EVENTS AND PROMOTIONS MANAGER
Nightlife Events
- Pay: £14.80 per hour plus performance bonuses and profit share on selected events
- Hours: Minimum 25 hours per week, with additional paid hours during peak periods
- Location: London, combining flexible planning with meetings, promotional activity and on-site event work
- Availability: Every Saturday night is essential. Availability will also be required for Freshers activity, launches, Halloween, New Year’s Eve and other major events.
READ THIS BEFORE APPLYING
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A 9 TO 5 DESK JOB, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU.
This is a hands-on nightlife role requiring genuine commitment, personal responsibility, and flexibility. Before applying, please make sure that:
- You can work every Saturday night and commit to at least 25 hours every week
- You can work additional hours during Freshers, launches, Halloween, New Year’s Eve, and other major events
- You are comfortable with late finishes, evening meetings, daytime promotional activity, and occasional early starts
- You are prepared to approach new people, generate leads, develop partnerships, and actively sell events
- You are looking for meaningful responsibility rather than a casual nightlife job
- You can remain responsive and focused when campaigns become busy or plans change
There will be flexibility around certain weekday planning hours, but that flexibility must work both ways. If you need a consistently predictable timetable or want a role that can be fitted casually around another full-time job, this position is unlikely to be suitable.
ABOUT YOU
We are looking for someone who takes initiative and creates opportunities rather than waiting to be given a daily list of tasks. You should be:
- Outgoing, sociable, and confident approaching people you do not already know
- Comfortable turning conversations into bookings, partnerships, and commercial opportunities
- Commercially minded and motivated by sales, targets, and event growth
- Capable of building relationships with universities, societies, sports teams, language schools, accommodation providers, venues, and group organizers
- Familiar with London’s nightlife market and ideally connected to student, international, hospitality, or events communities
- Comfortable identifying and approaching creators, influencers, and event hosts
- Creative and aware of current nightlife, social media, and consumer trends
- Organized, reliable, and able to work independently without constant supervision
- Prepared to take responsibility for outcomes, not simply complete assigned tasks
- Confident managing representatives, promotional staff, and event hosts
- Professional when dealing with venues, partners, suppliers, and customers
- Calm under pressure and comfortable handling challenging situations during live events

Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Our wider ecosystem also includes ClubTicket, a growing ticketing and events platform working with venues, promoters, societies, and independent event organizers to develop audiences and increase ticket sales.
THE OPPORTUNITY

Alongside the weekly event, you will support selected Nightlife Events projects, develop new business opportunities for ClubTicket, and help grow relationships across our events ecosystem. This role combines event management, promotions, partnerships, sales, and business development.
