About us:

How did Web Summit become, in the words of Forbes, “the best tech conference on the planet”? Meaningful connections. Our tech events are unmissable because we make it easier for the right people to meet and connect. Everyone at Web Summit works towards this goal.

And we’re just getting started.

We’re always looking to build on the impact we have already made at Web Summit. In the coming years we’ll take Web Summit to new markets, promoting global connectivity, highlighting important issues and connecting global leaders – all while making a positive impact on the environment and communities we encounter.

To build a better company, we have to better ourselves. We do that by finding the most ambitious people to work with us.

About the team

Email marketing is at the core of everything we do. Our email team collaborates with our growth, project management, design and advertising teams, to build our global communities, and engage with our attendees. The goal of our email team is to deliver high-quality, creative, and data-driven strategies that inspire new communities to join our events.

We’re looking for a creative and hands-on marketing professional who understands the power of email marketing and is capable of serving as a creative visionary, developing disruptive and engaging ideas to captivate audiences and drive business goals.
