Event Director

£70,000 - £80,000 DOE + Bonus + Excellent Benefits – 2 Days Office Based in London

Our client is a long-standing and trusted provider of large-scale, international networking events, memberships and news covering the AI/Data Centre / Tech and Telco space. Due to ambitious growth plans the need has arisen to hire an Event Director to lead across their flagship events portfolio.

Reporting to the portfolio Managing Director, you will shape event propositions, drive growth, and ensure each product meets its commercial, strategic, and brand objectives. You will manage and mentor a team of Senior and Product Managers, working cross-functionally with content, marketing, operations, and sales to deliver world-class event experiences. This is a key role for a strategic yet hands‑on product leader who can balance growth with commercial discipline, ensuring that every event evolves in line with customer needs and market opportunities.

Crucially, you must love producing commercial events as this role is still very much hands‑on, building relationships with key speakers, partners and working with SPEX.

• Circa 6+ years’ experience in B2B events, media, or community‑led businesses, including 3+ years in a product or portfolio leadership role.
• Proven ability to grow event brands commercially and strategically.
• Strong commercial and analytical skills – comfortable with budgets, P&L ownership, and KPI tracking.
• Deep interest in (or experience with) the telecoms, data centre, or technology sectors.
• Exceptional communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with confidence at senior industry level.
• Strong people leadership experience, with the ability to motivate and mentor cross‑functional teams.
• Entrepreneurial mindset – curious, creative, and outcome‑focused.
