We publish stories, host events, and build community at the frontiers of tech and security.

The team comprises industry veterans with exceptional experience and networks.

• Website Management: Maintain and update event pages, profiles, and schedules as needed
• Inbound Partnerships: Manage and respond to interest from sponsors, collaborators, and community members
• Operational Support: Liaise with vendors, speakers, and venue partners to ensure smooth delivery

We’re Looking For

• Experience in project or event management, ideally with a startup or media background
• Comfortable juggling multiple moving parts in a fast-paced environment
• Interest in startups and venture capital, and ideally defence and security
• Familiar with tools like Google Workspace, Notion, basic CMS platforms, and social scheduling tools
• Excellent communication and coordination skills—you keep things moving and people informed
• Self-starter who thrives in founder-led, entrepreneurial settings

The Deal

• 6-month part-time contract (flexible schedule, approx. 2–3 days/week)
• Remote-first, but London-based candidates encouraged; will need to be on-site during London Defence Tech Week
• Work directly with the founders of Resilience Media
• A unique opportunity to help shape one of the most timely events in defence, technology, and democracy
