London, United Kingdom AFME Full time
DescriptionAFME is the leading trade association for the wholesale banking industry in Europe focussing on a wide range of markets and banking regulation issues and offering a pan-European perspective.  

On behalf of our members, AFME engages in a constructive dialogue with regulators and legislators across Europe and advocates the industry’s views in the media, at conferences, events and through publications and other channels. Our events play a key role in AFME’s work, bringing together our members, other parts of the industry, politicians, regulators and the media to discuss issues and to share views.

We host an annual programme of approximately 25 events each year with a strong focus on high-quality content. Combined, these attract over 250 speakers, 5000 delegates and are held in major European cities such as Amsterdam, Barcelona, Brussels, Frankfurt, London, and Madrid. The team also organises smaller seminars, dinners, and webinars throughout the year. For many members, these events are the only time they come into direct contact with AFME so the quality of member experience, the value of the content and the planning and execution must be of the highest standards.

We are looking for an Events Graduate to work alongside our event managers and administrators on a wide range of projects. You will get the opportunity to assist the team on their events and gain understanding of the complete planning process.
