The University is looking to appoint an additional **Conference & Events Officer** on a open-ended basis, to support the ongoing delivery and development of its highly-successful commercial conferencing and events enterprise.

The **Technology** **&** **Innovation** **Centre** **(TIC)** **is the University’s flagship research facility, opened by HM The Queen in July 2015. TIC is home to £11m of dedicated, flexible conferencing facilities, and has quickly established itself as one the country’s most popular venues for business events and academic meetings, hosting more than 700 events and 41,000 delegates in academic year 2018/19 alone. Now into its fifth full year of operation, the venue won the Bronze award for UK **Best** **Academic** **Venue** **at the Meetings & Incentive Travel awards magazine in March 2019; was named **Best** **Academic** **Venue** **at the CHS Awards in June 2019; **Best Scottish Venue & Events Team** **at the E Awards in 2023 and is a proud holder of **Green** **Tourism** **Gold** **accreditation.

The Conference and Events Officer is key to the success of a sustainable and profitable commercial conferencing business.

Some events may be very large and/or complex, and they **may be hosted on campus and/or online**. The post-holder will be required to draw on their experience and initiative, as well as being knowledgeable and confident about the client’s requirements, the facilities available on-campus and the functionality of our online event platform.

The Officer line manages and is supported by a **Conference Operations team** on a day-to-day basis, and is responsible for co-ordinating the input required from other operational teams to support the business, e.g. TIC Operations, Catering, Information Services, Estates Services.

The Officer is responsible for **developing, implementing and monitoring systems and processes** which effectively support customer-focused event delivery of the highest quality, both in the venue and online, in line with TIC’s ambition to be a world-class research and knowledge exchange facility.

In addition, the post-holder works with the Business Development team, the Conference Operations Manager, the Conference Services Manager and the Head of Conferencing and Events on the **continuous improvement and operational and strategic development of the conferencing product** at Strathclyde, to ensure that it remains fresh, profitable and relevant in the business tourism marketplace.

Formal interviews for this post will be held on a date to be confirmed.
