About the Company

We are building one of Europe's leading innovation platforms, connecting founders, investors, corporate leaders, researchers, and policymakers to accelerate the adoption of emerging technologies.

Through a combination of events, content, intelligence, community, and strategic partnerships, we help organisations discover new technologies, build meaningful connections, and create commercial opportunities across the innovation ecosystem.

As we continue to grow, we are investing in our corporate membership and executive community programs to create a year-round network of senior decision-makers responsible for technology adoption, innovation strategy, procurement, and transformation initiatives.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Director of Executive Membership & Corporate Community to build, scale, and monetise a high-value community of senior enterprise leaders.

This role sits at the intersection of community building, membership strategy, business development, and executive engagement. You will be responsible for growing a curated network of senior corporate decision-makers while ensuring the community delivers meaningful value to members, partners, and the wider platform.

You will own both strategy and execution: defining the membership proposition, driving member acquisition and engagement, developing commercial models, and building the team and systems required to support growth.

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys working with senior executives, building communities from the ground up, and creating new revenue streams through membership, access, and engagement.

• Create experiences that connect senior executives with founders, investors, operators, and subject-matter experts.

• Develop exclusive forums, roundtables, leadership networks, and executive-level discussions.

• Ensure members receive tangible value through networking, learning, business opportunities, and industry insight.

• Build programs that encourage long-term engagement and community participation.

Event & Marketplace Experience

• Own the executive member journey across flagship events and community gatherings.

• Design high-quality networking and matchmaking experiences.

• Work closely with programming, partnerships, and operations teams to deliver exceptional member experiences.

Team Leadership & Operations

• Build, manage, and develop the team responsible for membership growth, engagement, and operations.

• Establish processes, systems, and KPIs to support scale.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with commercial, marketing, content, and leadership teams.

• Contribute to broader company strategy through insights gathered from the executive community.
