Content Producer

We have an exciting opportunity for an established conference producer looking to expand their horizons. If you would like the opportunity to work on large scale events and partake in high glamour events then this is the role for you!

Haymarket Events is renowned for producing quality forums and awards featuring high-level speakers and great content. Working closely with both our editorial and commercial teams we have the opportunity to produce some of the most innovative events in our sectors and we are looking for a content producer to join the team.

As the content lead, you will be responsible for shaping and managing the content for our forum events portfolio. The content at these events is key to attracting the right calibre of delegates whom we require to match with the suppliers in the sector who pay to attend for the prearranged 1-2-1 meetings.

In order to deliver successful events we require someone who has an established production methodology but is looking to expand their skill set to different event formats. This is a unique role where great content is a key part of an event which is structured differently to a traditional conference format. You will have the opportunity to help shape the current events whilst also being integral in extending the portfolio of this type of product. The content has to be relevant to the target audience, pertinent and engaging. We are also keen to integrate non traditional content delivery options.

You will work with the event managers and the marketing team to deliver the events, whilst working closely with the editorial and commercial teams on our relevant Brands and with our partners, CIPD and CIPS, to ensure the content can also help with the commercial opportunities at the event. The event manager on the project has P&L responsibility and is the lead person on the event team for the project.
