• Engage directly with event attendees to share information, answer questions, and convey the campaign's value.
• Drive customer interest and sales by clearly explaining products, promotions, or participation opportunities.
• Build authentic conversations that increase awareness for the brand and campaign goals.
• Help capture leads or sales directly at events.
• Work closely with the team to deliver professional, high-impact interactions that reflect Markato values.

• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills - confident speaking with diverse audiences.
• Comfortable engaging people in direct, face-to-face interactions throughout an event.
• A willingness to learn and grow in sales and event execution.
• Positive, energetic attitude with a customer-first approach.
• Flexible availability, including weekends and evenings as event schedules require.

• Hands-on training and career progression - develop skills in sales, marketing, communications, and leadership.
• Opportunity to work in dynamic, in-person environments every day.
• Be part of a purpose-driven team focused on real conversations and genuine customer connections.
