We are looking for a commercially minded senior content or research lead, or a journalist looking to leave the newsroom, to join an international events firm. The goal is to establish a recurring-revenue stream derived from the content the events cover, such as turning proprietary survey data, closed-door executive discussions and conference content into research reports and analysis, and delivering commissioned reports.
You’ll lead a team that has produced research reports for sector-specific events across retail and commerce, logistics, pharmaceuticals, supply chain and capital markets. You should be someone who is comfortable with the event-sales dynamic.
This is an ideal position for those who are comfortable with the event-sales dynamic and with a keen eye for identifying market trends and stakeholder interests. This is a chance to set the content direction, and deliver editorially packaged market intelligence for a successful and world-renowned business.
Key responsibilities
- Lead and develop the content and research output across the portfolio, setting its editorial and commercial direction
- Manage and develop a small team of content producers
- Build recurring flagship research products alongside reactive analysis on live market themes, with capital markets a priority area
- Build and maintain relationships with senior practitioners to deepen sourcing, particularly across DCM, fixed income, trading and wealth
- Work with production, editorial and data colleagues to convert proprietary content, survey data and closed-door discussions into commercial insight
- Editorial or research experience in a specialist B2B intelligence, publishing or research environment, with a track record of leading content
- A track record of turning primary data and expert dialogue into clear, commercially useful analysis
- Capital markets knowledge and a strong existing contact book across the sector
- The credibility to engage senior practitioners and set standards for a team
