This is an opportunity to lead the delivery of major events and experiential activations across Westfield London and Westfield Stratford City, helping shape memorable experiences that drive footfall, engagement, and commercial impact.
You'll work closely with our Head of Marketing, Centre Marketing Managers, and external partners to bring ambitious event concepts to life.

This role combines technical event delivery expertise with creativity, commercial awareness, and a passion for creating memorable customer experiences.

- Leading the end-to-end delivery of major events and activations across Westfield London and Westfield Stratford City
- Supporting the development of creative event briefs alongside the Head of Marketing and Centre Marketing teams
- Managing project plans, timelines, budgets, and supplier relationships to ensure successful event delivery

- Managing health & safety, risk assessments, licenses, and compliance requirements
- Leading external agencies, freelance resources, and specialist suppliers
- Ensuring an exceptional customer experience across every activation
- Monitoring trends across retail, fashion, culture, and experiential marketing to bring fresh ideas and inspiration to future plans
