The content marketing team communicates with our attendees and draws them to our events around the world. The team sits within the company’s wider marketing function including a copywriting team. We’re looking for someone to edit and publish our written content to high standards to ensure the best possible reader experience.

What you’ll achieve at Web Summit:

– You’ll be listened to. No matter how crazy your ideas seem!

Who you are:

– You have at least 10 years’ experience in media and/or publishing as an editor

– You’re comfortable making fast decisions independently and have a well-honed sense of urgency
– You’re versatile and have the ability to handle multiple projects and responsibilities across platforms calmly and efficiently and to the highest standard
