Join Bright Network as our Events Management Intern!

    Introducing Bright Network

    Bright Network is a high-growth media-technology platform that works exclusively with 1 million of the brightest graduates and undergraduates in the UK and Europe. We’re on a mission to connect our members with exceptional job opportunities, remarkable organisations, and exclusive networking events to help them get noticed in their careers. From Goldman Sachs to TikTok, Slaughter and May to Dyson, we work with the best firms; big and small, blue chip and entrepreneurial - all united by one thing - the desire to find the very best. 

    As we grow and scale, we’re looking for an Events Management Intern to join our fast-paced Events Team over the summer months to support on a number of our fantastic events! 

    The role

    As an Events Management Intern, you’ll join a supportive and collaborative Events Team. The team has two arms, and you’ll be working directly with the Events Management team members on a wide range of projects and responsibilities. We’re an “all-hands-on-deck” team, so you’ll also get the chance to collaborate with the Events Marketing team and other interns to support marketing tasks when needed.

    The ideal candidate will be a student or recent graduate looking for a fully-paid summer internship from May-September 2025. This is a prime opportunity to get some fantastic exposure to a fast-paced events team!

    Specifically, you will be

    • Supporting our Events Managers with end-to-end management of our wide portfolio of annual events (including the virtual Bright Network Internship Experience UK in July and our flagship, hybrid events during our busy September season)
    • Assisting with projects that include overseeing the event application process, organising event logistics, helping curate our Student Leadership Boards and pre-event community engagement in our online community groups on LinkedIn
    • Assisting with post-event data analysis, organising and giving creative input on the creation of promotional materials, event programmes and conducting research for future events. Ultimately contributing to Bright Network’s longer-term strategy 

    Does this sound like you? 

    • You can demonstrate a passion for project management through your extra-curricular involvement or prior relevant work experience (for example in a university or educational setting)
    • You have strong written and verbal communication skills and can be especially charismatic when interacting with high-profile clients and Bright Network members at virtual and in-person events
    • You pride yourself on being a diligent and reliable team player with strong organisational skills and meticulous attention to detail
    • You’re keen to learn and willing to get stuck in to a collaborative team, but also able to use your initiative and work independently within a fast-paced work environment
    • You share Bright Network’s core values of growth mindset, will to win and trusted to deliver, as well as being passionate about the Bright Network mission and helping our Bright Network members
    • You’re adaptable and flexible, particularly when challenges arise – such as managing client expectations and supporting the team with last-minute preparations
    • You are at university/have already graduated and are available to undertake a full-time, paid internship this summer from May to September (a delayed start date of early June may be possible for the right candidate).
    • You’re willing to travel into central London for our in-person events (occasionally outside of normal working hours, particularly during peak events delivery season) and work in the office a minimum of 3 days a week. You’re comfortable with flexibility on when you come into the office and timings.

    What's in it for you, as our future Events Management Intern? 

    • We have recently been awarded the Great Place To Work certification, reflecting our commitment to a positive and supportive workplace culture and recognising our focus on employee satisfaction, inclusivity & work-life balance ⚖️
