Event Manager

The opportunity

As a TechnologyAdvice brand, Raconteur develops its in-person and virtual event offering, we’re looking for an ambitious and proactive events manager to manage the guest sourcing, client liaison and delivery of our events - with a longer-term view of building Raconteur’s wider event capabilities.

Sitting in our commercial content team, and working closely with our commercial content editors and project managers, the successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring all our event guests and speakers fit the agreed criteria as set out by Raconteur in conjunction with our event sponsors.

Excellent communication skills are essential, as is a willingness to constantly test, iterate and improve on outreach messaging. At its heart this role is a data-driven one; ensuring that all communication is as effective as possible - whether by email, phone, LinkedIn or beyond - is key to ensuring we attract the best guests for every event we run.

Location: United Kingdom, Hybrid in our central London office on Thursdays.

What you'll do

• Build guest lists and run outreach cadences through our sales enablement system

• Source, book and manage small-scale in-person events where applicable
• Have a constant scrutiny on our outreach strategy to guests, testing and tweaking when necessary to improve our conversation and attendance rates
• Build internal relationships with key stakeholders to ensure processes are optimised and as smooth as possible
• Develop and build relationships with Raconteur’s network of leaders (and beyond) to ensure consistent engagement on an ongoing basis

Who you are

• Experience coordinating roundtable/webinar/in-person discussions
• A real willingness to learn about sales enablement platforms
• Experience of working directly with commercial B2B clients
• Experience of liaising with very senior external stakeholders (Director level+)
