Editorial Manager (Signal Week) H/F

Our mission at Les Nouvelles Recrues

We recruit you for who you are, not only for what's expected of you — and above all, we help you find THE role that fits YOU.
Today, we're recruiting an Editorial Manager for our client, Chain of Events , the company behind the events where the people shaping technology actually meet — based in Paris.

About the company

Chain of Events runs three summits, all in Paris, all within the same week:

• Signal Week — the institutional summit for digital assets. Founded in 2019 as Paris Blockchain Week and elevated to Signal Week in 2026, it draws 10,000+ attendees from 100+ countries, roughly 70% of them C-suite. Its last edition convened 250+ banks and financial institutions, over $50T in assets under management, and 70 government officials and regulators — BlackRock, J.P. Morgan, Deutsche Bank, Fidelity, BNY Mellon, Citi, the London Stock Exchange, ESMA and the European Commission among them. The thesis: TradFi and digital assets are no longer two industries but one financial system being rebuilt on shared rails.

• RAISE Summit — the AI summit for decision-makers. Launched in 2024, it has grown from 2,000 to 9,000+ attendees across three editions (80%+ C-level, from 76 countries), with 350+ speakers spanning AI infrastructure, enterprise adoption, agentic systems, sovereignty and policy. The 2026 edition at the Carrousel du Louvre featured Mark Cuban, Yann LeCun and Nelson Griggs (Nasdaq), plus the Versailles AI Gala, the RAISE Hackathon and RAISE the STAKES (1,100+ startup applications in 2026).

• MACHINA Summit — Europe's leading event dedicated to Physical AI: intelligence that acts on the real world through humanoids, industrial robotics, autonomous systems and next-generation human–machine interfaces. Its inaugural 2026 edition brought together the labs building humanoids and the enterprises deploying robotics at scale, with speakers from Google DeepMind, Boston Dynamics, NVIDIA, 1X, Apptronik and Agility Robotics. It's the fastest-moving brand in the portfolio, with the most white space ahead of it.

In July 2026, all three brands were acquired by Hyve Group , the global B2B events organiser behind Fintech Meetup, HLTH and Shoptalk. In July 2027, they'll converge on the Palais des Congrès during the exact same week.

The role and its challenges

This is not a support role. As Editorial Manager for Signal Week, you'll bring a real perspective on the digital assets industry and help curate the conversations that define where it's heading. You're expected to have opinions, spot the right voices and shape the debates that matter — from early programme conception all the way to live delivery.

Your missions:

• Shape the programme — contribute to Signal Week's editorial vision: key themes, open questions and narrative arcs that resonate with a senior audience. Map the digital assets ecosystem (programmable finance, regulation & compliance, tokenisation, institutional adoption, stablecoins) to surface timely topics and underexplored angles. Propose sessions, panels and formats that create real intellectual value, not just brand visibility.

• Find and land the right speakers — build targeted lists of high-calibre speakers: executives from financial institutions, regulators, protocol founders, investors, researchers and policy experts. Write personalised outreach and manage the relationship through to confirmation and preparation. Brief speakers so each session matches its intent and the event's overall narrative.

• Write and coordinate content — draft session descriptions and programme copy that carry the sophistication and ambition of Signal Week. Work with Marketing to turn editorial content into compelling promotional materials, and with Sales to integrate sponsored slots without compromising editorial standards.

• Deliver on-site — support speakers with briefings, backstage coordination and smooth panel delivery, and help orchestrate the live agenda — including last-minute changes, handled with composure.

Growth and learning

• Real editorial ownership: your research and outreach 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.

• Direct exposure to the leaders and debates shaping the future of money, markets and digital infrastructure.

• A seat at the frontier of one of the most consequential industry shifts of our time — in a portfolio heading into a new phase with Hyve Group.

Your future team

You'll report to the Head of Content and work closely with the Co-founders across the full editorial cycle. Day to day, you'll collaborate with the Marketing, Sales and Customer Success teams across Chain of Events. Expect a fast-paced, multicultural and entrepreneurial environment where curiosity and initiative are genuinely valued.

About you

• You're native or fully professional in English (French is a plus, other languages welcome).

• You have a Master's background in finance, economics, journalism, political science, international affairs or a related field — or equivalent experience.

• You have genuine, demonstrable knowledge of blockchain, digital assets or the intersection of finance and technology — ideally including key protocols, market structure, regulatory frameworks (MiCA, etc.) and institutional dynamics.

• You have an editorial instinct: you can tell a topic that's trending from one that's genuinely worth debating.

• You have strong research and writing skills — you can distil a complex topic into a sharp, focused session proposal.

• You're comfortable with senior profiles (C-level, institutional investors, regulators) and confident enough 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.

• You're organised, proactive and able to juggle multiple workstreams at speed.

• Ideally, you have previous experience in editorial, content strategy, journalism or events (internship or otherwise).
