Intelligence Squared is looking for someone exceptional to lead our audience and marketing operation as we enter a new phase of growth. We are looking for someone who wants to build something.
You'll be joining a smart, ambitious team and taking ownership of a marketing function that has evolved quickly from almost nothing into a crucial part of the business. You'll manage one talented junior marketer plus freelancers, and you will work closely with the leadership team and the programming team across live events, memberships, partnerships and audience growth.
We need someone who is strategic, commercially minded, entrepreneurial, and highly organised - and also willing to roll up their sleeves and execute. One moment you might be planning a long-term audience growth strategy; the next you might be rewriting ad copy for a geopolitics event that goes on sale tomorrow morning.
This role would suit someone who has already spent several years working in live events, media, publishing, culture or audience-focused businesses and who now wants significantly more ownership and responsibility.
You should understand how modern audience growth actually works. Paid social, CRM, email strategy, ticket pacing, conversion funnels, audience segmentation, analytics, retargeting, creative testing - these should all feel familiar to you.

Intelligence Squared sits at the intersection of journalism, culture, politics and ideas. Our audience is intelligent, engaged and demanding. The way we frame and market events matters enormously. So we're looking for someone with strong editorial instincts who understands nuance, tone and cultural context.
We are also looking for someone ambitious. This is a role for a person who naturally goes beyond the job description. Someone energetic, proactive and hungry to build. Someone who gets excited by growth, momentum and solving problems. A person who wants to help shape the future of the company, not just manage campaigns inside it.
