Job description

Double Dutch mixers are causing a stir in five-star hotels, restaurants and rooftops around the world. Poured where taste- and good vibes matter. Twin-founded and proudly independent, we were shaped by the hospitality industry - not built in the boardroom.

Crafted for those who take taste seriously but never themselves, our drinks bring bold flavour, vibrant personality, and a double dose of fun to every pour. Premium, but never predictable – we’re challenging what a mixer can be – one pour at a time.

The role:
From top-tier hospitality to culture-shaping events and bold collabs, Double Dutch shows up where great taste and good times collide. We're looking for a Junior Brand Activation Manager to help bring our bold personality to life in the real world across events, partnerships and activations. You’ll plan and deliver unforgettable experiences - from commercially savvy trade activations across hospitality to iconic consumer events that get people talking (and sipping).

What you’ll do:

• Activations
  Work closely with the Trade Marketing Manager to plan and deliver standout on-trade activations, trade shows, and industry events, building buzz and strengthening relationships with bars, pubs, restaurants, and hotels.
• Event Management
  Own the consumer events calendar, from strategy to flawless execution. Lead event planning with sharp project management, ensuring every moment is on-brand, on-budget, and impossible to forget. Confidently manage all stakeholders to ensure success.
• Partnerships
  Secure and manage high-impact brand partnerships that boost visibility, spark engagement, and align with our bold, vibrant world.
• Sponsorships & Sampling
  Source and manage sponsorship and sampling opportunities that put Double Dutch in the right hands and the right places. Always with maximum brand value and impact.

Who you are:

• A proactive problem-solver with strong project management skills.
• Passionate about people, developing long lasting relationships and creating memorable in-person experiences.
• Confident, creative, super organised, and excited to bring the Double Dutch brand to life.
• You will have availability to attend evening and weekends events occasionally - hours will be flexible accordingly.
• Experience in trade shows, events, and partnerships, with knowledge or passion for the UK on-trade/drinks industry.

What we offer:

• Salary of £35-45k DOE
• 25 Holiday days + Bank holidays
• Private Health Care
• Pension scheme
• Your birthday off
• Hybrid working
• Work Anniversary, celebration £££ for every year you are at Double Dutch
• Summer Fridays, one afternoon off per month in June, July and August
• Flexi working from anywhere, depending on your job and tender in the business
• Star of the month prizes
• And of course don’t forget unlimited free Double Dutch – cin, cin
