TORONTO | Full-Time Availability | Entry Level
If you’re confident, sociable and enjoy being around people, this could be a great opportunity to develop valuable commercial experience.
Hype 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 GTA and the surrounding area.
This isn’t a desk-based position. You’ll be interacting directly with customers at pop-up events, shopping malls 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
Who we're looking for
Previous sales experience isn't essential.
We’re much more interested in attitude, personality and willingness to learn.
You might be coming from retail, hospitality, customer service or university - or simply looking for an opportunity to build practical experience in a people-focused environment.
You'll probably enjoy this opportunity if you're:
- 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
Why Hype Events?
We believe people develop faster when they're given responsibility, support and the opportunity to learn by doing.
You'll have access to hands-on guidance and ongoing development while gaining practical experience across sales, customer engagement, events and team working.
For those who perform well and want to take on more responsibility, there is scope to develop into campaign, training and team leadership responsibilities as you gain experience.
Interested?
If you're looking for something more interactive than sitting behind a desk all day - and you'd like to develop valuable skills while working with people - we'd like to hear from you.
Apply today and our team will be in touch with selected applicants.
