Zoopla is one of the UK’s most instantly recognisable property brands. In fact, we’re known and loved by over 91% of the nation (and we’re working hard on the other 9%). Our mission is to help the nation make better home decisions - by connecting everyone to their home and giving them personalised insights to help with moving, managing or financing. Over 50 million people visit Zoopla every month to access exclusive data and information on every UK property, search over 500,000 homes for sale and rent, find the best agents and secure the latest mortgage deals.

We’re a growing, dynamic team that embraces innovation and isn’t afraid to push the boundaries. We’re only just starting our journey to redefine the digital property landscape, with much more to explore and achieve. Join us, and transform the way the nation makes home decisions.

• Designing and executing multiple event marketing campaigns
• Implementing strong post-event nurture and follow-up flows with Sales
• Defining clear KPIs (attendance, engagement, sentiment, meetings, opportunities) and producing post-event insight reports with recommendations for continuous improvement

Champion Zoopla on the ground

Ensure every event aligns with Zoopla’s brand and commercial strategy, with messaging that makes our data, insights, and technology resonate with agents and partners. You’ll brief speakers, manage narratives, and apply brand guidelines across all touchpoints.
