About us:

How did Web Summit become, in the words of Forbes, “the best tech conference on the planet”? Meaningful connections. Our tech events are unmissable because we make it easier for the right people to meet and connect. Everyone at Web Summit works towards this goal.


We’re always looking to build on the impact we have already made at Web Summit. In the coming years we’ll take Web Summit to new markets, promoting global connectivity, highlighting important issues and connecting global leaders – all while making a positive impact on the environment and communities we encounter.

To build a better company, we have to better ourselves. We do that by finding the most ambitious people to work with us.

About the team
Our Partnerships team recruits and curates the experience of advertisers, exhibitors and partners like Google, Facebook, HSBC, Box, KPMG, Audi, Coca Cola, and hundreds of others across all our conferences.
The team works with leading companies to offer our attendees unique experiences, whether it’s an engaging activation on the conference floor, via our online platforms or intimate networking dinner.
The partnerships team in Dublin is based out of the WeWork office on Harcourt Street.

  • You’ll create exciting, valuable proposals/solutions to highly innovative companies.
  • You’ll have the ability to travel to all of Web Summit’s events in Europe, North America and the beyond.

  • Exceptional problem solving, planning, time-management and communication skills.
  • Experience in structuring complex deal structures and exciting campaign initiatives that have generated significant value.
