We are partnering with an ambitious, high-growth experiential and corporate events agency based on the South Coast. Known for delivering impactful global conferences, high-end incentive travel, and immersive corporate celebrations, they are looking for a Senior Project Manager to own the end-to-end delivery of high-stakes programmes.
Reporting directly to the Managing Director, you will play a central role in driving execution, managing key client relationships, and scaling project workflows.

- Supplier & Stakeholder Alignment: Direct venues, technical partners, and internal creative teams to meet every milestone seamlessly.
- Operational Innovation: Identify process or tech improvements to streamline agency planning cycles without compromising quality.
