“Can you name your favourite brand without a second thought – and eloquently tell us why? Can you write a succinct yet powerful copy that practically sings on the page? Are you a hawk-eyed grammar nerd who also loves to break the rules (occasionally)?”

If you answered yes to all these questions, you might be just the Senior Content Executive we’re seeking!

Who we are:

We are This is Beyond. A fast-moving, fast-thinking and vibrant B2B events company. We have grown from an ambitious start-up to a worldwide leader in creating both innovative and ground-breaking B2B events. We are considered thought leaders in the luxury travel industry, making a real impact by defining specific travel genres and building passionate communities around them.

Today our portfolio is made up of both revolutionary and category-smashing global travel trade shows, along with a fast-growing luxury membership club for the who’s who of luxury movers and shakers. We are obsessive about curating just the right crowd because there’s no substitute for great chemistry. Plus, we’re allergic to boring formats. So, expect exclusivity, expect inspiration, expect imaginative, immersive experiences that don’t feel like work! That’s exactly why they’re great for business.
