Build partnerships. Strengthen the speaker portfolio. Create long-term value.
At A-Speakers, we connect organisations with leading keynote speakers across international markets. We are looking for an International Speaker Relations Manager to develop selected speaker partnerships, strengthen our market offering, and create long-term commercial value. This is a relationship-driven commercial role where you will work closely with speakers, sales teams, and internal specialists to identify opportunities, develop strong keynote concepts, and drive measurable business impact. We’re looking for someone who combines commercial judgement, structured follow-through, and the confidence to lead partnerships in the right direction.
The role
You will be responsible for building and developing relationships with selected international speakers and helping them become more commercially relevant in key markets. By combining market insight, commercial understanding, and strong stakeholder management, you will help shape speaker positioning, develop keynote concepts, and align offerings with client demand. Success in this role requires the ability to build trust, create commitment, challenge constructively, and ensure initiatives move from idea to execution. Key responsibilities include:
- Build and develop strong relationships with selected international speakers with strong commercial potential in key markets
- Strengthening speaker positioning, keynote topics, and market-facing concepts by working closely with sales teams to understand client demand and translate insight into stronger speaker offerings
- Develop partnerships with clear direction, expectations, and shared goals while negotiating commitments and aligning expectations with speakers
- Coordinate with content and success teams to ensure initiatives are executed effectively while maintaining momentum across development projects
What we are looking for
We are looking for someone who combines commercial instinct with strong relationship-building skills. You are confident in dialogue with senior professionals and comfortable creating commitment. You know how to build trust, but you are also able to challenge constructively when needed. We imagine that you bring:
- Several years of experience in a commercial, partnership, or development-focused role, with a strong ability to negotiate, align expectations, and create commitment
- A structured approach and consistent follow-through
- Commercial judgement and a clear understanding of what creates value, along with the ability to work across teams and translate market insight into concrete initiatives
- Confidence in managing relationships with senior or high-profile professionals
- A long-term mindset combined with the drive to move things forward
You take initiative without needing every step defined for you. You are motivated by shared outcomes and understand how your work contributes to a broader commercial setup. More important than your exact background is your ability to see potential, create direction, and turn conversations into action.
Where your work creates impact
In this role, you will operate across speaker relations, sales, content, and success teams, helping turn strong speaker partnerships into measurable commercial value. You will work closely with selected international speakers to strengthen their market positioning, develop relevant keynote concepts, and ensure their expertise aligns with client demand. At the same time, you will collaborate with sales teams to identify emerging themes, market opportunities, and areas where stronger speaker offerings can be developed.
Success in this role means that speaker partnerships become more clearly positioned, more commercially relevant, and better aligned with demand in key markets. You will help create stronger keynote concepts, drive development projects forward, and contribute directly to growth across selected international markets.

- Base salary of £45,000
- Bonus linked to development projects and shared commercial results
- Flexible remote setup with access to co-working facilities
- Travel connected to speaker relationships, market development, and team collaboration
