The Russia and Eurasia Programme (REP) at Chatham House has a long-established reputation for independent and timely analysis, and for its contribution to the public debate on the post-Soviet spaces of Russia, Central Asia, the South Caucasus and the wider Black Sea. REP is an internationally recognized and respected programme that runs rigorous research projects, publishes original research and organises a lively and varied series of events on political, security, economic, energy and human rights issues in this complex region.

The Programme seeks an experienced, highly motivated and organised individual to manage its portfolio of projects and activities.

The Programme Coordinator is responsible for coordinating research projects, organising events, financial administration and the publications schedule. Candidates will need to demonstrate their ability to juggle a varied and demanding schedule. A minimum of three years experience of project, financial and events administration is essential, as is a broad knowledge of the politics of the post-Soviet space (probably to Master's degree level). The successful candidate will also possess excellent management, interpersonal and research skills. Fluent Russian is also a significant advantage.

The Members Events team runs events specifically for Chatham House corporate and individual members. With over 150 events a year, the programme covers current issues in international affairs as they arise and develop. These events provide a forum where world leaders, policy-makers and opinion formers can be heard and their views discussed in an impartial environment. 

We are looking for an intellectually curious, persuasive and well-organized individual to head up the team and to have full responsibility for the planning and delivery of the Members Events programme. An in-depth knowledge of international affairs and experience of working in the international policy world are essential. Experience in running events and team management would also be crucial.

Drawing in part on the knowledge of Chatham House research staff and its networks, you will identify suitable topics and secure speakers to deliver a well-balanced programme of events. You will also oversee their marketing and on-the-day organization, including security and protocol. The workload is demanding, often involving unsocial hours, and the ability to handle several projects at once is essential.
