• Help organise member committees, working groups and roundtables, including agendas, papers, logistics and timely follow-up.
• Maintain trackers, workplans, and other materials that help the team manage priorities and deliver projects effectively.
• Build constructive relationships with colleagues and member firms and engage professionally with external stakeholders.
• Turn technical material into accessible messages for non-specialist audiences.
• Contribute flexibly across the team as priorities and opportunities develop.

What are we looking for

• A keen interest in capital markets, financial services and public policy, and enthusiasm for building technical knowledge.

• Good organisation and attention to detail, with the ability to prioritise work and meet deadlines.
• A proactive and dependable approach, including knowing when to work independently and when to seek guidance.

• A degree, equivalent qualification or evidence of degree-level critical thinking. We welcome applications from candidates with relevant professional experience gained through different routes.
• Clear, accurate drafting and confidence using Word and PowerPoint and sound working knowledge across Microsoft Office applications.
