The Company

Our client organises industry-leading exhibitions across a wide variety of sectors....but they want to do more to help exhibitors and sponsors to trade with relevant buyers at their events. Therefore they have made a multimillion pound investment into a new technology platform designed to help their exhibitors/sponsors to identify relevant visitors (prior to the show), engage with those visitors and pre-arrange meetings. Visitors can also of course target vendors through the platform.

The platform has been tested at an in-person event and was an incredible success. Therefore you will be part of the team which designs platforms for other large scale events.

The Role of Product Manager

• Building, following and adjusting the plans and timescales for the hosted meetings rollout for a yet to be decided brand. Ideally with an understanding of building minimum viable products.
• Leading the databuild strategy (build and execution), including creation of, and management of a buyer database.
• Researching and relationship building with customers (buyers and sponsors) to understand their needs and how they can meet and exceed them through the Hosted Buyer Programme.
• Conducting analysis and feedback - at each stage of the product build you’re involved in.
• Copywriting and marketing creation - you’ll be comfortable writing copy and also working with a lean marketing team (and external suppliers) to create lean, impactful marketing campaigns.You will have excellent written and spoken English and be able to communicate in impactful ways.
