Head of Logistics — Major Sporting Events, Catering & Hospitality
Salary: £65K-£70K
Location: Oxfordshire/Hybrid
From F1 paddocks to premium hospitality suites, from centre court to the finish line, you'll be the person who makes it all happen.
Some jobs sit behind a desk. This one sits at the heart of the action, orchestrating the power, water, transport, kit and people that turn empty spaces into world-class live event experiences, time after time, under pressure that would make most people flinch.
We're working exclusively with a leading name in premium live events and hospitality to find an experienced, commercially sharp Head of Logistics to take ownership of logistics operations across a portfolio of high-profile live events, premium hospitality experiences and international sporting projects. If you thrive on complexity, love the buzz of a live build, and know exactly what it takes to deliver flawlessly when the stakes, and the standards, are sky-high, we want to talk to you.
