THE ROLE

Due to recent changes in the business there is now an opportunity for an experienced individual to come on board and help drive the business forward.

THE CANDIDATE

Candidates must be working at a senior level from an agency background and have a proven background in delivering a broad range of events.

In return, you will have the opportunity to work with fantastic clients and deliver some truly exciting events!
