THE COMPANY

This business is a major independent international communications and events agency group with offices across Europe, North America and the Middle East. Operating as a fully integrated agency encompassing creative, digital, production, logistics and film, they deliver end-to-end event and brand communication solutions for government, semi-government and major corporate entities.

THE ROLE

This is a senior leadership position within the project management team, responsible for end-to-end ownership of complex live events, tenders and client relationships. The Senior Event Project Manager will lead multidisciplinary teams, manage significant budgets and act as the central point of coordination across creative, production and operational workstreams.

-          Managing internal and external stakeholders across multiple departments

-          Building and controlling large-scale budgets with accurate forecasting

-          Selecting and negotiating with suppliers including venues, production partners and technical vendors

-          Overseeing onsite delivery including build, live days and dismantle
