Freelance Production Manager

Bedfordshire - Event Agency

Are you a Freelance Production Manager with solid agency experience looking for your next exciting contract? We're working with a brilliant event agency renowned for their automotive projects - and they're on the lookout for extra freelance support!

T H E COMPANY

This well-established agency is known for delivering creative, high-impact events that leave a lasting impression. With an enviable client portfolio and a proven track record across the automotive sector, they offer an exciting and fast-paced environment. From ride & drives and press launches to exhibitions and incentives, no two projects are the same.

They're all about nurturing talent, building long-term relationships with clients, and pushing the boundaries of event experiences - making it a fantastic place for a Freelance Production Manager to make their mark.

THE ROLE

With continued business wins and a packed calendar ahead, they're now looking for a Freelance Production Manager to join them and take the lead on key projects. This role requires someone who can hit the ground running and deliver exceptional end-to-end project management.

Key responsibilities will include:

 

  • Planning, developing, and executing a variety of events across the year
  • Acting as a key point of contact for clients throughout the project
  • Handling all event logistics - including travel, accommodation, and schedules
  • Managing delegate communications and databases
  • Building strong relationships with suppliers and contractors
  • Collaborating with in-house design, production, and creative teams
  • Ensuring all necessary H&S documentation and risk assessments are completed
  • Managing budgets and handling post-event reconciliation

THE CANDIDATE

You'll need to be an experienced Freelance Production Manager with a track record of running events from concept to completion - ideally within an agency setting. Strong logistical skills are essential, and experience working with creative and production teams is highly beneficial. Familiarity with automotive events is a big plus, but not a deal-breaker.

If you thrive in high-energy environments and can confidently take ownership of complex projects, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

In return, you'll get to work alongside a passionate and supportive team, delivering outstanding events for global clients.
