Fantastic opportunity for a talented Head of Conference Production to join a leading media business to lead and oversee the content for a portfolio of public sector conferences, predominantly online but also some in person too.

The Head of Conference Production will manage a number of conference producers and produce their own content.

Reporting directly to the MD you will be responsible for end-to-end content delivery of your own events and have sign-off authority and responsibility for speakers, topics and formats across the events portfolio.

You will be expected to encourage innovation and improvement from previous events and oversee work in partnership with their host partners to produce high quality programmes that reach both parties’ objectives.

You must have demonstrable experience of successfully producing events and managing a team of content/conference producers. An interest in the public sector would be great.

You’ll need to be used to a fast-paced environment, be an innovative thinker and have the ability to research and discover key topics and the best speakers.

You will have a creative approach to be able to spot opportunities that add value and enhance the experience of our stakeholders. You’ll need to be confident talking to senior leaders and stakeholders.
