About Us

Add to Event is an award-winning startup that has helped to find suppliers for over 100,000 events. Our innovative marketplace makes it incredibly easy to find whatever you need for your event, from Arabian tents to wood-fired pizza caterers. We’ve been used for everything from birthday parties to large corporate events for the likes of The BBC, Accenture and JP Morgan.

We are looking for someone with the capability to build and lead a team that will deliver on our ambition to be the world’s No. 1 marketplace for event services.

We are looking for a creative and technical thinker, who thrives on complicated challenges and has hands-on experience addressing growth, ideally for an online marketplace. An excellent problem solver with good technical judgment; your high standards and passion for delivering products will be matched by your technical and data driven approach.

Our aim is to create a workplace where talented employees who believe in our mission are able to have impact and grow from day one. Research tells us that some people may need to see 100 per cent of themselves in the job description before applying. Please do not let that hold you back. We would love to hear from you whatever the experiences are that have brought you to this point.

  • Flexible working - we are a remote-first organisation believing in asynchronous working practices. You won't find back-to-back Zoom meetings here!

  • Work hard, take breaks - 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays

  • Generous parental leave policies to support you as your family grows.

  • Company pension that allows you to save for the future.

  • Learning and development - we fully support your professional development, whether that's paying for new tools, books, courses or coaches.

As a remote first business, we have a flexible and collaborative approach to all aspects of our work. As such, we are open to discussions about flexible working for all our employees.

This includes our commitment to helping you work out your set up if home working just doesn't make sense for you.

How to apply...

Full managed

 

We take care of the entire process for you so we can manage and remove poor experiences like ghosting, no feedback, no updates and so on  🙌

 

All you have to do is let your Relationship Manager know you’re interested, ask them any questions you have and they will take care of the rest.

Straight to the front

From there, what’s next is super simple  😇

If you like the initial sound of the company/ role. We then act as your “in” with them and set up an initial phone chat with you and the Hiring Manager there. 

 

The chat will be pretty informal and should only last 10-15 minutes - It's a fact find for both of you. 

 

More than prepared 

 

Before the call we will send you EVERYTHING you'll need to know about the company / who they are looking for / format of the call and so on. 

 

You will be fully prepared and know what to expect at every stage 😀
