Job Summary
Job Description
This role sits across everything On Sale Group does. The expo, the masterclasses, the community and the communications that hold them together.
You will support the delivery of On Sale Live: The Experience Economy Expo, working across speakers, delegates,
exhibitors and suppliers. You will also coordinate the GIEM masterclass programme and produce the communications that reach our community.
It is a broad role in a small team. You will be organising a speaker one day and building an email campaign the next. The variety is the point, and it is the fastest way to learn how live events and marketing programmes are actually built.
You will report directly to the founder and CEO, with the support of a senior team and freelance support around you. That means real exposure and close mentoring, and it also means you will be trusted with things quickly.
