We're Hiring - Live Venue Security Manager
Be part of the management team behind some of the UK's leading live events.
Location: Grays, Essex (Office Based with Nationwide Travel Required)
Salary: £35,000 – £42,000 per annum (Dependent on Experience)
Are you ready to lead from the front?
Manchett Security is continuing to grow, and we're looking for an experienced Live Venue Security Manager to join our expanding management team based at our offices in Grays, Essex.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Security Manager who is passionate about delivering safe, well-managed live events whilst building long-lasting relationships with clients across the UK. From concerts, festivals and sporting events through to racecourses, outdoor events, and live entertainment venues, you'll play a key role in planning, managing, and delivering security operations to the Highest Possible Standards.
This is not a typical office-based role. Whilst the role is based in our Grays, Essex office, you will be expected to travel nationwide to attend client meetings, planning meetings, venue visits, and live deployments.
Key Responsibilities:
- Manage the operational planning and delivery of live venue and event security operations throughout the UK.
- Attend client meetings, planning meetings, site visits, and operational briefings.
- Produce staffing plans, deployment schedules, risk assessments, and operational documentation.
- Lead, motivate, and manage Security Officers, Supervisors, Response Teams, and Event Management Teams.
- Ensure all operations are delivered safely, professionally, and in line with client expectations.
- Build and maintain excellent relationships with clients, venue management, promoters, and stakeholders.
- Manage incidents professionally whilst maintaining clear communication with all parties.
- Support recruitment, training, and ongoing development of frontline staff.
- Work closely with the Managing Director to continue developing and growing the Live Events Division.
- Ensure compliance with all relevant legislation, licensing requirements, and industry best practice.
