About you:
• 2–3 years’ experience in AV, live events, or event production is essential
• Previous project management experience is preferred but not essential
• Strong technical understanding of live event delivery
• Confident communicator with a professional, client-facing approach
• Organised, commercially aware, and comfortable juggling multiple projects
• Flexible and realistic about the demands of live events, including unsociable hours, weekend work, and international travel
Package & rewards:
• £35,000 base salary plus a significant performance-related bonus, typically 20–30% (OTE c. £45,000)
• Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) bonus scheme (tax benefits, following qualifying service)
• Generous holiday allowance: 22 days + bank holidays + Christmas shutdown, rising to 30 days with service
• Charity matched giving and paid volunteering days
• Regular company social events
About the company:
• Global live events and digital production agency
• Offices in the East of England and on the US East Coast
• Approximately 80% of events delivered internationally, offering extensive overseas travel
• Exceptional staff retention, with an average UK team tenure of 12 years
This role will suit someone looking for a long-term career in live event project management, within a stable, respected, and internationally active production agency.
