THE COMPANY

This independent creative events agency is known for delivering original, soul‑led brand activations with a strong emphasis on storytelling, impact and positive culture. They’re now looking for a Senior Brand Activation Manager to join their operations team and help shape the delivery of bespoke experiential projects across the UK.

THE ROLE

An exciting opportunity has opened for a Senior Brand Activation Manager to oversee the end‑to‑end planning and delivery of experiential and brand activation projects. You’ll lead multiple activations at once, managing timelines, budgets, logistics and production while acting as the primary point of contact for clients. The role blends leadership, hands‑on problem‑solving and creative interpretation, ensuring every activation runs seamlessly from early planning through to onsite execution.

Key Responsibilities as Senior Brand Activation Manager include:

  • Managing several activations simultaneously, developing budgets, schedules and delivery plans.
  • Coordinating pre‑production, onsite delivery and post‑event reconciliation for all assigned projects.
  • Collaborating with creative, production and operations teams to ensure cohesive execution.

  • Producing accurate financial documentation, tracking costs and managing reconciliations.
  • Preparing proposals, gathering comprehensive briefs and supporting new business outreach.

THE CANDIDATE

This role suits an experienced, confident and hands‑on Senior Brand Activation Manager with a history of delivering large‑scale experiential projects. You’ll have experience working across the full lifecycle of brand activations, from initial brief through to on-site delivery, and you’ll understand the nuances of delivering activations in public spaces. The ideal Senior Brand Activation Manager is detail‑focused, upbeat, solutions‑driven and an excellent communicator who thrives under pressure and brings positive energy to every project. You’ll be confident making decisions onsite, managing client expectations, and leading project teams with clarity and authority.
