Testimonial from a past employee who held this position:
“Working for the Ikey Tigers was a lot of fun, but also helped kick start my career. I got a job with Unilever straight out of university – and in my interview it was all the experiences with dealing with different teams of people, planning promotions to grow the fan base, social media strategy and project managing game days and social rugby with Ikeys that proved I was ready for the role and deliver from day 1”
Andrzej Ogonowski (Ikey Tigers marketing Intern ‘12)
