We are looking for interested first-years to join us as Marketing, Logistics and External Affairs officers. Joining our team is one of the best ways to learn more about these areas of finance (Private Equity, Venture Capital and Hedge Funds). You will help to put together one of the largest student-run events of its kind while being exposed to industry-leading professionals and pioneers in finance and alternative investments. You will also then have a chance to be part of next year's Executive Team, who will host the physical (circumstances permitting) conference in Feb 2022, interfacing with our speakers and corporate sponsors while managing a team of 30 across Marketing, Operations, Logistics and IT/Design.
