Job Description

About us & the role

We organize tradeshows and tech events that bring together startups, investors, and industry leaders. It's a fast-paced environment where marketing, design, sales, and on-the-ground operations all come together to make great events happen.

We're looking for a versatile intern who can take ownership of our daily marketing and operational rhythm — keeping our social channels alive, designing the materials we use on stage, helping us sell booth space, and running the recurring tasks that keep the company moving. You'll work directly with the founder and free up senior bandwidth for higher-level strategy.

Tasks

Social media & content (a big part of the role)

  • Publish daily content on LinkedIn to keep our visibility consistent and growing.
  • Keep Instagram and Twitter (X) active with regular posts, stories, and engagement.
  • Help plan and execute the content calendar across all channels.
  • Write short-form copy that sounds like us — not corporate, not generic.

Event & presentation design

  • Create and refine the decks and slides we use at our events.
  • Design social media visuals, one-pagers, and supporting marketing materials.
  • A real sense of design is essential — most of our work is event-facing, and how things look matters.

Operational support

  • Take ownership of recurring daily tasks currently on the founder's plate.
  • Track planning, deadlines, and deliverables across our event projects.
  • Coordinate with partners, suppliers, and team members to keep things moving.
  • Support on-site operations during events: welcoming startups, helping with check-ins, supporting investor/startup meetings.

Sales support

  • Help with prospecting and outreach to potential customers.
  • Focus on event booth sales, where demand is steady and there's a clear path to make a real impact.
  • Maintain CRM hygiene and follow-up sequences.

Requirements

What we're looking for

  • A strong sense of design — you can tell good slides from bad slides, and you know how to fix them.
  • Comfortable with social media tools and writing engaging content; solid level of English required.
  • Organized and proactive — you don't wait to be told what to do, you spot what needs doing and make it happen.
  • Curious about a mix of marketing, design, ops, and sales — this role touches all four.
  • Familiar with tools like Canva, Figma, Notion, and the usual social/scheduling platforms (or eager to learn fast).
  • Bonus: experience in events, in a startup, or running your own social channels.

Benefits

Why join us

  • Real ownership from day one — you'll be running parts of the business, not making coffee.
  • Front-row seat to the startup & VC ecosystem — meet founders, investors, and tech leaders.
  • Broad exposure — marketing, design, sales, and operations, all in one role.
  • A small, ambitious team — flat structure, fast feedback loops, and plenty of room to grow.
  • Travel opportunities — depending on the event calendar, you may join us on the road.
  • Flexible work setup in a fun, international environment.

How to apply

Tell us a bit about yourself — who you are, why this role caught your eye, and share one piece of design work or social content you're proud of (a deck, a post, a feed — anything that shows your eye). A CV is welcome but not enough on its own.

Our process is simple and fast:

  1. A 30-minute intro call to get to know each other.
  2. A short practical case (e.g., redesign a slide, draft a LinkedIn post).
  3. A final interview with the team.

About Sesamers

The event copilot for startups

We make events work for startups – intelligent matching, instant booking, flexible financing, and closed-loop measurement in one place.

90% of startups fail to leverage face-to-face engagement. Not because events don't work, but because the infrastructure is broken.

We're building the operating system for the €3B startup exhibition economy, transforming events from expensive chaos into predictable growth engines.

Who we serve:

- B2B/B2C startups (pre-seed to Series A)

- Event organizers who want to better serve startup exhibitor

The Transformation:

- From 100 hours/year → 10 hours/year on event marketing strategy

- From €25K spend → €1M+ pipeline generated

- From spreadsheet tracking → Data-driven optimization

Trusted by: 20k+ startups across Europe
