At Mips, marketing is about more than building awareness — it's about helping people understand how better helmet safety can protect them while they explore, perform, and push their limits.

Through education, events, brand activations, retail visibility, and digital content, you make our technology clear, relevant, and engaging. You also project manage events and activations globally, from early planning through execution and follow-up — so you'll need to be comfortable coordinating across functions, organizations, and time zones, and travelling as needed.

•      Coordinate multiple stakeholders, suppliers, timelines, and deliverables across different markets

•      Ensure all activities are delivered to a high standard, on time, and within the set budget

•      Capture insights and feedback from partners, retailers, and consumers to continuously improve future activities

Your background

•      Experience in trade marketing, brand marketing, or a similar B2B/B2C-facing role, ideally within the bike, snow, equestrian, or broader sport and outdoor industry

•      Experience building relationships with brands, retailers, or other commercial partners

•      Proven experience managing events or activations, ideally on an international scale

•      Ability to coordinate multiple stakeholders, activities, and deadlines simultaneously

•      Comfortable working with retailers and brand partners, including in-store or e-tail environments

•      Strong project management and organizational skills

•      Ability to manage budgets and ensure activities are delivered within agreed financial parameters

A plus if you also have:

•      Knowledge of retail, in-store marketing, or e-commerce environments

•      Experience collaborating with ambassadors, athletes, or community partners

•      Proficiency in an additional European language

A genuine interest in sport, safety, and the communities we serve is particularly important to us, and you are expected to be able to travel a few days every month.
