Events Marketing Manager

You'll build partnerships and marketing plans that help live events sell faster and reach the right audiences.

Why This Role Exists

The best experiences happen offline

Great events deserve great audiences. The strongest event launches are built on the right partnerships, local communities, and marketing moments that create momentum from day one.

You'll own how thumpN helps organisers amplify their events beyond our platform. From venue and promoter partnerships to regional campaigns, campus communities, and on-ground activations, you'll create repeatable playbooks that help every event launch stronger and scale smarter.
