Editorial Manager — SIGNAL WEEK

As Editorial Manager at Signal Week, you shape the institutional conversation around digital assets and the future of finance. Signal Week is the summit for TradFi and digital assets convergence, drawing 10,000+ attendees from 100+ countries-70% holding C-suite positions-including 250+ banks and financial institutions, over $50T in assets under management, and 70 government officials and regulators. You will work closely with the Co-founders and Head of Content on the full editorial cycle, from programme conception through live event delivery, identifying key themes, sourcing speakers, and curating sessions that matter.

What you'll do

• Contribute to Signal Week's editorial vision by identifying key themes, open questions, and narrative arcs that resonate with senior audiences in digital assets.
• Research and map the digital assets ecosystem across areas like Programmable Finance, Regulation & Compliance, tokenisation, institutional adoption, and stablecoins to surface compelling, timely topics and underexplored angles.
• Propose and structure sessions, panels, and formats that generate real intellectual value, not just brand visibility.
• Build targeted lists of high-calibre speakers: executives from financial institutions, regulators, protocol founders, investors, researchers, and policy experts.
• Write and send personalised outreach to prospective speakers and manage relationships through to confirmation and preparation.
• Brief confirmed speakers ahead of their sessions to ensure alignment with the session's intent and the event's overall narrative.
• Draft session descriptions and programme copy that communicate the sophistication and ambition of Signal Week.
• Work with the Marketing team to translate editorial content into compelling promotional materials.
• Collaborate with the Sales team to integrate sponsored speaking slots without compromising editorial standards.
• Provide on-site support to speakers: briefings, backstage coordination, and smooth panel delivery.
• Assist in orchestrating the live agenda and managing last-minute changes with composure.

What you bring

• Native or full professional fluency in English (French is a plus; other languages welcome).
• Currently enrolled in a Master's programme in finance, economics, journalism, political science, international affairs, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• Genuine, demonstrable knowledge or expertise in blockchain, digital assets, or the intersection of finance and technology-you follow the space and can engage meaningfully with it.
• Strong research and writing skills-you can distil a complex topic into a sharp, focused session proposal.
• Comfort engaging with senior professionals, including C-level executives, institutional investors, and regulators.
• Organised, proactive approach to managing multiple workstreams in a fast-paced environment.

Nice to have

• Previous experience in editorial, content strategy, journalism, or events (internship or otherwise).
• Familiarity with the digital assets landscape: key protocols, market structure, regulatory frameworks (MiCA, etc.), and institutional dynamics.
• An editorial instinct-the ability to distinguish between a topic that is trending and one that is genuinely worth debating.
• The interpersonal confidence to reach out to a CIO, a DeFi founder, and a central banker in the same week, and make each feel the conversation is worth their time.

What we offer

• Real editorial ownership-your research and outreach will directly shape Signal Week's programme, not just support it.
• Access to 8,000+ of the world's most influential voices in finance, blockchain, and digital assets.
• A fast-paced, multicultural, and entrepreneurial environment where curiosity and initiative are genuinely valued.

• An experience that positions you at the frontier of one of the most consequential industry shifts of our time.
• Full access to a premium AI toolset, with the budget to keep adding to it.
