About Markato

Markato is a company driven by the belief that real human connections build meaningful brand experiences. We specialise in face-to-face event marketing, sales & customer acquisition, bringing brands to life at live activations, pop-ups, retail events, and promotional campaigns. Every day offers something new — from engaging conversations with customers to dynamic live activations in the field.

Role Overview

We’re looking for an outgoing Entry-Level Event Assistant to join our team and support live promotional events. This entry-level role is ideal for individuals who thrive in face-to-face, customer-facing environments, enjoy interacting with people, and are excited to develop their careers in sales, event execution, and brand representation. Sales will be a core part of this role — you’ll be engaging with people, sharing campaign stories, and driving participation or conversions during events.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Assist with setup, execution, and breakdown of live events and brand activations.
  • Engage directly with event attendees to share information, answer questions, and convey the campaign's value.
  • Drive customer interest and sales by clearly explaining products, promotions, or participation opportunities.
  • Build authentic conversations that increase awareness for the brand and campaign goals.
  • Help capture leads or sales directly at events.
  • Work closely with the team to deliver professional, high-impact interactions that reflect Markato values.

What We’re Looking For

  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills — confident speaking with diverse audiences.
  • Comfortable engaging people in direct, face-to-face interactions throughout an event.
  • A willingness to learn and grow in sales and event execution.
  • Positive, energetic attitude with a customer-first approach.
  • Flexible availability, including weekends and evenings as event schedules require.

Why Join Markato?

  • Hands-on training and career progression — develop skills in sales, marketing, communications, and leadership.
  • Opportunity to work in dynamic, in-person environments every day.
  • Be part of a purpose-driven team focused on real conversations and genuine customer connections.

If you’re ready to launch your career in events and sales, apply today. We look forward to learning how you’ll contribute to memorable face-to-face experiences with Markato.
