**About the role:
Holyrood Events is looking for a motivated team player with an interest in policy and politics, and who has an excellent attention to detail to join our team of Event Producers. The Producer will lead on researching, curating, and delivering a portfolio of events in a variety of formats, such as conferences, round tables, breakfast briefings and party conference fringe events. Holyrood’s events are largely in-person, but occasionally hybrid or virtual. This is a multifaceted role within the events team, majoring on research, stakeholder, and project management. Holyrood’s events tackle topical issues around Scottish public policy and are typically aimed at a political or public and third sector audience. The Producer will build on the success of annual events, and also research and create new event programmes.

The event producer is responsible for working with clients to ensure their contribution is of the highest quality. The post holder will be responsible for managing and maximising engagement with specialist expert steering groups for one or more topics.

Using the relationships built with event partners and high-profile speakers, the Event Producer will work to enrich event content-led marketing by linking relevant policy announcements, thought leadership commentary and research, to help attract delegates and sponsors to our events.
