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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Significant experience delivering complex live events
- Strong operational and project management expertise
- Experience managing multi-million-pound budgets
- Confidence leading suppliers, venues and stakeholders
- A calm, practical approach under pressure
- Strong leadership skills and the ability to make decisions on-site
- Experience within sport, live events, broadcast, experiential, hospitality or large-scale temporary venues
This isn't a role for someone who wants to manage from behind a laptop. We're looking for a senior event professional who enjoys being on-site, solving problems in real time, leading teams and ensuring every detail is delivered to the highest standard.
