  • Team Leadership & Collaboration

  • Work cross-functionally with marketing, sales, and operations teams to align content with sponsorship goals, promotional campaigns, and audience engagement strategies.
  • Communicate progress, challenges, and needs effectively to stakeholders and participate in regular show team meetings.
  • Event Execution

  • Ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience for attendees, speakers, and stakeholders.
  • Oversee temporary staff managing speaker-ready rooms or green rooms onsite.

  • Great community : a welcoming culture with in-person and online social events, our fantastic Walk the World charity day and active colleague groups and networks promoting a positive, supportive, and collaborative work environment
  • Broader impact : take up to four days per year to volunteer, with charity match funding available too
  • Career opportunity : the opportunity to develop your career with bespoke training and learning, mentoring platforms and on-demand access to thousands of courses on LinkedIn Learning. When it’s time for the next step, we encourage and support internal job moves
  • Time out : 15 days PTO rising to 20 after three years and 25 after six years, plus 10 national holidays, a birthday leave day and the chance to work from (almost!) anywhere for up to four weeks a year
  • Competitive benefits, including a 401k match, health, vision and dental insurance, parental leave and an ESPP offering company shares at a minimum 15% discount
  • Strong wellbeing support through EAP assistance, mental health first aiders, free access to a wellness app and more
