Job description

The role:

The Community and Content Executive is a crucial role for our leading industrial, life science, and manufacturing events: Advanced Engineering, Southern Manufacturing and Electronics, UK Metals Expo, ChemUK Expo, Lab Innovations, and StocExpo.

These event brands bring together the communities that innovate, develop and manufacture advanced technologies and solutions in aerospace, automotive, rail, marine, energy, R&D, medical, pharma, oil & gas, and more – both in the UK and internationally.

The Community and Content Executive will help us connect with these communities year-round; and ensure we deliver content in a range of formats that inspires them and helps solve their key challenges.

Reporting to the Head of Community and Content and working alongside the events’ marketing teams, the role will focus on the below:

• Help develop, and deepen our relationships with top influencers in the sectors – including key contacts and leaders at organizations such as Airbus, JLR (Jaguar Land Rover), McLaren, Network Rail, BASF, BP, GSK to name just a few
• In consultation with the Head of Community & Content and event/marketing teams, deliver our event content: researching and recruiting the sharpest relevant speakers; helping define and identify the most exciting topics, formats, innovative feature displays and demos.
• In consultation with the Head of Community & Content and event/marketing teams, take ownership of, and deliver a year-round multi-channel content strategy connecting and inspiring our communities – through newsletters, surveys, webinars, publications, round tables, advisory groups, social media and more.

All of this will help us to develop and grow our audiences for the events; but more importantly, they will help us fulfil our broader mission to help our communities to innovate and build a better future.

The ideal candidate:

We are looking for someone with a creative approach to content development and the confidence to mix it with the most important people in this sector.

This role requires someone with:

• 1-2 years of experience in a relevant area such as marketing, event planning, conference production etc
• Great organisation and the ability to juggle multiple deadlines
• Excellent presentation skills; curiosity and interest – a desire to discover the sector and its challenges, or existing knowledge of technical, scientific or engineering areas, and/or desire to go and see people to do this
• Ability and interest in understanding the bigger picture, adaptability and the ability to cope under pressure
• Strong copywriting and proofing skills
• Ability to analyse and understand a wide range of complex issues and express them in simple and engaging language
• Confidence and curiosity to talk to a wide range of (senior) people – on the phone and face to face – and to understand what makes them tick (including being flexible and open to visiting external events/networking meetings etc)
• Ability to use (or quickly learn) relevant software and systems, such as Microsoft Office, website CMS (we use Wordpress), email marketing platforms, Google Analytics and so on.
• Experience of helping develop conferences, speaker relations and advisory boards is a plus, though not essential.
