As an Event Content Manager, you will conduct exciting public policy research, work with senior speakers from across government, business, universities and civil society, speaker management, and create engaging content. Your mandate is to deliver high-quality, high-impact events, researching key policy and economic trends affecting government, business and society. You will own the full production life cycle from policy research and agenda setting to speaker acquisition and management, and collaborate with marketing and membership functions to ensure our policy focus aligns with membership needs and shifting priorities. This role is critical to our membership offer; events are highly respected and supported by the membership base and will require a strategic thinker who can ensure the right policy research informs event idea validation. The Event Operations team will support on-the-day logistics.

• Conduct research on key policy and economic trends affecting sectors across the membership base, including market and policy trend analysis, collecting feedback from members through stakeholder interviews and surveys to inform the programme.
• Lead collaboration with internal teams to develop marketing and communication materials to promote the events programme (landing pages, e-newsletter segments, promotional campaigns) and own all programme deliverables.
• Engage with sectors by networking with key industry figures to build understanding of how themes can drive collaboration across members.
• Oversee and liaise with the Events Operations assistant allocated to your event to ensure smooth delivery.
• Foster innovation, continuous improvement and collaboration within the team.

Experience

• 4+ years’ experience of conference or content development, preferably around policy or key business issues.
• Proven ability to manage the full conference production cycle, including research, agenda setting, speaker acquisition and event management across multiple themes (ideally from a major conference organiser).
• Experience working directly with senior executives, understanding their motivators, contextualising their expertise and building meaningful relationships on behalf of a brand/organisation.
• Demonstrable strategic portfolio development and/or new event/content idea validation in areas such as international relations, politics, political economy, finance, economics or technology.
• Clear passion for content development and implementing new content strategies to drive audience engagement and brand value.
• Advanced project management skills including launch, progress monitoring, feedback and learning in charities, membership/training organisations, public sector or third sector.
• Deep interest and/or exposure in policymaking, UK economic development and government relations.
