Radar is a full-service Marketing, PR, Publishing and Events Agency hyper-focused on modern methods of construction (MMC) and building technology. We operate "under the radar" so our clients and brands take 100% of the spotlight, while we quietly - and flawlessly - orchestrate the entire show behind the scenes. We work hard, we don't do corporate egos, and we are deeply obsessed with our niche.
About the Role
As our Conference & Content Producer, you are the intellectual engine behind our events. You will own the content journey for our fast-growing event portfolio - spanning regional flagship gatherings, national sector summits, client-led roundtables, and high-profile industry awards.
This isn't a role for someone who just copies last year's agenda - it’s for a curious, commercially minded content specialist who loves researching sector trends, building relationships with industry heavyweights, and turning complex technical subjects into captivating event programmes. From initial advisory board briefings to curating keynotes, running awards judging panels, and hosting speakers on-site, you’ll craft the narrative and secure the talent that makes our events unmissable.
Key Responsibilities
- Advisory Boards & Topic Research: Meet with industry advisory boards and internal teams to gather feedback and insights. Deep-dive into technical topics across MMC, timber, and building tech to extract compelling themes and key industry pain points.
- Programme Curation & Formatting: Structure and write comprehensive conference agendas. Experiment with engaging formats - from solo keynotes and dynamic panel discussions to interactive workshops - and maintain robust lists of back-up speakers to ensure flawless execution.
- Speaker Recruitment & Outreach: Actively reach out to C-suite leaders, technical experts, and industry pioneers to invite and secure them as speakers, panellists, and keynote presenters across our events.
- End-to-End Speaker Management: Manage speaker involvement from pitch to post-event. Send clear briefing materials, collect presentations, coordinate on-site speaker logistics, gather feedback, and introduce key speakers to our internal editorial teams to nurture long-term relationships.
- Roundtable Participant Recruitment: Identify, invite, and secure high-level delegates and key decision-makers for exclusive, client-hosted roundtable discussions.
- Awards Panel Recruitment & Management: Recruit and manage prestigious judging panels for our award schemes, steering the evaluation process from start to finish.
- Team Collaboration: Work hand-in-hand with our Event Managers, Marketing, PR, and Publishing divisions to ensure event agendas align with commercial sponsorship packages and drive delegate ticket sales.
What We Are Looking For
No corporate jargon, no big egos. Just genuine enthusiasm, sharp organisation, and pride in your craft.
- The Track Record: Proven experience in conference production, content curation, or senior speaker recruitment - ideally within B2B events, media, or technical industries.
- Research & Journalism Instincts: Exceptional research abilities and the confidence to hold intelligent, high-level conversations with senior industry executives and technical leaders.
- Sweating the Quiet Details: Highly organised with flawless attention to detail. You can juggle multiple event programmes simultaneously inside our project management system without letting a single speaker drop.
- Solutions-Focused Attitude: When a keynote speaker cancels 24 hours before go-live, you don't panic - you calmly activate your back-up plan and keep the programme running seamlessly.
- Tech Savvy: Comfortable with MS Office, CRM databases , and project management tools.
- On the Road: Willingness for occasional overnight stays at key events across the UK and Europe.
