Why work for us?

We are transforming how we market the Motorpoint Arena and are looking for progressive and creative marketing professionals to join us on the journey - might that be you?



We are a vibrant, 10,000 capacity live entertainment venue in the heart of Nottingham that for 25 years has hosted world-class shows across music, comedy, family, arts, and sports. From Kylie, to Peter Kay, to Disney, to Panthers ice hockey and Forest Netball - no two days are the same.



Our sister venue is the National Ice Centre, where our community comes together for ice sports across figure, synchro and speed skating, and ice hockey. Whether you're a family enjoying skating for fun, or a budding professional gliding in the footsteps our local heroes Torvill and Dean, we provide the UK's best ice sports experience.



We welcome over one million people a year from all walks of life - our marketing team is responsible for engaging with our visitors from the start to the end of their experience with our venues, encouraging them to visit again, and finding new audiences to enjoy our shows.

You will have an experienced Graphic Designer reporting to you that will allow you to allocate our design and content resources to match the demands of the business.

What are we looking for?

Like all good creatives, you will have a curious mind and continually think about how customers engage with all forms of communication.

Being a designer, you will take pride in your attention to detail and be comfortable in challenging things that are not correct. You will have strong ownership and pride in your work.
