Work at the Heart of the Composites Industry

Operations

Our operations team runs our events, from JEC World in Paris to the regional JEC Forums. The work starts months ahead with choosing a venue and planning the floor. It ends on site, with contractors briefed, stands built and every visitor welcomed at the entrance. The team also organises the business meetings programmes at JEC World and the JEC Forums, matching buyers and suppliers in pre-arranged one-to-one meetings.

Marketing

Our marketing team runs the campaigns that bring exhibitors, visitors, readers and subscribers to JEC World, our other events and our media. The team plans each campaign, manages our audience data and keeps testing new tools and methods. It also runs our social media channels, with a particular focus on LinkedIn.

Digital, data and CRM

Our digital, data and CRM team is responsible for JEC’s digital infrastructure: the websites for our events and institutional activities, and the registration and accreditation systems used at every JEC event. The team also manages the contact database and CRM, giving sales, marketing, media and communication a single, current view of exhibitors, visitors, readers and partners. The team also delivers IT support, managing the equipment, systems and networks, at our office and events, and tests new tools before they reach the rest of the team.

Our media team follows the composites industry all year round, from the plant floor to the research lab. They produce JEC Composites Magazine and its special editions, including the JEC Composites Observer, publish jeccomposites.com, and produce our newsletters, among them JEC Composites Market News and JEC Composites Insights on LinkedIn. They also identify and produce video content for JEC Web TV.

Our sales team works with the companies that exhibit at, sponsor and advertise with JEC. They sell stand space and sponsorship at JEC World and the JEC Forums, and advertising in our magazine, on our website and in our newsletters. With international sales managers and partners in several regions, they help each client choose the options that fit their business goals.

Our communication team sets JEC’s strategic messages and makes sure they hold across events, publications and institutional channels. The remit covers public relations, press relations for JEC and its events including journalist accreditation at JEC World, institutional partnerships, and keeping track of the regulatory developments that shape the industry, in close collaboration with partners such as the European Composites Industry Association EuCIA.

Finance covers budgets, purchasing, invoicing and payments across our events and publications. The team also handles supplier contracts and the invoicing of exhibitors and advertisers, in several currencies and under the tax rules of each country we hold an event in. As a not-for-profit, JEC puts its earnings back into its mission. The finance team is what makes that cycle work.

Human resources handles the practical side of working at JEC: recruitment, contracts, payroll, leave and absence. They also manage the HR processes, such as the annual reviews and the training plans, for our teams in Paris and abroad. The Human Resource team is also responsible for internal communication and company events.
