Could you help organise a sustainable future? Join our dynamic team and drive impactful initiatives while supporting our senior management team in a diverse, sustainable-live-events-focused role.

Our senior management team and marketing partnerships require detail-oriented administration to manage engagements, business affairs, and activations. This diverse role necessitates coordination across a range of business management systems, from the Microsoft Office suite to social media platforms, resource management, and accounting software. As PA to the Senior Management Team you will apply your gift for organisation and natural ability with people across our internal departments, with a focus on marketing coordination, and externally, across YSTs supply chain partnerships. You can find a short company overview, job description, and application instructions below (please note that we do not work with recruitment agencies and only accept direct applications).

Who? ‘You. Smart. Thing.’ (YST) is the leading travel demand management platform for destinations, venues, and live events.

What? Our map-based travel assistant service enhances visitor experience & increases revenues whilst reducing the disproportionate carbon footprint created by travel.

Why? A 30% cut in transport carbon emissions by 2030 equals about 16% of required atmospheric decarbonisation for climate stability. * It’s a crucial step we can take now.

How? YST helps organisations achieve sustainability ROI by providing personalised low-carbon travel plans for visitors that incentivise behaviour change.

Which? Live events account for as much as 80% of transit-based emissions. This is why we focus on the sports, music, cultural, conference, and hospitality sectors.

When? Q3/4 2024. Whilst our approach is measured, there is a sense of urgency about helping our clients accelerate their journey towards net zero and beyond.

Where? Our platform and founding relationships were developed in the UK. We’re operational in Europe, North America, and Australia with roles available in each market.

*Based on 2021 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) data.
