💥 Event Project Manager 💥 £33,000–£38,000 💥 Leeds City Centre – Hybrid
ThePlaceToBe are recruiting for a genuinely unique opportunity for an Event Project Manager to join a leading events agency on a secondment with one of their key clients.
This is the best of both worlds – you'll spend 3 days a week embedded with the client, working as an extension of their in-house team, and 2 days a week with the agency, giving you the chance to enjoy both the fast-paced agency environment and the collaborative feel of working in-house.
If you've built your career in an agency and have always wondered what it's like to work client-side without leaving agency life behind, this could be the perfect next step.
About the role
You'll project manage a programme of exciting internal events from concept through to delivery, working closely with the client to create engaging experiences. From brainstorming creative ideas and sourcing venues to managing suppliers, budgets, and logistics, you'll oversee every stage of the event lifecycle before being on-site to ensure everything runs seamlessly.
