Complex events need more than great organisation. They need ownership.
We’re looking for an experienced Senior Event Manager / Senior Project Manager / Project Lead who can take an event brief and turn it into an exceptional experience — from first idea to final delivery.
Join an ambitious, people-focused agency/consultancy working with major organisations across live events, conferences, roadshows, experiential events, award ceremonies and corporate experiences.
Working within a small, collaborative team of Consultants, Project Managers, Producers, Content Specialists and Creatives, this role brings together strategy, creativity, production and flawless delivery.
It’s a position for someone who can confidently sit between client, creative, production and delivery — bringing structure, energy and calm to complex projects.
What you’ll own
- Take full ownership of event projects and integrated event programmes from initial brief through to live delivery.
- Deliver a range of B2B and B2E events, including conferences, roadshows, experiential events, award ceremonies and corporate events.
- Lead the full event lifecycle — briefing, planning, production, logistics, supplier management, onsite delivery and post-event.
- Manage multiple stakeholders, suppliers, venues and workstreams across mid-to-large-scale and complex events.
- Deliver live, virtual and hybrid events, with a strong understanding of event production and logistics.
- Build trusted relationships with senior clients, stakeholders, suppliers and partners, generating repeat business and identifying new opportunities.
- Partner with creative and production specialists to develop and deliver high-quality, strategic and creative event experiences.
- Own budgets, timelines and commercial delivery, ensuring projects are delivered on time, on budget and to brief.
- Lead pitches, proposals and client presentations.
- Manage risk, health & safety and operational requirements, leaving nothing to chance.
- Mentor and support junior Event Managers and Project Managers, sharing knowledge and best practice.
- Stay ahead of event industry trends, technology and emerging experiences.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
- Highly organised, commercially aware and completely comfortable taking ownership of complex events.
- Great event delivery is about much more than a production schedule. The ability to shape a brief, challenge assumptions, spot risk, solve problems and keep everyone moving when the pressure is on is essential.
- A strong network of event suppliers, production partners and venues is important, alongside the confidence to negotiate, manage and get the best from them.
- Senior stakeholder and client management should come naturally, with strong commercial awareness and the ability to manage budgets, timelines and competing priorities.
- Calm under pressure, resilient, collaborative and solutions-focused — with an exceptional eye for detail.
