Operating as an agile, independent team, they bypass corporate red tape to focus on what actually counts: creative freedom, flawless production, and a strong collaborative culture. They are seeking an Event Project Manager who thrives in a fast-paced agency setup—someone who wants end-to-end project ownership, high visibility with clients, and a role where no two days look the same.

Key Responsibilities
- End-to-End Delivery: Take full control of the event lifecycle, managing briefs from initial pitch and scope right through to show day, post-event debriefs, and final account sign-offs.

- Budget & Commercial Control: Build and maintain detailed project timelines, supplier costings, and event budgets (typically up to £100k+) with sharp commercial discipline.
- On-Site Production Leadership: Lead on the show floor—directing AV technicians, staging teams, crews, venues, and suppliers to guarantee flawless execution.
- Quality & Brand Standards: Champion the agency’s benchmark for polish and precision across every single touchpoint.
What We’re Looking For
- 2–3 years of live events experience within a small-to-mid-sized Event, Production, or Experiential agency.
- Proven track record running live events for 250+ delegates while maintaining strict budget control.
- Tech/Production literacy—comfortable collaborating with AV technicians, set builders, digital production teams, and venue directors.
- Solutions-focused mindset: cool under pressure, highly organized, and used to wearing multiple hats in an agile agency environment.
- Midlands-based with ability to work 2 days/week in the Leicester studio, alongside travel for live show days.
The Perks
- Flexible Hybrid Model: 2 collaborative studio days in Leicester; work remotely for the rest of the week.
- True Autonomy: A flat, supportive structure where your ideas shape client campaigns and internal agency growth.
- High-Variety Portfolio: Direct exposure to everything from corporate summits to creative brand activations.
