Content Producer – 121 Mining Investment & The Assay

Reports to: Head of Content Location: London, Paddington
Role Type: Fixed Term Contract- 1 Year

A bit about us

121 Mining Investment connects mining companies with the investors who can help fund their growth through a global series of highly focused investment events.

Alongside our events, The Assay is our year-round mining investment content platform, bringing together news, analysis, interviews, podcasts and insights from across the mining and investment community.

We are building an increasingly connected content offering across 121 Mining Investment and The Assay, creating conversations that start well before our events and continue long after them.

A bit about you

You’re curious, organised and full of ideas. You have a strong instinct for what makes an interesting story or conversation and enjoy turning that into content people genuinely want to watch, read or listen to.

You’ll be equally comfortable researching a new topic, approaching a potential speaker, putting together a speaker briefing document or helping shape the next podcast episode.

You don’t need to arrive as a mining expert. Experience or knowledge of mining, natural resources, finance or investment would be valuable, but curiosity and the ability to quickly get under the skin of a sector are just as important.

Most importantly, you’ll be a team player who is happy to get stuck in, take ownership and suggest new ways of doing things.

The bit about the role

Working closely with the Head of Content, the Content Producer will help deliver content across the 121 Mining Investment portfolio and The Assay.

It’s a varied role spanning live event programming, speaker recruitment and management, editorial content, newsletters, podcasts and video.

You’ll help us create compelling and relevant content for our audiences throughout the year, while ensuring our live event agendas bring together the people and conversations that matter to the global mining investment community.

You’ll also play an important role in building and managing an always-on content calendar, giving our marketing team a consistent pipeline of strong editorial, video and audio content to engage our community between events.

As part of your job, you’ll:

• Strong  research skills and genuine curiosity about business, markets and the  world around you.
• Excellent  organisation and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple  speakers, deadlines and projects at once.
• Confidence  communicating with senior stakeholders and building relationships with  contributors and speakers.
• An  understanding of what makes content engaging across different formats, from a live panel or breakout discussion to an article, podcast or video.
• Comfortable  working in a fast-moving environment where priorities can change quickly.
• A  collaborative approach and willingness to get stuck in wherever needed.
• Confidence  bringing forward new ideas rather than simply waiting for a brief.
• Mining,  natural resources, finance or investment experience would be beneficial,  but is not essential.
• Experience  producing podcasts, newsletters, editorial or video content would also be  an advantage.

Above all, we’re looking for someone who is curious, creative and dependable – someone who wants to become part of the mining investment community, build relationships within it and help us find new and interesting ways to tell its stories.
