About cat.treks

cat.treks is a women-only group adventure travel brand. We take women on trips they wouldn't book alone, with a crew they haven't met yet --- and most of them come home having made real friends.

We design for the part most travel companies ignore: how a group of strangers becomes a crew. That's a product problem, not a marketing one, and it runs through everything we build.

cat.treks sits alongside ESC (snowboard camps) in the same small group. You'll have your own brand to work on and a team around you who've built one before.

You own our events from first idea to pack-down. Community meetups, pre-trip crew gatherings, launch events, workshops, pop-ups --- the occasions where women meet us, meet each other, and decide to travel with us. You make an evening feel like the start of a trip.

What you'll do

• Create one flagship event each quarter: a unique, brand-defining event built to introduce cat.treks to new audiences, get people talking and promote the company brand
• Plan the event calendar: community meetups, pre-trip gatherings for crews about to travel, launch events, workshops and pop-ups
• Own each event end to end --- concept, venue, vendors, run of show, permits, pack-down
• Manage event budgets, and negotiate venue and supplier rates that stretch a small budget further than it should
• Work with marketing so every event has the right creatives, invites, sign-ups and follow-up
• Build partnerships with venues, brands and communities that fit cat.treks and bring their own audiences
• Host and run events on the day, and brief any freelancers or helpers supporting on-the-ground logistics
• Track sign-ups, attendance and cost per head, and report what each event actually returned: bookings, waitlist joins, community growth
• Turn each event into lasting community --- photos, recaps and follow-ups that turn attendees into travellers and advocates
• Travel to trips and destinations where an on-the-ground event helps

What you need

• 2+ years running events end to end, in events, hospitality, community or brand marketing
• Events you personally planned, budgeted and ran --- you can walk us through what worked and what didn't
• Strong vendor and venue negotiation; you know where the real costs hide
• Calm and practical when a supplier cancels an hour before doors
• Fluent English, and comfortable presenting to and hosting a room

Nice to have

• Experience with women's community, wellness or travel events
• Content instincts --- you know which moment will make the post
• Familiar with event ticketing and RSVP tools

Why you'll like it

• You build the community face of an early-stage brand, not a slot in someone else's event plan
• Direct access to the founders; your events shape what cat.treks is
• Every event is yours to design, run and learn from

What every role gets

• A seat on a small team that moves fast and ships real things
• Time on snow at our camps, where the role allows it
• Direct access to the founders, not layers of management
• Room to grow the role as the company grows

Everyone is welcome here. We actively support mid-career switchers, people looking for a second chance in life, and persons with disabilities (PWDs). It is our mission to consider everyone from all walks of life — if this role excites you, we want to hear from you.
