SOVO is building a different kind of school and we want to take that experience beyond the school campus. We are looking for an Experiential Events & Partnerships Lead who can conceptualise, execute, and grow a series of high-quality experiences for children and families across different locations.
This is a highly hands-on, all-rounder role. You will be responsible for taking an idea from concept → budget → execution → parent interaction → outcomes.
What you’ll do
- Curate and execute experiential events and activations for children and families.
- Develop event concepts that are engaging, well-designed, and aligned with SOVO's approach to learning.
- Own event budgets, vendor coordination, procurement, logistics, timelines, and on-ground execution.
- Coordinate with internal teams, external partners, vendors, venues, and facilitators.
- Identify and build partnerships with relevant brands, communities, societies, and organisations.
- Be present at events and take ownership of the entire on-ground experience.
- Speak with parents and families, understand their needs, and communicate the SOVO proposition clearly.
- Convert genuine interest into admissions enquiries and prospective families.
- Track event performance, leads, conversions, costs, and learnings to continuously improve future events.
- Help build repeatable systems so successful experiences can be taken to multiple locations.
Who we’re looking forWe’re looking for someone who is equal parts creator, operator, and salesperson. You should be someone who can walk into a blank space and think, “What could we build here?”—and then actually make it happen.
You should be
- Highly organised and comfortable managing multiple moving parts.
- Solid at communication, presentation, and relationship-building.
- Naturally confident speaking with parents, partners, vendors, and children.
- Commercially aware and comfortable working with budgets and targets.
- Good at selling without sounding like a salesperson.
- Resourceful, proactive, and comfortable solving problems on the ground.
- Comfortable owning things end-to-end rather than waiting for instructions.
- Curious about education, experiences, brands, communities, and how people interact with them.
ExperienceExperience in events, experiential marketing, brand activations, community building, partnerships, sales, hospitality, education, or a similar role would be valuable. We are less concerned about the exact title you've held before and more interested in whether you've built things, managed people and logistics, interacted with customers, and delivered experiences successfully. Why this role is differentYou'll help shape what the experience should be, figure out how to make it happen, take it to different audiences, and ultimately help turn those experiences into meaningful relationships with families. If you're someone who likes building from scratch, talking to people, solving problems, and making things happen, we'd like to hear from you.
