Thank you for looking into the career opportunities at UBM Live. In this section you’ll find more information about our values, our culture, our offer, and growth opportunities. This section is designed to give you a better sense of whether UBM Live may be a good fit for you.

There is no typical UBM Live employee – people of different ages, genders, races, cultures, sexual orientation, education, physical ability and personality are all represented at UBM. What unites us is the professional excellence and entrepreneurial spirit that keeps the business growing, achieving its potential, and delivering returns to shareholders.

UBM Live currently has offices in 4 continents and all offices work closely together. We also interact regularly with the other UBM companies around the world and our clients are spread across the globe as well. Working for UBM Live therefore also requires a true global mind-set.

We invite you to have a look at our current vacancies so that you can determine if there are any opportunities that may suit your background, experience and ambition.

Our Values

UBM's values – We Explore, We Exceed, You Excel – underpin how we run the business, guiding how we make decisions at every level, and challenging every employee to improve their performance.

So what do we mean by We Explore, We Exceed, You Excel?

We explore as individuals, teams and as businesses because we:

pursue creativity, innovation and new opportunities
seek continuous improvement
take intelligent risks
learn from our successes and failures
listen to constructive feedback – tell me what you think, not what you think I want to hear.

We exceed as individuals, teams and as businesses because we:

anticipate, meet and exceed expectations
understand our customers' business and create long lasting relationships
value our employees' diverse talents and support them to exceed their own expectations
treat each other fairly and justly
recognise that sometimes we have to make difficult decisions, but commit to communicating as much as we can, as soon as we can.
Lastly and most importantly, we come to you.

Whether you're a valued customer, employee, shareholder, business partner or member of the wider community, how does all this exploring and exceeding benefit you?

You excel because:

success for our customers and our business partners is success for us
enabling our employees to excel is central to our success
delivering shareholder value is crucial to us
being a good neighbour and a good business citizen is a key priority
we celebrate success – so work hard, work smart and have fun!

Our Culture

As Our Values tell you, we are a success driven and business focused organisation. We consistently aim to achieve more. But there is more to us than just that!

Diversity statement
UBM Live is an equal opportunity employer. Our goal is to recruit, motivate, and develop outstanding people from a range of backgrounds who work together to achieve common business objectives. Diversity expresses itself in many different ways – in age, gender, race, culture, sexual orientation, religion, belief, education, physical ability, personality, experiences and approaches to work. We aim to maximise everybody’s potential by harnessing these differences and creating a productive environment in which all are valued, where our talents are fully utilised and organisational goals are achieved.
Corporate social responsibility
We strongly believe in taking our social responsibility and therefore we are committed to:
- offering a healthy and safe working place, in our offices as well as on site of our events, not only for our own colleagues but also for all who work with or visit us. The wellbeing of our colleagues is key to our business success.
- cherishing Planet Earth and therefore we are committed to working and travelling as green as possible ourselves and we also encourage others to do so.
- help the local communities in the places where we operate.

And finally, we encourage and support all sorts of initiatives to help local charities/NGO’s in every thinkable way. For more details coming soon on our corporate social responsibility, health & safety and green policies please have a look at Responsible Business.

Our Offer

Working with UBM will offer you a career rather than a job. We value our people and we are dedicated to help them bring out the best in themselves.

We believe in fair and equal pay. Our approach does not only ensure that we basically use the same structures to reward employees across the company, but also that someone in a similar position elsewhere in the world receives a comparable reward package. Our remuneration policy includes base salary, variable pay (for jobs for which that is appropriate), benefits and recognition.

Furthermore, a much used maxim in our business is “positive culture, profitable growth”. A positive and encouraging environment delivers for both individuals and for the company as a whole. We therefore encourage you to not only work hard, but also play hard!

Growth Opportunities

Your talent and commitment determine what your career path with UBM will look like. We stimulate our colleagues to develop themselves constantly. As a result, a lot of the positions in our business are currently occupied by colleagues that started in less senior positions when they first joined UBM. To help you progress your career, we will provide you with formal and/or informal training. Formal class room training programs especially developed for UBM and delivered by top tier trainers, are just an example of our many learning & development offers. Other examples include coaching on the job, our international exchange program and peer-to-peer learning sessions. We encourage our colleagues to develop in their roles as well, either by taking on more responsibilities or projects in their current roles or by making a horizontal or vertical move to another position in our company.
