Remark – Events Producer EMEA recruitment

The Mergermarket Group (part of the Financial Times) is looking for an individual to join a growing and successful team with an exciting international programme of events.

This is a role within a friendly team and the successful candidate will be a motivated, flexible and hard working individual, keen to develop their events production experience and skills.

The role will be based in central London, but will involve the coordination of events across Europe, the Middle East and Africa so a willingness to travel is essential. The job will entail working closely with the editorial team, product journalists and analysts, sales, marketing and event production on programme research, speaker recruitment and events management.

Ideal candidates will have conference production experience at a commercial events company and a comprehensive knowledge of event programme production and management. Experience in finance is desirable (although not required), but a general interest in the financial markets is a must.

Candidates should ideally be educated to degree level or equivalent, have competent computer skills (including Word, Excel, databases and social networking), and high standards of presentation and communication. The successful candidate must be confident and highly-customer focused, take responsibility and pride in their work, and maintain a positive attitude when working under pressure.

Mergermarket is an equal opportunities employer and as a fast-growing company, offers the ideal candidate an opportunity to develop their skills and widen their financial services industry experience.
