About Ascenda Global
Ascenda Global works with established brands to deliver customer acquisition, brand engagement and business development campaigns.
We're looking for ambitious individuals to join our team as Events Management Trainees, gaining practical experience across events, customer engagement, sales and team development.
The Opportunity
This role is designed for someone who enjoys working with people and wants to develop their skills in a fast-paced, team-focused environment.
You'll support live events, promotional campaigns, and customer engagement activities while learning how successful campaigns are planned, delivered, and measured.
Alongside the events side of the role, you'll develop valuable skills in sales, communication, customer acquisition and business development. Full training and ongoing coaching are provided.
As you develop, you'll have opportunities to take on greater responsibility within the team and progress towards leadership and management.
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.

- Comfortable working in a team environment
- Interested in developing a career in events, sales, marketing or business development
