Job description

Hybrid remote: 3 days in office

A proven internal promotion record, a multi-sector B2B conference portfolio running across technology, healthcare and future transport, and an employer recognised three years running for how it treats its people. The Event Speaker Liaison Coordinator (French-speaking) is the kind of role careers are built from, not just added to!

• Portfolio of market-leading B2B events across multiple sectors
• Sunday Times Top 100 Best Companies culture with proven internal promotion
• Hybrid working, 3 days in office and 2 from home
• Exposure to business technology, healthcare and future transport events
• Direct day-to-day access to senior event and marketing teams

The Company

Named in the Sunday Times Top 100 Best Companies to Work For three consecutive years, this mid-size B2B events house runs a strong portfolio of UK and international conferences spanning business technologies, healthcare, and future transport and infrastructure. People tend to stay once they are in, and the internal promotion record is the clearest signal of why careers here tend to grow rather than just pass through.

The Role

The Event Speaker Liaison Coordinator (French-speaking) sits at the operational heart of conference delivery, working across show directors, marketing, sales, operations and external partners to make sure every speaker is briefed, confirmed and looked after from first contact to the moment they walk off stage.

• Clarify event briefs with directors, marketing managers and conference managers
• Execute speaker agreements and manage requests professionally and on time
• Manage speaker accommodation, fees and expenses within event budgets
• Obtain, edit and publish speaker biographies, images and session descriptions to deadline
• Keep online programmes current via the content management system
• Request and receive speaker slides to correct AV specifications
• Coordinate onsite speaker logistics, AV liaison and speaker lounge management
• Support promotional campaigns by coordinating materials with internal and external designers

The Candidate

The right person for this Event Speaker Liaison Coordinator (French-speaking) role is fluent in French, both spoken and written, and brings a track record of keeping complex, multi-stakeholder processes organised and on time. Exceptional attention to detail, confident communication at all levels and strong Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel, are all essential.

Experience managing speaker briefs or agreements, CMS proficiency and a background coordinating event logistics onsite are all beneficial but not essential. If you come from a conference, association or media events background and are used to working across busy teams under tight deadlines, this role is well worth a look.

Three-days-in hybrid working, a high-calibre conference portfolio across multiple sectors, and an employer with a genuinely strong internal promotion record make the Event Speaker Liaison Coordinator (French-speaking) an opportunity worth moving quickly on.

We encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds, embracing diversity across all intersecting dimensions, including ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, well-being, abilities, and neurodiversity.

We are dedicated to ensuring a supportive and accessible recruitment process. If you require any adjustments or accommodations for any reason, please do not hesitate to let us know.
