Are you ready to create and lead the content for a next-generation cybersecurity event?

A new events company-backed by experienced founders‑is building a premium, highly curated cybersecurity experience that moves beyond traditional expos. The focus: structured 1:1 meetings, practitioner‑led discussions, and honest conversations on how AI is transforming trust, security, and emerging threats.

We're hiring a Head of Event Content & Speaker Acquisition to design the conference agenda, secure top‑tier speakers, and oversee all event content production.

What You'll Lead

• Own the conference agenda and content roadmap across events, roundtables, reports, and digital platforms
• Build programmes shaped by market trends, practitioner challenges, and industry shifts
• Recruit and secure senior speakers: CISOs, CTOs, researchers, founders, policymakers
• Oversee production of all sessions: keynotes, panels, fireside chats, workshops, and structured discussions
• Ensure content drives attendance, sponsor success, and commercial outcomes
• Manage researchers, moderators, and freelancers as the content function grows

What You Bring

• 5+ years in conference production, agenda design, or speaker recruitment-ideally in cybersecurity, AI, enterprise tech, risk, or privacy
• A strong network and proven ability to engage senior industry figures
• Deep awareness of cyber and AI trends, emerging threats, and regulatory developments
• Ability to turn technical or policy‑heavy topics into compelling sessions
• Strong communication skills and confidence to represent the brand externally
• Thrives in a fast‑paced, early‑stage startup environment with high autonomy

Why Join

This is an opportunity to build a conference from the ground up, shape the industry conversation around AI and security, and create a content programme that becomes a defining experience for senior cybersecurity leaders.
