Disrupt Talent is recruiting on behalf of a well established, award winning provider of project managed AV rental and staging services, delivering over 700 live events and 500 dry hires each year across the UK and internationally. Recently recognised as a Sunday Times Best Place to Work, the business has built a genuine reputation for exceptional client relationships and quality delivery.
This role sits within a well established exhibitions division that has recently picked up an industry award, and offers real scope to grow a client portfolio while getting hands on with technical delivery.
The opportunity
This role blends client account management with hands on project and technical delivery, initially on smaller projects with support available as required. You'll be the primary point of contact for a small portfolio of stand builder and exhibition organiser clients, while also assisting with technical and production planning and on site delivery where needed. You'll work closely with internal teams and suppliers to ensure projects are delivered efficiently, safely and to a high standard, and work alongside the Exhibitions Director in building out the wider client portfolio.
