Who We Are

At CloserStill, we strive to deliver the best. We're on a mission to be the most dynamic B2B events and communities business in every market we serve, bringing people together to learn, connect and grow.

Operating across five regions, we power over 200 market-leading events, publications and brands across Business Technologies, Healthcare, Learning, HR & Education, and Future Transport & Infrastructure.

But what truly sets us apart is our people. Our teams are diverse, driven, and united by a shared commitment to excellence. Rooted in our core values of ownership, empathy, teamwork, integrity, and determination, we empower every employee to grow, shape their own path and make a meaningful impact.

Who We Are Looking For

You love finding the boring, repetitive bit of a process and making it disappear. You'll sit with a team in Finance, HR, Operations or Customer Success, understand how they really work, and build something that saves them hours and makes their work more accurate. You're practical. You know when a simple workflow is the right answer and when AI is worth the effort. You build with care: clear approvals, proper error handling and a human always in control of the important decisions.

Keep Humans in Control

• Build in approvals, permissions, exception handling and clear handoffs to business users


• Test workflows and AI output quality before anything goes live


• Add logging, alerts and recovery steps so automations can be supported properly

Run and Improve

• Support live automations, investigate failures and manage changes to APIs and systems


• Document every workflow, and make sure it meets our security, privacy and access rules


• Work with the AI / ML Engineer on shared components
