Have you got what it takes to be our first-ever CEO (Chief Excitement Officer)

To celebrate the launch of our brand-new Oxygen at MediaCity Activeplay park, which is opening on February 17th, we’re on the hunt for a fun-loving, confident and cheeky kid aged 6-12 years old who wants to bag themselves the best job in Manchester!
That’s right we’re recruiting for a brand-new mini-CEO! Oxygen’s actual CEO Stephen Wilson can hang onto his Oxygen socks as this CEO role is a little different (and much cooler but shhh don’t tell Steve) it’s for our very first Chief Excitement Officer!
Our new CEO needs to be ready and raring to go as we need them to help oversee the excitement levels of the new opening and ensure that we maximise BIG-TIME fun throughout the brand-new park! Sounds like FUN? Read on….
Here’s the lowdown on the type of things you’ll be doing (besides having the BEST JOB EVER obvs):
● Auditing the bounce-ability of 24 epic trampolines
● Testing out the ‘fun factor’ of the interactive Strike Arena
● Inspecting the cloud like cushioning of the mega-airbag
● Assessing the aerial Sky Rider’s extreme sky-high feeling and the balance-ability of the high ropes course*
● Delivering an excitement briefing to Oxygen’s Hero Crew to prepare for the BIG opening
● Evaluating the efficacy of Oxygen’s awesome signature Excite Tunnel
● Testing the tastiness of the cafe’s menu (including slushies!)
● Taking to the streets with our Hero Crew to find out what the people of Manchester REALLY know about having BIG-TIME fun!
If you’re outgoing, endlessly creative, and 100% committed to the pursuit of FUN, then this is the perfect job for you!
Your first official mission? Tag-teaming the park evaluation with our other CEO (that’s Chief Executive Officer Stephen Wilson, BTW). Together, you’ll make sure Oxygen at MediaCity is ready for jumpers to dive into their next big adventure.
Following the park evaluation, the new mini-CEO will take to the streets with Oxygen’s Hero Crew to quiz the people of Manchester and find out how much they really know about BIG-TIME fun!
Finally your last mission, should you bag yourself the BIG job, will be to cut the ribbon at Oxygen at MediaCity’s VIP launch party to officially open the park- Wowzers!
