Description
Infopro Digital, the B2B group specialising in information and technology, is looking for an experienced head of event technology on a permanent contract to join its Risk Global division.
About Infopro Digital
Infopro Digital is a global B2B company with around 4,000 employees, annual revenues of over half a billion dollars and a presence in 26 countries. Its market-leading brands serve five professional communities: insurance and finance, automotive aftermarket, construction, retail and industrials. Our brands help clients make informed business decisions and find new opportunities.
About Risk Global
Risk Global is the collective name for our financial services brands: a 300-person organisation with offices in London, New York, Nashville, and Hong. The portfolio includes Risk.net, Central Banking, Chartis Research, 1LoD and WatersTechnology.
We inform senior risk, technology and trading professionals at banks, asset managers, insurers and central banks. Our offer spans news and commentary, research, data, learning, events and marketing solutions, including flagship conference series such as Risk Live and a portfolio of industry awards. The EventTech Manager owns the strategy, delivery and operation of the technology that powers every Risk Global event, including flagship global conferences, awards programmes and webinars. Risk Global serves the financial risk, derivatives, regulation and fintech communities with high-value intelligence, data, events and digital products.
About the role
You will set the event technology strategy for the division, run our primary event management platform, Eventmaker, and make sure the full stack works as one: registration, CRM, badging, streaming, webinars and awards management. Based in our London office, you will sit at the centre of our events, learning, marketing, sales and technology teams, turning business goals into a clear event technology roadmap and delivering it on the ground.
This role suits someone who combines strategic and technical thinking with strong people skills. You will be as comfortable shaping a platform roadmap or leading a vendor review as you are fixing a badge printer or a stream failure minutes before a keynote. Live events are fast-moving and high-pressure, and you will stay calm, solve problems quickly and keep colleagues and clients confident
