Shape the audience strategy behind a high-growth Pharma portfolio

We are looking for a senior, commercially minded marketing leader to take on one of the most influential attendee marketing roles in our $200M+ revenue Pharma portfolio, which includes one of Informa Markets' top five events.

This is a high-impact leadership role focused on building the right audiences, not simply driving volume.

Alongside growing ticketing revenue and strengthening our live event propositions, you will help identify new ways to create value for our customers and generate incremental revenue from the audiences we build and engage.

This is also a significant leadership opportunity. You will lead and develop a team of attendee marketers, creating the clarity, accountability, and momentum needed to deliver at a high level, while contributing as a key member of the senior marketing leadership team to broader decisions, priorities, and marketing standards across the business.
