Since starting out in 2009, Web Summit has grown to become “one of the world’s biggest and best conferences” (Inc.). Want to be part of the talented team behind it all?
In the words of Digital Trends, we are “the stunning future of tech conferences”. RTÉ says Web Summit is “a star studded, informative and inspiring event”; Politico, “the Olympics of tech”; Tech.eu, “the most important annual tech event”; and The Guardian, “Glastonbury for geeks”.
Whatever Web Summit is, it wouldn’t be possible without an incredible team of more than 300 employees, including world-class engineers, data scientists, designers, producers, marketers, salespeople, operations experts and more.We’ve disrupted our industry by pairing mind-blowing events with unique software. We started with one: our European event, Web Summit. Now we’re making waves in North America with Web Summit Vancouver, in Asia with RISE, in South America with Web Summit Rio and in the Middle East with Web Summit Qatar.
We’ve revolutionised how people come together. And we’re just getting started.
It takes courage to pitch a brand new idea, and even more to own up to your mistakes.
We take pride in being unique, creating opportunities, and in doing what’s right — not what’s easy.
We’re not interested in the status quo. If something can be better, we want to make it better.
That means speaking up when you think something’s not working, and finding ingenious solutions along the way.
It’s the backbone of every great organisation. We can only thrive with respect, trust, and honesty as our foundation.
That’s why we try to show compassion and consideration in everything we do.
Building connections is part of the working environment at Web Summit. Whether that’s through collaborating with our talented teams by day, or socialising with your co-workers after hours, we want you to be yourself and be your best.
One of the best parts of working at Web Summit is the constant crossover and collaboration between different teams.
In the same way that no man is an island, no Web Summit team works in isolation.
The exposure to large projects like this was a new opportunity for me – it’s an extremely dynamic role. The journey has given me lots of opportunities, great mentors and plenty of people to learn from. You are given the autonomy to make decisions with your colleagues and there are so many opportunities available here if you put yourself forward.
If you’re applying or starting at Web Summit I’d say come open-hearted. It is a great place to work, make new friends and upskill, not just in your role, but with different teams in different areas of the event.
I joined Web Summit in 2018 with a mission to inspire growth and talent development through blended-learning experiences.
We offer a wide range of learning options, including in-house and virtual courses, online training platform options, department-customised roadmaps, guest speaker masterclasses, a company library, and engagement with top business schools.
I’m proud to work in a really ambitious, fast moving company.
Our software helps make Web Summit an amazing experience for thousands of attendees, and it helps other organisations and companies run their events too. Web Summit’s engineering team is at the core of our success.
This marks the inaugural release of Web Summit’s Gender Pay Gap Report in Ireland, aimed at promoting transparency and accountability in our commitment to gender equality in the workplace.
