Job opportunities at Brighton Chamber

Membership & Events Coordinator

Brighton Chamber is at the heart of the city’s business community, bringing people together to meet, learn and grow. We’re looking for a Membership and Events Coordinator to join our small, friendly team and help deliver an exceptional experience for our members.

This is a varied and fast-paced role where no two days are the same. You’ll be involved in everything from preparing for events to supporting marketing campaigns, managing membership admin, engaging with members and helping our projects run smoothly. It’s a great opportunity to get stuck in, learn how a busy organisation operates and see the real impact of your work.

You’ll work closely with the Chamber team to make sure things happen on time and to a high standard - whether that’s organising event logistics, keeping systems up to date, or helping promote members. You’ll have plenty of support and training, and you’ll quickly become an important part of a team that’s collaborative, kind and passionate about Brighton’s business community.

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Organised, accurate and methodical – the kind of person who doesn’t miss a detail.
• Friendly, confident and great with people – you’ll chat to members in person, by phone and online.
• A strong communicator – comfortable writing engaging emails, web content and social posts.
• Proactive and reliable – happy to take initiative and juggle multiple projects with a smile.
• A team player – we’re a small team that supports one another to get things done.

You’ll be fully supported with training and guidance. This is a brilliant opportunity if you want to learn how a business works, grow your skills, and make an impact on Brighton’s thriving business community.

Our members and our events are purposefully welcoming, supportive and inclusive for all – and the same goes for our team, too. We value diverse experiences, perspectives and backgrounds. If you’re considering a career change or you’re not sure you meet every single requirement, but are excited about the role and our work, we encourage you to apply.

A full job description and person specification is available here.

How to apply

To apply, please send your CV (maximum of two pages) and a covering letter (max of one page) which tells us how your skills and experience match those required for the role, to Hannah Withey at hannah@brightonchamber.co.uk

Applications close on Sunday 7 December at midnight, and interviews will take place the week of 15 December at PLATF9RM Brighton.

Why join us?

• Work in the beating heart of Brighton’s business community. You’ll be ‘in the know’ about what’s happening (or what’s planned) in Brighton, and really get to know the city and its businesses. 
• This is a job with instant impact – you’ll be helping businesses, charities, and social enterprises every day to meet, learn and grow. 
• Our HQ is at PLATF9RM, a fun and friendly co-working and office space in the heart of Brighton. After three months, some hybrid working is available but most of this role is office or event based.  
• Opportunities to develop and grow – we’re a small team but we work hard to create opportunities for the team to develop their skills, push themselves out of their comfort zone and get new experiences. 
• Build your own professional network in Brighton. 

Brighton Chamber is a not-for-profit independent membership organisation. We help businesses by creating a space to meet, learn and grow through our carefully curated events programme, thoughtfully made introductions and support for every business.
