At Zinc, events are about so much more than showing up. They’re where our brand comes to life, where online conversations turn into real relationships, and where we get to create experiences that people remember. From some of the biggest trade shows in our industry to smaller, more intimate events, we want every Zinc event to feel thoughtful, creative and unmistakably us.
Events sits within Marketing and plays an important role in how we build our brand, create demand and generate pipeline. As Junior Events Manager, you’ll help bring our events programme to life, working closely with Marketing, Sales, Outbound, Creative and our external partners to make sure every event runs brilliantly.
This is a hands-on role for someone who loves making things happen. You’ll get stuck into everything from planning and logistics to attendee communications and on-the-day delivery, while learning how great events can build our brand and contribute to commercial growth. We’re looking for someone organised, proactive and excited to make things happen.
***We’re heading off on our company retreat to Italy , so you likely won’t hear from us about your application until we’re back on 21 September . Thanks in advance for your patience while we’re away!
Once we’re back, we expect to move pretty quickly through the process, so you shouldn’t be waiting around for long between stages.***
