Leeds Events is looking for Event Sales Assistants to join our growing network, representing brands through live events, promotional campaigns and face-to-face customer engagement across Leeds and the surrounding area.
This isn’t a desk-based position. You’ll be interacting directly with customers at pop-up events, shopping centres and other busy locations — starting conversations, building interest and helping our campaigns make an impact.
What you'll be doing
- Engaging with customers face-to-face at events and promotional locations
- Representing campaigns in a professional and engaging way
- Introducing products, services and promotions to potential customers
- Working alongside a positive, energetic group of people
- Developing your confidence, communication and sales skills
- Gaining practical experience of successful events and customer-acquisition campaigns
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

- Comfortable meeting and speaking with new people
- Positive, reliable and motivated
- Competitive without taking yourself too seriously
- Keen to learn and improve
- Happy in busy, social environments
- Interested in developing your commercial and communication skills
