An Exciting Opportunity to Build a Career in International Events & Media

We are a long-established and highly respected international events and media business operating within a specialist global industry. With over 35 years of success, we work with some of the world’s leading trade exhibitions, conferences and media brands across Europe, the USA, the Middle East and Asia.

We are now looking for an ambitious, energetic and creative Sales & Marketing Assistant to join our friendly and growing team.

This is not your average office role. It is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to combine both sales and marketing within a fast-paced international business, while also gaining the chance to travel the world, attend major global events and become a genuinely valued part of a close-knit team.

Why This Role?

We are looking for someone with personality, confidence and a real “can-do” attitude.

The ideal candidate will enjoy speaking with people, building relationships, thinking creatively and getting stuck into a variety of projects. This role would suit someone who wants to grow professionally, take on responsibility and build a long-term future within the company.

For the right person, the opportunities are huge. You will gain hands-on experience across sales, marketing, social media, events and international business while working alongside an experienced and supportive team.

You will also have the exciting opportunity to travel overseas throughout the year to support major international exhibitions and events in locations such as:

• Europe
• Singapore
• Dubai
• The USA

If you are outgoing, motivated and eager to learn, this could be the perfect next step in your career.

The Role

As Sales & Marketing Assistant, you will support the team with a wide variety of sales, marketing and event-related activities.

This is a varied role where no two days are the same. One day you may be helping create engaging marketing campaigns and social media content, and the next you could be preparing for an international exhibition or supporting clients onsite at a major event overseas.

You will become an important part of the business and play a key role in helping drive growth across international markets.
