OSB Events, the company behind the popular Outlaw Triathlon Series, is seeking an Events Assistant. The hybrid working full-time role will be office-based, at the company’s offices in Lincoln, UK, for a minimum of three days per week.
The company summarises the role as follows… ‘You will be involved in all aspects of the business – from the planning & delivering of social media plans, customer service, answering phone calls, event operations, to mention just a few aspects of the job. You will be the event lead for our supporting events, such as the Future Outlaw & Outlaw Swim events.
‘You do not need to be working in the events industry already but any experience you have will obviously be beneficial. The key is your social media knowledge, customer care skills, knowledge of the sport of triathlon & creativity. Strong grammar, communication and IT skills are essential, so any experience or qualification in these areas would be good.

Working with our marketing team & event partners, to communicate our key messages to our growing database of athletes & partners.
