 About Us

This role owns marketing for delegates and exhibitors across CDMO Live's events in Europe and North America, alongside the PharmaSource media platform.

It’s an ideal opportunity for an ambitious Marketing Manager looking to take the next step in a high-growth events business, with the autonomy to lead and own the marketing function as the portfolio continues to grow.

  • Cultivate and strengthen relationships with media partners and industry thought leaders to expand event visibility and audience reach.
  • Own and grow association partnerships that bring qualified audience to our events.
  • Actively participate in the annual planning process, researching relevant events and market opportunities to inform the portfolio.
  • Stay informed on customer behaviour, industry trends, competitive activity and marketing best practice, and apply that thinking to improve campaign performance.
  • Keep event websites updated (WordPress/Elementor).
  • Line manage as the team grows. 
What you'll need:

  • Proven use of AI tools such as Claude or ChatGPT to create marketing efficiencies and improve results
  • Experience with email platforms (e.g. Brevo) and marketing automation
