Are you an experienced Event Manager looking to take ownership of large-scale, industry-leading events?
We're recruiting on behalf of a fast-growing media and events business that's renowned for delivering high-profile conferences, festivals and community events within a thriving global industry. This is an exciting opportunity to join a collaborative team where you'll have genuine ownership of flagship events from concept through to delivery.
The Role

- Lead the planning and delivery of large-scale live events and conferences.
- Manage venues, suppliers, production, AV, catering, security and logistics.
- Coordinate floorplans, event layouts and onsite operations.
- Manage budgets, supplier negotiations and event timelines.
- Work alongside conference producers to coordinate speakers and partners.
- Lead build-up, live event delivery and breakdown.
- Deliver smaller networking and community events throughout the year.

- Work with operations on registration, event technology and attendee experience.
- Ensure health & safety compliance across all events.
- Use project management tools to keep projects on track and stakeholders informed.
