We're hiring a Portfolio Manager to join The Finance Hive and take full ownership of one of our most influential buy-side trading communities. This is a hybrid role for someone who thrives at the intersection of content, community, and commercial success. You'll lead every aspect of your portfolio - from curating agenda-setting in-person and digital events, to engaging senior buy-side traders from firms like BlackRock, Vanguard, and Fidelity, to collaborating with commercial partners to deliver value through strategic event partnerships.
While this role sits within our events team, it's far more than event production - this is about driving a year-round engagement strategy and becoming a trusted voice within a key capital markets community.
