Pharmaceutical Jobs

A job opening has arisen for a pharmaceutical conference organiser within eyeforpharma, a leading player in the pharma conference market.

They successfully produce more 24 events a year around the world attracting as many as 600 attendees per show and hosting CEO’s from the biggest names in pharma in their speaker panels.

Your job will be to drive events from inception to successful completion. What this means is that for up to 6 months, whether full-time or as part of your day, you will think about and act on the information collected straight from the biggest players in the pharmaceutical industry. This starts with research, where you will delve into the growth areas, areas of uncertainty and change, and key changes in the business models for the part of the industry that you’re focusing on. It doesn’t stop until you have a real understanding of the challenges members of this community are facing, and what would attract them to a meeting of industry members.

You will speak to the right executives from the companies that are doing the newest and most innovative work in this space. Knowing that business intelligence and networking are key to movement and success in this niche area, you will work towards devising a conference agenda that feeds the needs of executives that want to get ahead. You will create a website that drives those genuinely interested in this market to start interacting with our brand, and collect the details of members of this community.

With your ideal agenda in hand, you will go to the most interesting and respected members of the community and invite them to speak. You will call, email, speak to colleague and secretaries – whatever it takes to get the best people involved. You will use your research to identify the key marketing channels that will help you reach this community, and negotiate marketing deals with magazines, websites and journals. You will work with your colleagues to identify the companies that should sponsor the event, and help sell the benefits of supporting a dynamic meeting place for this community.

With a highly relevant agenda populated by the best speakers possible, you will create marketing material that will make the benefits of getting involved in the event clear and exciting. You will work with designers and copy writers to make sure my message is clear and focused, and use offline and online marketing to spread the word about the event. You will use social media including blogs, community websites, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and other new techniques to reach the community via multiple channels, and through interesting and sometimes unexpected means. You will also work with your sales team to ensure that you reach out to people and help them make arrangements to attend.

After months of driving the conference from a mere idea to one of the industry’s most respected networking events, you will travel to the conference and make sure everything pan’s out as it should on the day. After months of working in the area you don’t miss the opportunity to meet with the best people in this area, and start the research for next year’s conference while you have a coffee with them. And so the cycle starts again, as you look for new ways to tap into a fast-moving, ever-changing business area.
