Event Technology Project Intern (SG)

Searix is APAC's leading creative technology agency, providing various digital systems for experiential lead generation and engagement at over 1,000 events and campaigns that we support in a year. These events include marketing brand activations, product launches, trade show exhibitions, conferences, gala dinners and various others by corporates and government organisations.

As an Event Technology Project Intern, your primary function will be to support the smooth and continued deployment and usage of various digital systems at these events and campaigns.

You will do this by:

  • Learning about the core suite of products within Searix.
  • Assisting a Project Manager with project management tasks, including account servicing, stakeholder management, liaison and project operations - this may include writing project specifications, negotiating project priorities and timelines, etc.
  • Coordinating the resources (software designers and developers, rental suppliers, partner agencies, etc.) required to ensure smooth service delivery.
  • Deploying our systems and related resources both online and on-site by setting up the appropriate equipment and configurations, as well as doing testing to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the systems.

While most of your work can be done remotely, you will be required to be present at events in Singapore when we are engaged for them.

This is a full-time position that does not have an office, and has no intention for one in the near future. Working hours are generally flexible as well but you are expected to be responsible for operationalising at events, many of which may occur on Friday nights and Saturdays.
