Our new Event and Crowd Security Management Service has been created to be a partner, not a provider. We concentrate on strategy, not just support. We’re backed by investment and experience and we’re focused on the future, with an established leadership structure that has changed the way event security is managed. A proven approach that delivers better results for our partners and greater safety for their customers.
Due to continued expansion at the prestigious MCFC Eastlands Campus, G4S Events is pleased to announce that we are looking to recruit an Events Manager to join the team. This newly established role will primarily focus on the strategic opening and operational launch, with day to day responsibility of the upcoming Entertainment District, which includes a premier, onsite hotel.
This is a key customer account in Manchester, and at times, it may be necessary to support the wider team across the Campus, on other customer accounts within the North of England and beyond, as and when business needs demand. You will play a key role in helping us deliver our ambition to be the first choice for security, stewarding and crowd management, all whilst setting new standards within the events industry.
As part of a nationwide team of managers, your role will be to manage the relationships with our customers and deliver exceptional security solutions for the benefit and safety of every customer. With a track record of event security and the ability to build relationships with our partners and the authorities that support every event, you’ll be responsible for communication, data analysis and regular updates to your event customers.
This role will bring a higher level of support for the events we help our customers host. In return, your career ambitions will be supported by the global leader in security and through the influence and inspiration of our Senior Leadership Team of G4S Events. You will report directly into the Eastlands Campus Contract Manager, working at the direction of the MCFC Events Operations Manager.
