[Hiring] Senior Talent Producer @Web Summit

Role Description

We're looking for a fiercely driven, high-achieving, results-focused producer to win the world's most sought-after talent for our flagship events. You'll own your own pipeline of A-list targets and close them yourself. You'll also be the operational backbone of our wider talent effort, so nobody across misses an opportunity with a name that matters.

• Talent Acquisition: Own and manage a pipeline of high-profile, A-list talent from first outreach through to confirmation, including negotiating terms and securing participation.
• Relationship Building: Identify and develop relationships with A-list speakers directly, and also with key gatekeepers, talent representatives and decision-makers.
• Pipeline Management: Oversee the team's A-list talent pipeline, driving accountability, monitoring progress and reporting on performance, conversion rates and forecasts.
• Strategic Research: Identify and prioritise high-value talent opportunities through market intelligence, industry trends and alignment with event objectives.
• Stakeholder Management: Collaborate with Web Summit leadership, internal teams and external partners to align talent acquisition priorities and maximise opportunities.
• Talent Delivery: Work cross-functionally to ensure a seamless experience for confirmed high-profile talent, from logistics and preparation through to on-site delivery.

Qualifications

• Relentlessly determined, with a track record of achievement and a drive to succeed, whatever the challenges.
• A stellar network, with a track record of closing high-profile deals (talent acquisition experience is a significant plus, but a strong track record in business development, relationship management or other relevant skills would also be valuable).
• Existing relationships with agents, managers or publicists, or a proven ability to build them quickly with the right senior people.
• Deep knowledge of the technology landscape: AI, semiconductors, venture capital, founders and operators, and who is rising.
• Exceptional discretion and sound judgement with sensitive, high-profile and politically charged figures.
• Highly organised, keeping multiple pipelines moving with clean data and strict follow-up.
• Persuasive, polished written and spoken communication, with the confidence to chase world-class talent.
• Willing to travel internationally.

Benefits

• Subsidised healthcare, dental, employee assistance programme (EAP) and more.
• Employer pension contribution up to 6% for Irish-based employees.
• A dedicated in-house L&D department, with access to workshops, online learning and resources to help you excel in your career development.
• Company MacBook, generous annual leave and flexible working arrangements.
• Our very own Tramway Team, which drives community and morale-boosting events for employees to participate in.
• Annual company get-togethers, charity days, and monthly wellbeing talks.
• Wellness subsidy issued to all employees of €1000 per year.
