This role will establish a repeatable process to manage the database and communications for the Top 300 CIOs in Germany, ensuring consistent engagement and participation across Foundry’s enterprise event portfolio.
  • The successful candidate will also recruit and activate media contributors from within this CIO network, supporting event programming and contributing to Foundry’s media and content outputs. This is a highly stakeholder-facing role requiring strong communications expertise in a media environment, alongside a practical working knowledge of the German IT sector and the ability to engage CIO-level professionals professionally and consistently.

Key Responsibilities

  • Top 300 CIO Community Management (Database + Communications Process)
  • Design, implement, and maintain a structured process for managing the Top 300 CIO database in Germany.

  • Hamburg IT Strategy Days
  • CIO des Jahres
  • IT Strategy Days Masterclass
  • Custom Foundry events in Germany
  • CIO Leadership Live
  • Build and manage an engagement plan per event (timelines, outreach targets, speaker shortlists, confirmation tracking, follow-up).
  • Recruiting, managing and active collaboration with existing community organizations and associations where CIOs, CDOs, CISOs, etc. are members (VOICE, MünchnerKreis, Bitkom, etc.)
  • Speaker & Panelist Sourcing and Activation
  • Identify suitable CIOs and enterprise leaders from the Top 300 pool and coordinate them through the speaker/panelist journey.
  • Support internal planning with speaker availability, topic alignment, and requirements gathering (format, objectives, session needs).
  • Recruit Media Contributors from the CIO Pool
  • Recruit and onboard CIOs and select stakeholders from the community as media contributors (e.g., interviews, thought leadership, quotes, contributed articles, case-led perspectives, event-linked content).
  • Work closely with Foundry media/content teams to align contributor needs, editorial direction, timelines, and approvals.
  • Communications & Media Experience Execution
  • Leverage experience in communications within a media environment to craft compelling outreach and contributor engagement.
  • Coordinate preparation of contributor materials (briefs, angles, interview prep support) to ensure high-quality outputs.
  • Stakeholder Management and Relationship Building
  • Build strong, long-term relationships with CIOs and senior enterprise stakeholders.
  • Maintain a professional, high-trust approach appropriate for executive audiences.
  • Event Support & On-Site Presence
  • Represent Foundry at events, support speaker logistics as needed, and ensure community engagement remains strong before, during, and after events.
  • Reporting and Continuous Improvement

  • Strong project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple event cycles and communication timelines simultaneously.
  • Willingness and ability to travel regularly for events
