Senior Speakers Bureau Specialist

Job Description:

The Speakers Bureau team runs some of the most visible programming at Workhuman — from mainstage keynotes and customer speakers to executive thought leadership and webinar content. Behind every well-run session, prepared speaker, and on-time deliverable is someone making it all happen. 

When our executives walk into the right room, our customer speakers take the stage prepared and confident, and world-renowned thought leaders headline our events; it opens doors, deepens trust, and moves real business conversations forward. This role exists to make sure the work behind the scenes is as strong as what shows up on stage. 

We're looking for a Senior Speakers Bureau Specialist to be the execution layer across the full team. You'll keep the trains running: tracking commitments, coordinating logistics, drafting speaker briefs and prep materials, and making sure nothing slips — whether that's an executive keynote, a customer speaker appearance, a thought leader presentation or a live event session. You'll move across the team where you're needed most, which means you'll build skills fast and see firsthand how speaker strategy gets made and delivered on a global scale. 

If you're early in your career and looking for a role where you'll build fast, own real work, and be in the room for moments that matter — and you're sharp, organized, and ready to hit the ground running — we'd love to hear from you.
