Trainee Event Manager

Chelmsford, Essex | Full-Time | On Site | Training Provided

If you love working with people, enjoy busy environments and want a role where you're not doing the same thing every day, this could be a great place to start.

We're looking for a Trainee Event Manager to join a fun, ambitious team working on live promotional campaigns for recognised brands.

This isn't a traditional event planning or hospitality role. It's a customer-facing, sales-based position where you'll learn how live campaigns work from the ground up before developing towards event and campaign management.

Responsibilities of an Event Manager

• Work across live promotional events and campaigns
• Meet and engage with customers
• Represent brands and communicate their products and services
• Develop practical sales and customer acquisition skills
• Work with your team towards campaign targets
• Support the smooth day-to-day delivery of campaigns

What You'll Progress Into

As you gain experience, you'll have the opportunity to learn more about:

• Coordinating events and campaigns
• Organising and motivating teams
• Coaching newer team members
• Tracking campaign and sales performance
• Setting goals and improving results
• Taking greater responsibility for campaign delivery

The Candidate

You don't need previous event management experience. We're looking for someone who is:

• Confident, friendly and comfortable meeting new people
• Energetic and enjoys a fast-paced environment
• Reliable and willing to learn
• A good communicator and team player
• Motivated by goals and taking on new challenges
• Interested in events, sales, marketing or management

Experience in retail, hospitality, customer service, events or sales can be useful, but isn't essential.

Perks and benefits

• Competitive base pay
• Performance-based bonus structure
• Full hands-on training
• One-to-one coaching and mentoring
• Clear pathway towards event and campaign management
• Car allowance opportunities
• Regular team socials and team days
• Team dinners and performance incentives
• Company events and recognition

If you're looking for a people-focused role where you can gain experience, have fun with the team and work towards greater responsibility, apply today.
