Events & Operations Manager (Full-Time, London)

Company and culture

The Commercialiser® is a dynamic boutique consultancy firm specialising in negotiation advisory and execution working with the world’s largest firms on complex deals between $5m and $5Bn in size. Our mission is to help large enterprises increase their profits (B2B) and help day-to-day people become more conscious and get more of what they want from life by democratising the power of skilled negotiation (B2C).

This is not your standard 9 to 5 job, please only apply if you are interested in joining a mission, an unconventional team, are prepared to go all-in on the job, want to challenge yourself and the team around you, and have great fun in the process. We speak our minds directly, have no politics, and our values require radical honesty, radical transparency and direct vertical and horizontal feedback to foster our own positive development and that of our internal and external stakeholders.

We are uncompromising with performance standards. We expect people to come in, tell us what to do, project manage their key priorities, and redefine the role based on their personality and strengths as they support the business achieve its key results. There will be no manager keeping track of your daily progress. You will be given objectives and will be expected to achieve them.

In this process, you will be given a large degree of trust (e.g. we assume you’ll be completely honest and do the right thing for us and our stakeholders), operational freedom (e.g. working flexibly in terms of time and locations) and business critical responsibility upfront (e.g. end-to-end project leadership from ideation to completion). until you give us a reason to remove any of the above - which, should it happen, will result in the position being terminated.

If the above description does not sound exciting to you, please do not apply as you will not be a fit and will not enjoy the role.
