Graduate Events Manager

Graduate Events Manager

Who We Are

Volta Ventures runs live sales events and in-store retail campaigns for major telecoms brands across the West Midlands. We're growing fast, and almost everyone leading a team here started in exactly the seat you'd be starting in — we build our managers from the ground up rather than hiring them in.

We're based in Birmingham city centre — a short walk from New Street, Moor Street and Snow Hill, and an easy commute from right across the West Midlands.

The Role

This is a graduate management-track role. The destination is leading your own team and running your own events and retail campaigns — the question is how fast you get there.

You'll start on the ground at our live events and in-store retail campaigns, working face to face with customers. That's deliberate: you can't lead a team through a campaign you've never run yourself, and it's the fastest, most honest way to learn what actually makes one work. From there, progression is structured and fast for people who earn it — hiring and onboarding your own event staff, coaching new starters, owning targets, and eventually leading teams across multiple sites.

What You'll Be Doing

• Learning the campaign from the ground up — face-to-face events and retail work for major telecoms brands
• Recruiting, onboarding and training new event and retail staff as you progress
• Coaching and developing team members on site, one-to-one and in groups
• Owning campaign targets and reporting on team and individual performance
• Taking on increasing responsibility for running events and retail locations
• Working toward leading teams across multiple sites

What We're Looking For

We care far more about attitude than your degree subject. You'll do well here if you're:

• A natural leader — people already come to you when something needs organising
• Competitive — you want a target and you want to beat it, and you want your team to beat theirs
• Organised — you can run several things, and several people, at once
• A strong communicator — confident starting conversations and confident giving direction
• Ambitious about people, not just numbers — you want to develop others, not just perform yourself

Any degree background welcome. No previous management or work experience needed — full training provided, starting on the ground and building toward leading a team.

What You Get

• Structured management development programme — a defined path from graduate trainee to team leader to running your own events and retail campaigns
• Base salary plus uncapped commission — a guaranteed foundation, with earnings rising in line with what you and your team deliver
• Monday to Friday, 8am–5pm, with extra hours available if you want to earn more
• International and domestic travel opportunities
• Networking events, team socials and Rising Stars recognition for top performers

Life at Volta Ventures

We promote from within, always. Every manager running a campaign today started exactly where you would. We work hard and celebrate it, and every day looks different because every campaign is different. If you want a real, fast route into leading a team rather than years waiting for the next rung — apply.

Where You'd Be Based

Our office is in Birmingham city centre, minutes from New Street, Moor Street and Snow Hill and well served by bus and tram. We regularly hire from Solihull, Wolverhampton, Coventry, Walsall, Dudley, West Bromwich, Sutton Coldfield and further out across the West Midlands and Staffordshire.
