Who Broadwick are:
Broadwick is a multifaceted international company with headquarters in London who create, develop, own and operate a diverse portfolio of venues, spaces, events and experiences. Collectively we strive to push boundaries and disrupt the cultural landscape by combining big thinking, bold ideas and commercial intelligence to produce spaces and experiences for discerning audiences in inspiring locations.
Who Project Farm are:
Project Farm is about creating solutions through project management. With leadership from a strong female focused and healthy environment. We work for brands, buildings, new ventures and public-facing events to create seamless, safe, impressive and impactful experiences. The main areas of our business are:
- Retail, placemaking and public realm
- Large-scale Project Management and end-to-end event production
- Facilities Management and Venue Operations Management
With years of experience, we focus on the journey as much as the outcome, combining collective thinking, trusted collaborators and creative expertise to deliver seamless logistics, impactful content and strategic insight from concept through to completion.
We are based at Drumsheds, which means we work alongside Broadwick’s music team. We aren’t directly connected, but they are partners, and on occasion, we are involved in the music shows at the venue, but it’s not our core business.
About the role:
As a Junior Event Project Manager, you will be mainly working closely with the Senior Project Manager, who is responsible for all of Project Farm’s retail, placemaking, public realm and brand activation experiences. You will be working with a small selection of our property clients across our retail and public realm division. You will be primarily responsible for the seamless end-to-end delivery of our public realm activations. You will work closely with the Account Lead of Retail and Directors of the business to successfully manage and deliver events.
What we’re looking for:
We’re looking for a friendly, organised people person to join the team and support our ongoing programme of retail events, as well as helping out with corporate bookings at Drumsheds. This role is all about understanding how events run on the ground - thinking about customer journeys, keeping things flowing smoothly, and making sure the right number of staff are in place. You’ll work closely with our staffing suppliers, building strong relationships with key event suppliers and site teams - making sure each event is properly resourced and runs without a hitch. It’s a great opportunity for someone passionate about events and keen to gain hands-on experience across a variety of smaller-scale activations.
