Maintain the editorial calendar to ensure the publication meets its production and launch schedules, including the inaugural release and subsequent milestones. Ensure all submissions adhere to the programme’s style guides and technical specifications.

2. Stakeholder Engagement & Partnership Support

Assist the Project Leads (e.g. in meetings with existing and prospective partners) by preparing briefing notes, project updates, and presentation materials. Provide professional follow-up support after partnership meetings, ensuring that action items are tracked, minutes are recorded, and requested information is dispatched promptly to partners. Assist in the outreach to new potential industry or policy-making partners to expand the reach and impact of the three programme initiatives.

3. Event Operations

Oversee speaker briefings and post-event engagement activities for the webinar series. Execute logistical planning for the high-level Breakfast Dialogues. This includes venue liaison, C-suite guest list management, and on-site support. Maintain professional correspondence with institutional partners and senior executive speakers.

4. Strategic Impact and Content Support

Support the Project Leads by compiling raw impact data, such as publication downloads and dialogue feedback, to assist in the preparation of strategic progress reports for the Dean’s Office. Provide drafting support to ensure the thematic insights of the initiatives are accurately reflected for the policy-making, industry, and education communities.

Requirement:

Bachelor’s degree in Business, Human Resources, Communications, or a related Social Science discipline. Applications from current students with relevant skills are welcome. Strong project management abilities with a meticulous eye for detail. Ability to synthesise meeting discussions into actionable next steps. Editorial experience is highly preferred.
