Job Description

We’re looking for a commercially driven Partnerships Manager to grow sponsorship and exhibitor revenue for The Longevity Show — a major new platform for the global longevity economy, dedicated to helping people live longer, healthier lives.

Following a successful inaugural event at Tobacco Dock in June 2026 — welcoming 3,000+ attendees, 160 speakers, 100+ partners and exhibitors, and a sold-out expo — The Longevity Show is now building towards its second London edition in April 2027, alongside plans to launch in New York.

This is an opportunity to help shape the commercial growth of a proven event platform at an important moment. You will co-own the go-to-market commercial strategy, targeting brands, investors and institutions across health, wellness, biotech, diagnostics and consumer longevity.

You’ll craft compelling value propositions, build long-term relationships and deliver high-value partnerships that make The Longevity Show an essential meeting point for the global longevity industry.

The Longevity Show is part of the Founders Forum events universe, evolving from the successful Founders Longevity Forum series created in partnership with Longevity.Technology. Bringing together consumer audiences and senior industry leaders, the event explores the science and practical application of longevity across lifestyle, diagnostics, biohacking and clinical services. We are developing the platform alongside Phil Newman, Founder of Longevity.Technology, who brings extensive expertise and deep connections within the sector.

Founders Forum is Europe’s prominent entrepreneur community, focused around a number of events annually where our guests engage in open debate, brainstorms, discussion and problem solving in an intimate and collaborative atmosphere – building connections and discussing how to accelerate the positive impact of technology on the world.
