Job description

About us:

How did Web Summit become, in the words of Forbes, “the best tech conference on the planet”? Meaningful connections. Our tech events are unmissable because we make it easier for the right people to meet and connect. Everyone at Web Summit works towards this goal.

And we’re just getting started.

We’re always looking to build on the impact we have already made at Web Summit. In the coming years we’ll take Web Summit to new markets, promoting global connectivity, highlighting important issues and connecting global leaders – all while making a positive impact on the environment and communities we encounter.

To build a better company, we have to better ourselves. We do that by finding the most ambitious people to work with us.

About the team:

The Media Team is at the heart of Web Summit, making sure that the world’s most influential media attend our events across the world (Some of this year’s Web Summit media attendees are listed here).

Once at those events, we ensure they have everything they need to cover, write, report, broadcast, record and talk about what’s happening at Web Summit - as well as making the personal connections that benefit them and the tech ecosystem.

We use data to inform our approach and our strategy, and a variety of technologies to support efficiency - but always recognising that engaging directly with media is critical. The team works closely and collaboratively across everything we do to ensure Web Summit remains the best technology events business in the world.

Who you are:

• You’re entrepreneurial, with hustle, grit, and a determination to get results
• You’re creative, confident and articulate
• You deliver, overcoming obstacles and challenges as they arise
• You’re a clear communicator with excellent presentation and interpersonal skills, eager to engage directly with journalists wherever they are
• You’re an adaptable and resourceful individual who can work to tight deadlines under pressure
• You’re an excellent team player, but with the ability to work on your own initiative
• You have an interest in technology, current affairs and new media

What you’ll do

• You’ll work with the team to identify and engage with journalists from around the world who should be at our events - especially in new media
• You’ll use data - both to identify these journalists and to maximise the impact of your outreach - and AI tools to maximise efficiency
• You’ll establish close relationships with these journalists, ensuring they attend our events and delivering maximum value for all
• You’ll maintain excellent records of your outreach and engagement
• You’ll recruit the highest standard of moderators to lead world-class talks across our events
• You’ll develop coverage planning strategies with key media before our events, and execute these strategies onsite

Benefits and perks:

• Hybrid-working model open to all employees.
• Subsidised healthcare, dental, employee assistance programme (EAP) and more.
• Pension contribution up to 6%(Irish based only)
• A dedicated in-house L&D department, with access to workshops, online learning and resources to help you excel in your career development.
• Company laptop, generous annual leave and flexible working arrangements.
• Our very own Tramway Team, which drives community and morale-boosting events for employees to participate in.
• Annual company get-togethers, charity days, and monthly wellbeing talks.
• Wellness subsidy issued to all employees of €1000 per year

At Web Summit, we embrace diversity and inclusion. We want talent from all walks of life to help us on our journey to digitise the conference sector. Hiring decisions are made purely on experience, skills and the needs of the business.
