Job description
Senior Project Manager | Live Events & Exhibitions
Brand Experience Agency
Woking (hybrid, minimum 2 days in the office)
£50,000 to £65,000
Events / Exhibitions / Live Events / Experiential / Brand Activation
Our client is a creative brand experience agency delivering experiential activations, live events and exhibitions for some of the world's best-known brands. One of their flagship global accounts is growing fast, and the client has asked directly for senior oversight of a new stream of work running alongside the core global team. That's where you come in: a confident, organised senior project lead who can take a brief and run with it all the way to the post-show report.
What You'll Be Doing
You'll own around eight activations a year, usually two or three at a time, mostly in the half a million pound range. These are live events and brand experiences at major sporting and motorsport moments, from Silverstone and Goodwood here in the UK to trips to places like Vietnam, Singapore and Abu Dhabi (around four international trips a year). You'll be the client's go-to contact day to day, managing stakeholders, setting expectations and keeping everyone moving in the same direction.
Behind you sits a strong five-person core team plus specialist production, creative and account colleagues, with a junior team member reporting into you. You won't be engineering anything, but you'll read a technical drawing, understand how production works, and translate it clearly for the client. You'll run briefs, critical paths, scopes of work and resource plans, pulling in freelancers where needed, and take the delivery pressure off the account director so they can focus on growing the business.
