A bit about Legal Tech Talk
LegalTechTalk started with a simple mission: to bring the legal community together to connect, share ideas and shape the future of law.

In under three years, we’ve grown into an award-winning event and community, welcoming 5,500+ attendees, 400+ speakers and 200 sponsors at our latest event. Now, we’re building towards an even bigger 2027, with 7,000+ attendees expected from across the legal ecosystem.

At the heart of it all are the people – those driving change, asking big questions and bringing fresh perspectives to an industry full of opportunity.

A bit about you
First things first: whatever your background, beliefs or ambitions, there’s a culture of belonging at Hyve — and everyone is welcome. The question isn’t where you’ve come from, but where you want to go.

You’ll thrive here if you’re curious, collaborative and not afraid to challenge convention. We look for people who take pride in what they do, who are excited by change and always moving forward. The kind of people who stay open, keep learning, and look for better ways to make an impact.

Our shared behaviours guide how we work: we dare to do things differently, own our work, embrace collaboration, stay true to ourselves and others, and remember that optimism wins.

If that sounds like you, you’ll fit right in.

A bit about the role
As the event is rapidly growing, we are hiring an Event Operations Manager to oversee show logistics and help deliver an exceptional experience for all attendees across our sponsors, speakers, and delegates.

In this role, you'll collaborate closely with our Operations team and vendors to ensure everything runs smoothly, with a focus on event production, catering, signage, and attendee logistics, as well as ancillary events.

We’re looking for someone who is adaptable, calm under pressure, creative, innovative, and ready to support the team in exploring new opportunities. Travel to our events will be required.

As part of your job, you’ll:

• Recruit and coordinate volunteer and temporary event staff and contractors, ensuring seamless scheduling and training.
• Lead the execution of high-value catering, managing menus, budgets, and costs to elevate the attendee experience.
• Curate and execute networking and ancillary events, managing venue selection, entertainment, décor, and catering.
• Support stakeholders, vendors, and the wider Operations team in coordinating furniture, AV, signage, and event elements.
• Project manage the delivery of activation programmes (such as the Launchpad competition, Vibeathon etc.), working with key internal and external stakeholders to facilitate this within the wider event.
• Work collaboratively with the Marketing team on end-to-end delivery of the pre-show side event programme, owning production and venue logistics.
• Alongside the Operations team, be responsible for onsite health & safety adherence, staying alert and on top of attendee experience for the welfare of all persons onsite.
• Analyse post-show and NPS data to drive strategic decisions and innovation.
• Stay ahead of industry trends by attending events, generating fresh ideas, and collaborating cross-functionally to execute seamless events.

Here’s what we’re looking for from you:
We’re looking for someone with at least three years’ experience in event management, particularly in event operations, production or logistics.

You’ll have proven experience managing catering, networking events and production logistics, ideally within large-scale B2B events, conferences, media or sponsorship.
