The Company is made up of 57 full-time event professionals. We’re a collaborative, friendly and sociable team with a courteous and attentive approach towards our clients and venues. This is an exciting opportunity to join a successful high-end production company and work on a huge range of exciting and creative projects.

**Company culture**:

This means that our esteemed employees are all co-owners of Wise. We believe that our co-ownership status is the answer to a more successful, sustainable and transparent way of doing business.

This means we take every voice seriously. It means we listen. It means we pride ourselves on retaining talent. It means our strategies are steered by growth. It means ideas are generated from every level of the business. It means our values are embedded in everything we do.

Wise fosters a cohesive, flexible and fun work environment in which co-owners (employees) are trusted and rewarded for their work efforts. We believe strongly in personal development, training, and a sustainable approach to business.

So if you’d like to be a business co-owner and help shape the future of Wise, we’d love to hear from you
