Haymarket is looking for a Head of Content to lead the conference production team on our highly successful portfolio of events which we organise in partnership with professional associations. 

As the Head of Content, you will be responsible for setting the content strategy across our events, which range from focused breakfast briefings to large scale exhibitions. You will be managing three conference producers, setting ambitious goals for the team and coaching them to ensure these are achieved.
