Our client base includes C-level executives from 98% of Fortune 1000 companies, spanning industries including healthcare, pharmaceuticals, financial services, investments, energy and technology.
We are looking for driven, curious and confident Content Managers to join our Content Management team in Mumbai.
This is a role with genuine ownership from an early stage. As a Content Manager, you will be responsible for developing the content for your own portfolio of international conferences and taking each event through the full production cycle from researching the market and identifying the issues that matter, through to building the agenda, securing senior speakers and ultimately running the event on-site.
You will work directly with senior executives, industry experts and thought leaders from leading organisations across North America and Europe, giving you the opportunity to build a strong professional network while developing a detailed understanding of the industries you work in.
The topics you work on are constantly evolving. Depending on your portfolio, you could find yourself researching the impact of AI and emerging technology, climate change, financial crime, digital assets, pharmaceutical innovation or other issues shaping the future of global industries.
The role also provides the opportunity to travel internationally to deliver the events you have produced, working directly with speakers, delegates and the wider event team on-site across our European and North American markets.
As the role supports international markets, working hours are aligned with the region you are producing for.
North American market: 3:30pm–12:30am, Monday to Friday
European market: 2:00pm–11:00pm, Monday to Friday
You will also have access to a structured training programme covering conference production, research, speaker acquisition, communication, commercial awareness and project management. Alongside formal training, you will work closely with experienced Content Managers and senior leaders across the business, with regular opportunities to learn from their experience and take on greater responsibility.
For ambitious people who want to progress quickly, there is a clear path into senior and managerial positions as your experience and performance develop.
This is a full-time, in-person role located in our Mumbai office.
