Marketing & Events Executive
Location: Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham (Office Based)
Hours: Full Time, 40 hours per week
Salary: From £27,976.00
Parallux is a new events company specialising in the creation of immersive seasonal experiences. Our flagship project is the launch of a brand-new Winter Light Trail at The Belfry Hotel & Resort, with ambitions to expand into additional venues and event concepts across the UK.
This is a unique opportunity to join the business from the very beginning and play a key role in shaping both the event and the Parallux brand. We are looking for someone creative, organised and driven who is excited by marketing, events and creating memorable experiences for thousands of guests.
Marketing will be at the heart of this role, but you will also be heavily involved in the planning and delivery of the event itself. From creating engaging social media content and growing the Parallux brand, through to helping manage staffing, suppliers and ticketing, no two days will be the same.
This isn’t a large corporate environment with rigid job descriptions. We’re looking for someone who enjoys bringing ideas to the table, taking ownership of projects and helping build something special from the ground up. If you’re someone who loves creating content, enjoys being involved in live events and wants to make a genuine impact, we’d love to hear from you.
