Job summary

H Company, based in Paris, builds autonomous AI agents for the enterprise and runs a global speaking programme. You will own the end-to-end speaker calendar, coordinate with leaders, conferences and media partners, and drive partnerships across France, the UK, the US and Europe.

Ideal candidates have 2–6 years in events or partnerships, native English, excellent communication, and a keen interest in AI. The role is hybrid, with in-person presence in Paris several days a week.

Qualifications

• 2 to 6 years of experience in events, speaker management, partnerships, communications or business development.
• Native-level English with excellent written and spoken communication. French is a plus.
• Strong relationship-building skills and comfort dealing with senior executives, organisers and agencies.
• Highly organised, with attention to detail and reliable follow-through, since you will manage calendars and logistics across several time zones.
• Good commercial judgement: you can weigh an opportunity, negotiate terms and say no politely.
• A genuine interest in AI, and the ability to learn enough about our technology to brief a speaker and hold your own with organisers.
• Nice to have: experience at a speaker bureau, conference or trade-show organiser, or in executive communications.
• What success looks like: within 6 months, H has a clear, prioritised speaking calendar, every confirmed commitment is honoured, and our leaders appear on the stages that matter most for our customers and investors.

Responsibilities

• Run H’s speaking programme, starting with managing every inbound invitation and distributing them across leaders.
• Proactively pitch H speakers to the right conferences, and keep a clear calendar for our CEO, COO, product and research leaders.
• Assess each event against clear criteria (audience quality, prestige, format, media reach, strategic fit and geography) and give leadership a recommendation they can decide on quickly.
• Build and manage relationships with conference organisers, speaker bureaus, trade associations and media partners across France, the UK, the US and the rest of Europe.
• Negotiate and manage event and trade partnerships, from speaking slots and sponsorships to co-hosted events and media partnerships, working with Marketing and Sales on budget and return.
• Prepare our speakers for every appearance: bios, talking points, briefing notes, Q&A prep, logistics and audience background.
• Keep every commitment. Confirm early, plan replacements in advance, and never cancel or downgrade a speaking slot at the last minute without leadership’s decision.
• Turn each event into value: coordinate with Social and Content on coverage, with Sales on meetings and leads, and with the team on thank-you notes and follow-up.
• Keep the speaking pipeline, partner contacts and event outcomes up to date in one source of truth, and report on what worked.
