These positions are only open to those studying at the University of Warwick

Content Director

The Content Team’s key task is the selection and preparation of all speakers. This role would be suitable for you if you are an excellent researcher and are confident and committed to the ethos of TED. Other responsibilities include speaker preparation and speaker hospitality, working closely with all speakers to make sure all arrangements are met and content is rehearsed to ensure speakers give the best talk of their life.

Content is responsible for suggesting and contacting potential speakers for the main TEDxWarwick conference and for the two TEDxWarwick salon events.

Corporate Relations Director

The Corporate Relations Team focuses on creating and maintaining strong partnership relations with sponsors and with the press. This is an ongoing process throughout the year and requires applicants who are committed to working intimately with our sponsors and press contacts.

Creative Director

The Creative Team focuses on creating all graphical and visual elements for upcoming TEDxWarwick events. There are various aspects covered within the Creative Team, which include, but are not limited to digital photography, shooting and editing video footage, creating posters and flyers for marketing, stage and magazine design, and TEDxWarwick merchandise creation to a professional standard.

Marketing Director

The Marketing team works towards moulding the public perception and the branding of TEDxWarwick, in and around the Warwick community, through the promotion of our event as well as the TED ethos. The framework and focus of our outreach effort binds us closely with the rest of the team, in particular Media and Creative.

Operations Director

The Operations Team is responsible for the flawless execution of TEDxWarwick 2021. This includes, and is not limited to organising the venue, catering, ticketing and volunteer management. You will be working closely with the other TEDxWarwick teams to ensure that all logistics and operations are in order, and all our events run smoothly.

Publications Director

We successfully introduced the TEDxWarwick Magazine in 2014 and have issued it every year since. Therefore, we are looking for Publication Directors that will lead our publications team, which is responsible for editing and curating the content of the TEDxWarwick 2021 magazine and blog. They include information and articles about the main event, history of the society, salon events, past and future speakers- basically anything that might be relevant to TEDxWarwick.

Technical Director

The Technical team is responsible for the design and maintenance of our website, as well as various technical aspects of the live events. We work closely with the Creative and Marketing teams, and in particular liaise with departments of the University and the Warwick Arts Centre in the run-up to our main event.

Treasurer

At TEDxWarwick, the Treasurer is a combined administrative and treasurer role. Our Treasurer is responsible for ensuring the smooth running of the administrative side of the event organising process. Duties include strict budget management, scheduling meetings, aiding Corporate Relations with sponsorship, taking detailed and accurate minutes, ensuring deadlines are kept to and liaising with the Warwick SU on administrative and financial matters. As an individual role, you will act as the first point of contact for everyone in the society regarding society funds and must be able to make executive decisions for the financial security of the conference.
