If so, get in touch.

　　We recently became an official partner with The Hundred and Six Nations Rugby - exciting - we know! In addition, we deliver market leading experiences across a portfolio of Global signature events. In this role, you’ll join a brand-new team and put yourself on the map as the innovative and creative pioneer for bringing our brand, Sage, to life.

Your role will be critical for bringing Sage to the forefront of people’s minds which will be achieved by supporting the Director of Sports Sponsorship to maximize our Sponsorship contracts and collaborate with the events team to create innovative and memorable brand experiences. You’ll also manage agencies and internal brand education. We estimate this role to be 25% strategy and 75% tactical.

　　Team Purpose:

　　We are contributing to Sage's transformation from a B2B (business-to-business) to an H2H (human-to-human) brand by creating real & human brand experiences for our customers and colleagues. We are the creative foundation for delivering unique experiences that drive brand awareness and fame. Our Brand Experience team has a global scope and our brand ambition and values are central to our work. Everything we do incorporates our values - Human, Trust, Bold, and Simplicity.

　　People make Sage great. From our colleagues delivering ground-breaking solutions to the customers who use them: people have helped us grow for more than forty years, and people are driving our future as a great SaaS company. We're writing our next chapter. Be part of it!

　　At Sage, we recognize that the world of work has rapidly shifted over the last few years, particularly how we work. That is why we have committed to working in a hybrid way going forward. Human connection is an essential ingredient of the 4 principles that make up our Flexible Human Work hybrid framework and we want to be transparent in what that looks like when you join our Sage family. On one hand, our offices will continue to play an important role in our future and serve as a place for spontaneous conversations, connection, collaboration as well as focused time. On the other hand, we have learned to reimagine where and when we work and to unlock that flexibility and innovation for our colleagues offering them the opportunity to work flex across their home, Sage offices or customer sites.
