Speaker Producer - Mandarin

About us:

Web Summit brings the world’s most impactful speakers to our global events. That’s how we became, in the words of Forbes, “the best tech conference on the planet”.

And we’re just getting started.

As we continue to grow globally, we’re looking for the most ambitious people to work with us.

The Role Overview:

The role of Web Summit’s Speakers Team is simple: we attract the speakers that make Web Summit so successful.

Now, that will be your job.

In recent years, Web Summit has been the first - sometimes only - tech event to call out the growing global impact of Chinese technology across every sector: AI, robotics, energy, transport, research, health, and infrastructure to name just a few.

We are looking for native Mandarin speakers to ensure the world gets to hear from and engage with China’s tech leaders, creators and thinkers at our events.

The Role Specifics:

Skills we like:

• Drive: Nothing beats hard work and a relentless determination to achieve your goals 

• Experience: Fast-paced environment (PR, talent agency, journalism, events, TV, Radio, or high-end hospitality).

• Communication: Exceptional writing and presenting skills. You must be able to sound professional, persuasive, and succinct.

• Contextual intelligence: Grounded understanding of China's tech and business ecosystem - players and dynamics -  and knowing how best to navigate your way to booking them

• Tools proficiency: Fluent with China-specific research and outreach tools, including WeChat, Weibo, Douyin, and Zhihu

• Team player: An excellent collaborator, with the ability to work equally well on your own initiative. 

• Curiosity: Willingness to learn, ask questions, and scale skills quickly.

• Personality: High Social IQ. You need to be someone people enjoy working with, even under intense pressure.

• Language: Fluent English is a must, alongside native-level Mandarin.

• Location: Hybrid attendance from offices in Dublin, Lisbon or Porto.

Benefits and perks:

- Subsidised healthcare, dental, employee assistance programme (EAP) and more.

- Pension contribution up to 6% (Irish-based only)

- A dedicated in-house L&D department, with access to workshops, online learning and resources to help you excel in your career development.

- Company laptop, generous annual leave and flexible working arrangements.

- Our very own Tramway Team, which drives community and morale-boosting events for employees to participate in.

- Annual company get-togethers, charity days, and monthly wellbeing talks.

- Wellness subsidy issued to all employees of €1000 per year

At Web Summit, we embrace diversity and inclusion. We want talent from all walks of life to help us on our journey to digitise the conference sector. Hiring decisions are made purely on experience, skills and the needs of the business.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
