Location: London - Oval (Hybrid - 4 days per week in office)
Salary: 30000 - 40000 per annum
What am I looking for
Hi Im Ahmed VP of Marketing at Zen Educate. Im looking for an ambitious high-energy Events Marketing Executive to help us build our events engine from the ground up. I need someone who isnt just looking for a job but someone who is hungry to learn obsessed with organisation and ready to turn events into one of our biggest growth channels.
This isnt a role where youll just be checking badges at a desk. This is about helping us scale. We want to be at every important conference in the UK and host our own bespoke events that clients talk about for months. Youll be working directly with me to execute a strategy that will 5x our event volume and impact.
Youll be the bridge between our marketing vision and our sales leaders across 10 UK regions. That means you need to be comfortable communicating with different stakeholders coordinating their needs and ensuring that when we show up we show up perfectly.
Heres what I value:
-Execution is everything. I value people who take ownership. You should be the kind of person who sees a problem and fixes it before anyone else notices staying structured and thoughtful while moving at pace.
-Radical Organisation. Events have a thousand moving parts. You need to be someone who lives for a checklist and finds peace in a well-managed project plan.
-A Roll up the sleeves attitude. No task is too small if it makes the event a success. You are as comfortable discussing strategy as you are packing event boxes or chasing guest speakers.
-Hunger to Grow. This is a Junior IC role with a massive ceiling. I value curiosity and a desire to solve problems rather than just identifying them.
If you love the thrill of seeing a plan come to life and want to play a key role in a mission-driven company Id love to hear from you.
What we are building and why
Getting the right teacher into the right school at the right time is a crucial problem to solve both for education outcomes for children and for the sustainability of an industry that spends billions on this.
Since launching in 2017 weve saved schools over 30 million and were just getting 2024 we closed the largest EdTech round in Europe and are expanding fast.
We are well established in the UK and growing at a phenomenal rate in the US
To fuel this growth we are building a world-class events engine. We believe that face-to-face connection is the most powerful way to build trust with schools and teachers. Were moving from attending events to owning the space and we need you to help us make that happen
What youll actually do
Lets get specific. Heres the kind of work youll lead:
Coordinate and Collaborate
-Act as a point of contact for sales leaders across 10 UK regions to help coordinate the local events they want to organise.
-Manage the invite-to-attendance funnel driving client interest and making sure the room is full of the right people.
-Support the broader marketing team to ensure event branding and messaging are top-tier.
Execute with Precision
-Handle the end-to-end logistics: from venue sourcing and catering to shipping kit and managing guest lists.
-Ensure every event goes off without a hitch through meticulous preparation and on-site support.
-Help us 5x our event output moving from a few key dates to a consistent high-frequency engine of activity.
Help Build the Foundation
-Work with the senior manager to execute our national events strategy.
-Help create the playbook for how Zen Educate shows up at conferences and hosts private events.
-Identify high-impact guest speakers and help manage those relationships.
Why this role is unique
-Ground Floor Opportunity: Youll be part of the core team building this channel from scratch. Your fingerprints will be all over our events strategy.
-High Visibility: Youll work across marketing and sales teams in 10 different regions giving you a unique birds-eye view of how a high-growth business operates.
-Huge Growth Potential: As this becomes one of our biggest marketing channels the opportunities for you to grow in seniority and responsibility are massive.
-Mission-Driven: Youll play a critical role in helping us support more schools and educators ensuring children get the best possible education.
What makes you a great fit
Youll thrive here if:
-You believe execution > theory: youre a doer who loves getting things across the finish line.
-You are scary organised: you have a system for everything and never let a detail slip through the cracks.
-You genuinely love the energy of events and people.
-You are a problem solver who doesnt get flustered when things change fast.
-You care about working at a company where the work actually matters.
What wont work here
We want to be upfront this role isnt for everyone. Heres what might make it a bad fit:
-You only like the creative part.
If you want to spend all day mood-boarding but hate the logistics of booking couriers or managing spreadsheets you wont enjoy this.
-You need your hand held.
We are a fast-moving team. While youll have support we need a self-starter who can take a task and run with it independently.
-You arent a fan of the details.
If you find planning and checklists tedious rather than essential this role will feel like a struggle.
-Youre a perfectionist.
We prioritise momentum and are looking to 5x our output. This requires a fast pace quick context-switching and a can-do attitude.
