Why This Role Exists

BizClik’s events are defined by the quality of their speakers and the strength of their agendas.

This role exists to ensure that every event is built on a high-quality, senior-level speaker lineup and a clear, commercially aligned content programme that supports audience growth, brand positioning and revenue generation.

This is not a coordination role. It is a commercially accountable position with ownership of speaker acquisition, agenda development and external relationships that directly influence event performance.

  • Develop clear, differentiated and commercially relevant event agendas

  • Define the type and profile of speakers required for each session and align sourcing accordingly.

  • Work closely with Event leadership, Editorial and Sales to ensure alignment between content, audience and revenue.

Commercial Alignment

  • Work closely with Sales teams to ensure speaker selection and agenda development support sponsorship opportunities.

  • Align speakers to sponsor objectives and create commercially relevant content that strengthens event positioning.

  • Understand and operate with a clear link between content quality and revenue performance.
