and stakeholder management - ideal for someone who enjoys building networks and making things happen rather than a policy specialist. No two weeks look the same, from leading trade show delegations to hosting ministerial roundtables and connecting with prospective members.
Role Purpose
The Programme Manager will help deliver techUK's international trade programme by supporting members expand internationally, building strategic relationships across government and industry, delivering high-quality events and delegations, and contributing to the programme's commercial growth. The role will also play an important part in ensuring members understand and benefit from the UK's international trade agenda, including Free Trade Agreements and wider international market opportunities.
Key Responsibilities:
- Programme Delivery
- Lead the delivery of a portfolio of international trade programmes covering key global markets and thematic areas.
- Design and deliver a high-quality programme of member events, roundtables, webinars and international engagements.
- Plan and deliver international trade missions, commercial delegations and inward missions, including logistics, stakeholder engagement and programme development.
- Develop new initiatives that help members access international markets and grow exports.
- Identify opportunities to expand techUK's international engagement through new partnerships and activities.
- Member Engagement
- Build strong relationships with techUK members, understanding their international priorities and connecting them with relevant opportunities.
- Act as the primary contact for members participating in your programmes and international activities.
- Work proactively with new members to maximise engagement and retention.
- Support business development by identifying prospective members and demonstrating the value of techUK's international work.
- Support recruitment of new members, as well as member retention and satisfaction.
