About the Role
As a Graduate Trainee here at Reuters Events, you will:
Get involved in researching, producing, marketing and selling our events (you’ll have a ‘seat’ in each role for a period of time, depending on business need).
Speak to senior executives on the phone regarding a range of topics including speaking at our events, attending our events, and research feedback or ideas for future events.
Gain a solid grounding in hot business issues and help develop marketing campaigns.
Some administration and support will be required, working as a team to deliver great products to our range of global customers.
About You

Have an interest in how world events can impact different industries.
Enjoy collaborating as part of a team and taking responsibility for your own work.
Thrive in a fast-paced, supportive, high-growth environment.

Like the idea of identifying new and interesting business trends and spotting where we can develop great events that senior businesspeople can’t afford to miss.
To clarify, you don’t need to have experience in conferences (or events!). We look for people who have done interesting things with their time, who want to grow and develop, rather than those who just have good qualifications.
Closing date for applications is 11.59pm on the 30th April 2025.
We will be holding an assessment day at our office in Canary Wharf on Thursday 22nd May.
