Turn big thinking into global conversations.

Thinkers50 - the platform that champions the brightest minds in leadership and business - is seeking an impact-oriented Marketing & Events Specialist. In this role, you'll help us create engaging digital experiences, grow our global community, and spotlight ideas that are reshaping how organisations think, evolve, and succeed.

This is a fully remote role, ideal for someone based in Europe or happy to work European hours. You'll join a small, collaborative team dedicated to curating and amplifying today's most influential ideas in business and management. If you enjoy building community through social media, coordinating projects with care, and hosting compelling virtual events - we'd love to hear from you.

About Thinkers50

Thinkers50 identifies, ranks, and shares the very best in management and leadership thinking. Founded in 2001, we curate ideas that make a real impact in business and society - and celebrate the people behind them. Every two years, we host the Thinkers50 Awards Gala, known as the "Oscars of management thinking" (FT).

We are a small, purpose-driven team that values intellectual curiosity and collaboration. We work remotely across multiple countries and time zones, with a culture that encourages initiative and open communication. Every day, we're inspired by the thinkers we meet and the conversations we help spark.

Your Role at a Glance

Inspire and Engage

• Support the implementation of a social media strategy using tools like Hootsuite.
• Write engaging copy and plan content across platforms in line with our editorial calendar.
• Design visual assets using Canva or Adobe tools (we love creative flair!)
• Monitor platforms, engage with our audience, and support social listening efforts.

Coordinate Digital Events

• Assist with the setup and delivery of virtual events such as webinars, LinkedIn Live sessions, and interviews.
• Support event logistics and speaker preparation.

Keep Things Running Smoothly

• Assist in tracking project timelines and deliverables, helping the team stay organised and on schedule.
• Provide general administrative support, including scheduling and inbox management.

Measure What Matters

• Collect data and assist in preparing reports to improve and grow our impact.

Looking Ahead

This role may evolve to include:

• Supporting PR efforts (media relations, press kits, identifying influencers).
• Collaborating with partner and sponsor marketing teams on joint initiatives.

Remote Work & Travel

• This is a fully remote position.
• You must be based in Europe or able to work European office hours.
• Occasional travel to London (and other locations) will be required.
• Some flexibility is important, as occasional virtual events may be scheduled in the evening.

Who You Are

You're organised, curious, and confident managing a variety of tasks - from creative brainstorming to detail-oriented planning. You craft clear, engaging copy that aligns with our voice and mission, learn new tools quickly, and work well independently while staying connected to a collaborative team.

Strong written and spoken English is essential, as you'll be managing public-facing content and communications.

You might have experience in digital content, community-building, or events - or be ready to bring your transferable skills into a new environment. Any experience with paid advertising campaigns (planning or execution), and familiarity with WordPress is a plus - however, what matters most to us is your enthusiasm, initiative, and thoughtful approach to work.

We don't expect you to meet every single requirement - if you're excited to learn, we're excited to support you.

Inclusion & Diversity at Thinkers50

We are committed to equal opportunities and fair pay. We actively encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, including - but not limited to - gender identity or expression, race or ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, disability, age, and religion. Your unique perspective matters to us.

Salary: £35,000-£45,000. Our salaries are benchmarked against UK market standards and adjusted thoughtfully based on experience and differences in living costs across regions.

Ready to Join Us?

We're reviewing applications as they come in and will close the role once we've found the right person, so hit the 'Apply' button today rather than tomorrow - we look forward to learning more about you.
