About us

Our client is a long-standing and trusted provider of large-scale, international networking events, memberships and news covering the complete digital infrastructure ecosystem. The need has arisen to hire a Head of Product to lead across their flagship events portfolio.

Their events connect leaders from more than 150 countries with tens of thousands of customers meeting at their series of powerhouse global events.

Role Summary

This is a new, fixed term maternity cover role as Head of Product across their data / tech events. Specifically, you will lead the market leading Global Congress event alongside additional portfolio events.

Reporting to the portfolio Managing Director, you will shape event propositions, drive growth, and ensure each product meets its commercial, strategic, and brand objectives.

You will manage and mentor a team of Senior and Product Managers, working cross-functionally with content, marketing, operations, and sales to deliver world-class event experiences.

This is a key role for a strategic yet hands-on product leader who can balance growth with commercial discipline, ensuring that every event evolves in line with customer needs and market opportunities.

Crucially, you must love producing commercial events as this role is still very much hands on, building relationships with key speakers, partners and working with SPEX.

• Deep interest in (or experience with) the telecoms, data centre, or technology sectors.
• Exceptional communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with confidence at senior industry level.
• Strong people leadership experience, with the ability to motivate and mentor cross-functional teams.
