Job description

Leeds | Full-Time Availability | No Experience Required

Applicants must have the right to work in the UK. Leeds Events is unable to provide visa sponsorship for this opportunity, either now or in the future.

Interested in marketing but don't fancy spending all day staring at a screen?

At Leeds Events, we're looking for friendly, motivated people to get involved in our live events, promotional campaigns and face-to-face marketing activities across Leeds and the surrounding areas.

Forget sitting behind a desk scheduling social media posts. This is hands‑on marketing, where you'll be meeting people, representing brands and helping bring campaigns to life at shopping centres, pop‑up events and other busy locations.

You don't need a marketing degree or previous experience. A good attitude, confidence around people and a willingness to learn will get you off to a great start.

What you'll be getting involved in

• Representing brands at live events and promotional locations
• Speaking with customers and introducing products and services
• Supporting face‑to‑face marketing and sales campaigns
• Building customer relationships and creating positive brand experiences
• Developing practical communication, marketing and customer engagement skills
• Working alongside other enthusiastic, people-focused individuals

Who we're looking for

We're more interested in personality and potential than a polished CV.

You might be fresh out of university, coming from retail or hospitality, or simply looking to try something different.

You'll probably enjoy this opportunity if you:

• Enjoy meeting people and having a conversation
• Are confident, approachable and positive
• Like working in busy, social environments
• Have a bit of initiative and aren't afraid to get involved
• Are willing to learn and improve
• Want practical experience in events, marketing and sales

Why Leeds Events?

We believe the best way to learn marketing is to understand people.

You'll have access to practical guidance, ongoing support and the opportunity to develop your skills through real customer interactions and live campaigns.

As you gain experience, there's scope to become involved in more aspects of campaign activities, event coordination and supporting others.

No complicated jargon. No expectation that you know everything already. Just an opportunity to get involved, learn and develop.

Sound like your sort of thing?

If you're looking for a people-focused opportunity where no two days are quite the same, we'd like to hear from you.

Leeds Events is committed to providing equal opportunities and welcomes applications from people of all backgrounds. Applications are considered on suitability for the opportunity without discrimination on the basis of any protected characteristic.

Please note: This is an on‑site, face‑to‑face opportunity rather than a remote or hybrid position. Campaign locations and activities may vary according to current requirements.
