Desirable

• Experience with CRM systems for email marketing and data management
• Familiarity with ticketing platforms (e.g. Ticketmaster, AXS, DICE, See Tickets) and managing listings, artwork, and copy
• Proficiency with editing software such as Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop and Premiere Pro
• Familiarity with AI tools for marketing (e.g. campaign optimisation and audience insights)

What We Offer

• Salary of £28,000 – £34,000, depending on experience
