Contract Type: Full-time fixed-term contract, 2 to 20 November 2026 (including the weekend of 14 and 15 November)

About us:

The Earthshot Prize is the world's most prestigious environmental Prize. We exist because 2030 is a critical deadline for our planet, and we're here to celebrate groundbreaking leadership in environmental action, activate the people who can back it, and inspire optimism across the globe.

Our Storytelling team brings this mission to life, sharing the stories of the Prize and our Finalists across media, TV, social, digital, OOH and beyond. We're an ambitious team finding every possible way to tell the biggest story in the world, and to bring urgent optimism to a global audience.

Our 2026 Summit & Awards Night in Mumbai is in November and we're looking to bolster our core team to deliver this.

Job Overview:

We are seeking a London-based digital specialist with expertise in DIT and syndication management to support the Prize as we deliver our 2026 Summit in India. Our production team in Mumbai will capture a large volume of filmed and photographed content.

This role will sit at the heart of that work. You will bring robust systems to ensure efficient delivery, excellent organisational and administrative skills, and a proactive approach to making sure everyone on the team has what they need, when they need it, throughout the Summit.
