Event Content Producer - Ecosystems

This role sits at the heart of our Ecosystems events portfolio, bringing to life innovative, community-focused events that push beyond our traditional forum model. You'll work across our most experimental and niche-focused events - from emerging new concepts in early exploration through to established community-driven programmes - managing research, stakeholder relationships, content curation, and operational execution. If you're looking to build your event career at the cutting edge of the tech ecosystem, this role gives you the chance to create something entirely new while connecting with some of the most exciting names in tech.

The ideal candidate is organised, ambitious, and detail-oriented, with strong research and prioritisation skills, entrepreneurial thinking, and at least 2 years of relevant event and community-building experience. You're comfortable working scrappy, moving fast, and wearing multiple hats to bring events to life.

Founders Forum Group is an event-powered community supporting innovative entrepreneurs at every stage of their journeys. Since 2019, we've partnered with Informa Tech and acquired Tech Nation to unite founders, investors, corporate and government leaders across our portfolio of global events and programmes.

Our Ecosystems team operates differently from our traditional forums - we're building niche, community-focused events targeting specific functions and audience profiles. These events serve a dual purpose: building genuine community around emerging topics, and creating value directly for our portfolio companies and partners. Think WhatsApp-driven community building, unconventional speaker curation, and entrepreneurial experimentation.

Key Responsibilities

• Community & stakeholder management: Build and nurture genuine relationships with speakers, community members, partners, and portfolio companies - beyond traditional speaker database management
• Research & audience development: Research emerging tech trends and identify both high-profile and up-and-coming voices (not just established names), building audiences that may fall outside traditional "forum calibre" profiles
• Content strategy & curation: Collaborate with the Head of Ecosystems to design engaging, non-traditional event agendas and experiences that feel fresh and authentic to each community
• New event exploration: Get involved in the full lifecycle of new event concepts - from initial exploration and validation through ops and execution, helping to shape early-stage ideas into viable programmes
• Relationship facilitation: Make meaningful introductions between speakers, community members, and portfolio companies; coordinate briefings and calls
• Operational flexibility: Support event logistics and execution as needed, from outreach coordination to on-the-day support
• Communications management: Draft compelling outreach, briefing documents, and follow-ups that reflect each event's unique tone and community

• At least 2 years of experience in event production, community building, or content curation
• Genuine interest in the tech startup ecosystem and emerging technology trends
• Comfort with ambiguity and ability to move fast in early-stage event exploration
• Strong attention to detail alongside entrepreneurial problem-solving
• Excellent research and analytical skills
• Strong written and verbal communication
• Proven ability to build authentic relationships with diverse stakeholders
• Ability to prioritise and manage multiple competing projects
• Resilience and flexibility - you're happy to roll up your sleeves and do whatever it takes
