Conference Producer, Retail Supply Chain

Conference Producer, Retail Supply Chain

The Opportunity:

The Hive Network is hiring a Conference Producer to take ownership of content, speakers and community engagement for our Supply Chain portfolio within The Retail Hive.

This is a hybrid role for someone who thrives at the intersection of content, community, and commercial success. It would be ideal for a conference producer who wants to take their relationship building to the next level, moving beyond agenda production alone to become a trusted voice within a senior retail supply chain community.

You will research the market, speak regularly with senior industry leaders, identify the topics that matter, and turn those insights into high value events, agendas and discussion formats. You will work closely with senior supply chain, logistics, operations and retail leaders from some of the UK’s best known businesses, including Amazon, John Lewis, Tesco, Sky, JD, Primark, Boots and Next.

Our model is built around year round community engagement. That means the strongest content does not come from desk research alone. It comes from regular conversations with senior members, understanding their current challenges, building trusted relationships, and using those insights to shape relevant, commercially strong events.

You will take responsibility for the production of one of the portfolio’s key Supply Chain events, including researching market themes, conducting member interviews, shaping agenda content, securing speakers, writing discussion frameworks, and helping to deliver a high quality experience for members and partners.

This is a strong opportunity for a commercially minded producer who wants more ownership, more direct market exposure, and a visible role within a fast growing B2B events and insights business.
