    • Ensure use of the most effective and efficient event planning, workflows and delivery tools and processes which are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect best practice.
    • Develop effective event monitoring and evaluation procedures to ensure maximum return on investment and support a culture of continuous improvement.

    • Manage customer and other event-related data to ensure we are capturing, using and reporting on data effectively and compliantly before, during and after events.
    • Ensure our event activity is in line with OUP's current legal, compliance and financial procedures.
    We operate a hybrid working policy that requires a minimum of 2 days per week in the Oxford office. This role will have the opportunity to attend external events from time to time.
