Team Vacancy: Speaker Guru

Finding great speakers makes for great talks. CreativeMornings/Edinburgh is looking for someone to join our team of volunteers to help us find amazing guest speakers. Once they’re onboard, your job will then be to give them creative guidance and support in the run up to their talk. 

You will work alongside our Operations team, finding and reaching out to potential speakers to make sure our monthly events continue to be vibrant, diverse and challenging. You’ll then work with each monthly speaker to ensure that their time as part of our community runs smoothly, that they feel looked after and loved, and that their talk is as brilliant and engaging as possible.

Our speakers come from a broad range of experiences and backgrounds, and often are not experienced public speakers or performers. As the Speaker Guru you will collaborate with them to shape their talk ahead of the event, offering suggestions, advice and tips. We are looking for a confident and calming individual who is highly organised and likes meeting new people. 

We will encourage and welcome your input on how you want to shape and steer this role within our overall mission of celebrating Edinburgh as a dynamic and inclusive city whilst promoting creativity for all of us who live here. We would love for you to join our motivated and enthusiastic team, and help our long-running event continue into a bright future.

Ideally team members are able to commit to approximately 10 hours a month, including 4 hours for the event day and monthly team meetings. However this isn’t an absolute requirement, roles can always be shared or reconfigured to fit around you.

Please apply here for this role, or any of the other current team vacancies!
