💥 £33,000–£38,000 💥 Leeds City Centre – Hybrid
ThePlaceToBe are partnering with a leading events agency who are looking to recruit an Event Project Manager. Working closely with one of their key global clients, you'll deliver exciting internal events from concept through to completion while building strong, long-term client relationships.
About the role...
This is a genuinely unique opportunity that's a little different from the norm. You'll spend three days a week embedded with the client, working as an extension of their in-house team, and two days a week with the agency, giving you the best of both worlds. If you've built your career agency-side and have always wondered what it's like to work client-side without leaving agency life behind, this could be the perfect next step.
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.
