About the role

UIIN is looking for a hands-on Marketing Associate to support the day-to-day execution of our marketing, communications, and event activities.

This is a role for someone who is accurate, organised, reliable, and comfortable working across recurring marketing tasks, campaigns, and event-related activities.

• Collaborate with colleagues on event branding, promotional content, and communications materials
• Contribute ideas on how to better leverage events as marketing opportunities, strengthening audience engagement and visibility before, during, and after events
• Support community engagement activities to nurture our member network through UIIN’s member community platform

• Strong writing and editing skills in English
• Good organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple ongoing tasks with care and consistency
• Confidence working in a small, fast-moving team environment with a proactive, experimental approach to marketing

About you

You would likely be a strong fit if you are someone who:

• Can move between strategic thinking and practical execution

What we will provide

• A varied and meaningful role at the intersection of research, consulting, and innovation
