Opportunity
We're looking for a commercially driven Senior Partnerships Manager to grow sponsorship and exhibitor revenue for The Longevity Show - a major consumer event within the global longevity economy, dedicated to helping people live longer, healthier lives.
Our inaugural edition at Tobacco Dock in June 2026 drew 3,000+ onsite attendees, 160+ speakers across 4 stages, 100+ partners and exhibitors, a 200+ person Gala Dinner and a sold-out expo. 87% of our partners and exhibitors rated the experience very good or excellent, and 71% said they'd come back in 2027.
We're now scaling fast. London returns to Tobacco Dock on 16-17 April 2027 for a bigger, more ambitious second edition, alongside plans to launch The Longevity Show in New York for the first time - building the same platform for the world's most active longevity market. This is your chance to shape the commercial growth of a proven event platform at a defining moment, as it grows from a single successful launch into a global franchise.
You'll co-own the go-to-market commercial strategy for the London show, targeting brands, investors and institutions across health, wellness, biotech, diagnostics and consumer longevity - with the added pull of a platform that's now expanding internationally. 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 sits within the Founders Forum events universe, evolved from the Founders Longevity Forum series created in partnership with Longevity.Technology. We continue to develop the platform alongside Phil Newman, Founder of Longevity.Technology, who brings extensive expertise and deep connections within the sector.
