The Opportunity

We’re hiring a Senior Conference Producer to lead content strategy and programming for ISMG’s most technical cybersecurity conferences, including Hardwear.io and Nullcon.

This role is focused on building high-quality agendas, managing speaker ecosystems, and growing practitioner audiences—not event logistics.

What You'll Do

• Own end-to-end conference programming (themes, tracks, speaker selection)

• Manage the CFP process and evaluate technical submissions

• Build relationships with security researchers, engineers, and technical communities

• Develop advisory boards and repeat speaker networks

• Ensure content quality and relevance for a technical audience

• Partner with marketing and sales to align content with audience growth and sponsorship opportunities

• Contribute to portfolio growth (new topics, audiences, geographies)

What You Bring to the Table

• 5–8+ years in conference production, content strategy, or technical event programming

• Experience working with technical audiences (cybersecurity, engineering, developer, etc.)

• Strong judgment in evaluating content quality and speaker credibility

• Ability to manage multiple stakeholders (speakers, internal teams, sponsors)

• Comfortable balancing content integrity with business goals

Nice to have:

• Exposure to cybersecurity, hardware security, or offensive security communities

• Experience running CFP processes or technical speaker programs

Why Join ISMG?

• Work on globally recognized technical conferences (Hardwear.io, Nullcon)

• Engage directly with leading security researchers and engineers

• High ownership over content strategy and event direction

• Opportunity to shape and grow a global conference portfolio
