As our Marketing Events & Influencer Partnership Manager, you'll play a crucial role in building a high-impact community and demand engine through standout events and strategic industry partnerships.

You’ll be responsible for creating the recruitment network everyone wants to be part of, designing and delivering memorable experiences that drive pipeline, brand affinity, and long-term relationships. Events (both online and offline) will be your core growth lever: from intimate, high-value roundtables with agency leaders to flagship industry moments that position us at the centre of the recruitment ecosystem.

Alongside events, you’ll own and grow our influencer and partner network, working with respected voices across the recruitment space to extend our reach, build credibility, and create content and experiences that resonate deeply with our audience. Your understanding of the recruitment world means you know what matters, who matters, and how to bring the right people together in the right way.

This is a highly visible, cross-functional role where you’ll collaborate closely with Sales, Customer Success, and Growth to ensure every event and partnership drives measurable impact.

With significant scope to make your mark, this role is ideal for someone who thrives on creating energy, building communities, and turning moments into momentum for the business.
