The Role
You’ll take end-to-end ownership of productions, rather than simply coordinating individual elements. This includes technical planning, budgets, schedules, suppliers, crews, logistics, client communication, and onsite delivery.
Projects will vary considerably, from major conferences and large-scale brand productions through to smaller, high-profile events requiring exceptional attention to detail and quality of delivery. You’ll manage several projects and stakeholders simultaneously, maintaining control as priorities and requirements change. When challenges arise close to delivery, you’ll be expected to remain calm, make decisions, and keep both the client and delivery teams moving forward.
You will also:
- Own production budgets, control costs, and protect project margins
- Build strong relationships with blue-chip corporate clients
- Lead technical and production teams throughout project delivery
- Manage external suppliers, equipment, and production resources
- Oversee productions from planning and load-in through show delivery and load-out
- Manage onsite changes to schedules, technical requirements, and resources
- Ensure appropriate RAMS and health & safety documentation is in place
- Maintain high production and technical standards throughout

- Excellent client and stakeholder communication skills
- Strong commercial awareness and experience managing budgets and margins

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
This role requires broader production experience than a purely venue-based AV support or broadcast/TV background. We need someone who has personally owned productions, budgets, and client relationships and can demonstrate how they have successfully handled complex projects when plans have changed.
Why Join?
This is an opportunity to step into a role offering greater autonomy, larger and more complex productions, and genuine ownership of key client relationships. You’ll also be joining the production function at an important stage of its development, providing the opportunity to influence how projects are delivered and contribute to its continued growth across EMEA and internationally.
