Accelerated Management Trainee

Our core belief: leadership is demonstrated, not declared.

At LaunchOne80 Partners, every partner here started as a trainee and worked their way to senior operations, that’s the whole leadership team. You start in the customer-facing operation, learn our campaigns first-hand, then move into coaching, team development and coordination.

Team leadership here means owning your team’s results and their growth. We want ambitious people who want to understand how a commercial team actually operates, and who’ll earn greater responsibility through consistent performance, not time served.

Stage 1: Learn the Work

You’ll work alongside our field teams, learning our brand activation and events campaigns from the ground up.

• Engaging directly with customers across field-based campaigns and live events
• Learning our customer acquisition and sales process
• Representing national client brands professionally
• Building commercial awareness and communication skills
• Working toward individual and team targets
• Regular training and performance reviews

Future leaders understand the role they’re responsible for supporting before they lead it.

Stage 2: Learn to Lead

Once you’ve shown you’ve got the fundamentals, your role expands to include:

• Mentoring and coaching newer team members
• Understanding team performance and KPIs
• Helping run team meetings and campaign preparation
• Coordinating a field-based team
• Taking on more as your capability grows

Progression isn’t automatic and isn’t based on time served. It’s based on performance and demonstrated leadership. Every partner in the firm started exactly where you would.

Who We’re Looking For

No prior management experience needed. We’re more interested in whether you:

• Take ownership naturally
• Enjoy developing other people
• Can be coached before you coach others
• Communicate confidently and professionally
• Thrive in a performance-driven, target-focused environment
• Prefer hands-on experience over classroom learning
• Can work full-time, on-site in London

A background in sport, hospitality, retail, events, societies or customer service is a bonus, not a requirement.
