We’re looking for an organised and proactive project officer who’s able to lead and deliver one of our flagship programmes, the Green Gown Awards, in the UK & Ireland and internationally. The Green Gown Awards are an annual award scheme that recognise exceptional sustainability initiatives undertaken by the world’s universities and colleges. They are run by the Environmental Association for Universities and Colleges (EAUC) alongside other partners. It’s an exciting time for the Green Gown Awards – we’re celebrating our 20th anniversary in the UK & Ireland and 10th anniversary globally.

You’ll manage all aspects of the awards programme to maintain and increase its reach, quality, accessibility and impact. This will include running the day-to-day administration of the awards, ensuring that our processes are fit-for-purpose. We are also looking for someone with fantastic people skills who can effectively coordinate our work with a wide range of partners and sponsors to ensure that the awards meet our joint objectives. 

You’ll be able to create high quality, accessible and impactful communications which help us achieve our goals and provide an excellent experience for our applicants and wider stakeholders. You will also bring your creativity and strategic thinking skills to growing the awards programme further and spotting new opportunities. A key part of this will be proactively planning a package of communications and events that bring visibility to the awards through the year and showcase the wealth of stories and case studies from applicants. 

You will be flexible, self-led, able to work remotely and happy to work with colleagues to support wider organisation activities and targets. Our work is rarely linear so you’ll also be comfortable in rapidly evolving and dynamic environments.
