totem leap – earn, learn and progress

Who are totem?

Totem is a rapidly growing virtual and hybrid events platform that is changing the way leading brands create and deliver their events. Whether in-person, virtually or a blend of both, Totem’s technology allows event planners to build, run and monitor events using real-time control. The platform enables the creation of highly customisable and fully branded events from a 10-person meeting to a 10,000+ attendee event.  

What is totem leap?

Following recent investment, the company is undergoing a significant phase of growth. We are looking for passionate, creative and outgoing people to join our internship programme, totem leap (learn, earn and progress). Working alongside members of our team, you’ll be joining an organisation of inquisitive and enquiring minds, looking to transform the events industry.  

We are looking for people who are excited by the opportunities and challenges that our internship programme has to offer. You will gain incredible first-hand experience across all of our disciplines – Motion Graphics, Design, Filming/Video Production, Editing, Streaming, and our own hybrid events platform – Totem Platform.

You’ll be supported throughout your journey with us by your buddy (who will have previously been on a similar intern journey), and a variety of talented and experienced mentors within each specialist discipline. You will also be supported by the Head of People, Culture & Talent through developmental workshops, personal & professional coaching, and wellbeing activities.

Structure of the Programme

The programme runs for one year with a fortnight induction period ‘The First Leap’, and then three levels (Foundation, Intermediate, Advanced) over the remaining 11 and a half months.

What you’ll be doing

Throughout the year you will have opportunity to experience the full range of disciplines within Totem. As you progress to higher levels you will be able to specialise within chosen departments. Within each placement you will shadow our experienced team members, take on projects, complete practical assessments, enhance your own learning and skills, and have time reflect on your own development.

There are also planned events with your buddy, Totem socials and a graduation after successful completion of the Advanced Level.

  • Familiarity with computers and general software
  • Ability to understand and communicate technical processes
  • Good attention to detail

  • Enjoys working within a tight-knit, collaborative team environment – is personable, fun to work with and enjoys working with a friendly team. 

What we offer:

This is a one year fixed-term paid internship. For our successful graduates there are opportunities to progress to be a full member of the team.
