About Systango

About the Role

Key Responsibilities

Community & Audience Building

• Build and continuously grow a relevant network of London-based technology and business leaders.
• Identify and engage CTOs, CIOs, CDOs, Heads of AI/Data, VP Engineering, Product leaders, Founders and other senior decision-makers.
• Build relationships with technology communities, industry groups, partners and ecosystem organisations.
• Develop targeted outreach strategies to attract the right audience, whether through an existing network, direct outreach, partnerships, communities or other channels.
• Maintain and grow an organised database of relevant technology contacts and relationships.

Content & Thought Leadership

• Develop compelling discussion themes around AI, GenAI, Data, Cloud, Product Engineering and Digital Transformation.
• Identify topics and industry conversations that will genuinely interest senior technology leaders.
• Develop supporting content, invitations and communications to create interest and engagement around each event.
• Help position Systango as a credible participant in relevant technology conversations.

Event Strategy & Execution

• Plan and execute curated executive breakfasts, lunches, roundtables and private networking events.
• Build highly targeted attendee lists based on seniority, company, industry relevance and discussion topic.
• Personally engage prospective attendees and drive confirmations.
• Identify and coordinate speakers, moderators, partners and facilitators where required.
• Manage event logistics including venue coordination, invitations, confirmations and on-the-day execution.
• Ensure every event delivers a high-quality and relevant experience rather than simply maximising attendance.

Post-Event Community & Engagement

• Maintain relationships with attendees beyond the event.
• Facilitate relevant introductions and continued conversations.
• Work with Systango's Sales and Leadership teams on meaningful follow-up.
• Identify opportunities for future events, partnerships and community initiatives.
• Build an ongoing community rather than treating each event as a standalone activity.

Measurement & Improvement

• Track attendee quality, engagement, community growth and event performance.
• Monitor participation from target companies and personas.
• Identify business-development opportunities influenced by the community over time.
• Continuously improve event formats, topics, outreach and engagement strategies based on results.

What We Are Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in technology events, community building, executive networking, partnerships, B2B marketing, field marketing or a related area.
• Demonstrated experience building or growing a professional/technology community.
• Demonstrated experience organising and hosting curated events, roundtables, breakfasts, lunches, private dinners or technology meetups.
• Strong understanding of the London technology ecosystem.
• Experience engaging senior technology or business audiences.
• Background in AI, SaaS, Technology, FinTech, Digital Transformation, Consulting or IT Services is highly desirable.
• Strong communication, networking and relationship-building skills.
• Ability to develop relevant content and discussion themes for senior audiences.
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to independently manage multiple activities.
• Commercial mindset and understanding of how communities and events can contribute to relationships, partnerships and business development.
• Comfortable working independently in a part-time/fractional capacity.

What Would Make You Stand Out

• An existing network of CTOs, CIOs, AI/Data, Engineering, Product leaders or Founders in London.
• Alternatively, a proven ability to build the right audience through targeted outreach, partnerships and community engagement.
• Experience working with technology/AI/SaaS communities or companies.
• Experience creating invite-only, highly curated executive events rather than primarily large-scale conferences.
• Experience working with senior technology decision-makers around topics such as AI, GenAI, Data, Cloud or Digital Transformation.
• Experience working in a freelance, consulting or fractional capacity.
• A track record of turning events into long-term community relationships and meaningful business conversations.

How Success Will Be Measured

• Approximately 2 curated events per month.
• Approximately 15–20 highly targeted invitations per event, resulting in 5–10 relevant attendees.
• Quality and seniority of attendees.
• Representation from Systango's target companies, sectors and personas.
• Growth and engagement of the London technology community.
• Quality of post-event relationships and introductions.
• Partnerships and ecosystem relationships developed.
• Business-development opportunities influenced or generated over time.

Ideal Candidate in One Line

A London-based technology community builder who can develop the right audience, create meaningful conversations and turn curated events into long-term executive relationships — not simply an event organiser.
