Today, we power 25 million job seekers, 1 million+ employers, and 1,600 educational institutions. About the Role We are growing our EMEA team and looking for a Marketing & Events Coordinator to help us show up brilliantly – for the employers and universities we work with, and for the students we exist to serve. This role sits across both sides of our marketplace – B2B employer and agency activity, and D2C student-facing campaigns – so no two weeks look the same. You'll support our events calendar and social presence, work alongside agency partners and internal stakeholders, and build foundational marketing skills as part of the broader EMEA marketing team. You'll be hands-on: travelling to support events in person, coordinating with our agency, and learning what "good" looks like from the ground up, with guidance from your manager as you go. This is a developing role reporting into the Growth Marketing Strategist. You won't be expected to have all the answers on day one – you'll be executing defined pieces of work with support, building judgement over time, and growing into broader ownership as you demonstrate impact.
