Event Project Director - Creative Live Events Agency

Truely an agency with a personality all it's own - a fairly new kid on the block – but boy have they already packed a punch in the live events market! Now back to their fast growth trajectory, as their clients love to work with them – and you will too! The team work hard together and their inspirational MD ensures they play hard together too, and is always ensuring they get proper treat and relax time as work should also be fun!  A happy team is a brilliant team - and their clients love them for it!

Agency
This really lovely agency (fairly small and boutique) have a rather special culture which their clients love, and emanates from their open, natural style and collaborative and creative approach. And their excellent track record of delivering great live event solutions. They have become particularly successful with cloud-based corporates (so they have a fantastic client list) who love them for their ability to craft and deliver impactful and successful events for them, events that deliver the reach they need in the real world – and for the approachable and reliable way they work to ensure the delivery of brilliantly crafted and executed events.  Here you’ll work on events for the hottest tech/cloud clients around, and with a really fab team, burgeoning with energy, enthusiasm and talent!

You’ll also take a key role in managing, mentoring and developing the inhouse team. For your projects you’ll be the Director from start to finish, run the budget (Procim), critical path and direct all aspects of delivery, and be the client contact, confidant and collaborator thoughout.

You:
We’re looking for someone bright, talented, experienced and forward thinking – on an upward trajectory just like the agency.  You’ll of course need to have a background in live events, across a broad creative production focussed range of formats - and for this senior level role, will have a proven track record of delivering large multi-faceted events, for major corporate clients.
