Job description

Speaking ops and Trade partnerships specialist - Communication

The role runs a company's speaking programme end to end: handling inbound invitations, pitching leaders to conferences, judging which events are worth it, and negotiating event and trade partnerships. A strong candidate brings a few years in events, speaker management, partnerships or communications, usually in B2B tech or a startup, plus the organisation to manage calendars and logistics across time zones. Comfort with senior executives, organisers and agencies matters, along with the judgement to weigh an opportunity and decline politely.

How it fits the AI era

Much of the coordination work, tracking invitations, keeping a pipeline current and drafting briefing notes, can be sped up with AI tools, freeing time for judgement and relationships. What stays human is the reading of an audience, the negotiation with organisers and the trust built with leaders whose reputations are on the line. The role sits close to computer use agents, so understanding what the product does helps brief speakers well.

How it builds AI experience

Working here means learning how autonomous agents operate software the way people do, which gives a practical grounding in applied AI. That knowledge can be built by studying the company's research and benchmark results and by following the enterprise agent space closely. The experience gained is in explaining technical work to buyers, investors and policymakers rather than in building models.

Worth showing

• Executive briefing and prep
• B2B tech communications
