The Company

An independent creative experience agency with global reach, ISO 20121 and ISO 14001 accredited, delivering brand experiences across technology and FMCG sectors. Specialists in strategy, creative, production, digital and marketing sit under one roof, collaborating on every brief. A strong Creative Event Project Manager finds real scope here: the agency has built a reputation for innovation and sustainability, and people who join tend to stay.

The Role

The Creative Event Project Manager takes full ownership of projects from signed brief through to delivery, managing budgets, timelines, suppliers and client relationships independently or at the head of a small production team.

- Interpret client briefs and translate them into clear production plans

- Build and manage budgets, maintaining financial tracking throughout

- Create detailed timelines, schedules and critical-path documents

The Candidate

The right Creative Event Project Manager will have a solid agency-side background in event or experience production, with a track record of taking briefs from planning through to live delivery, managing budgets, building critical paths and keeping both clients and suppliers aligned under pressure.

Candidates coming from a Producer, Project Manager, Senior Project Manager or Account Manager background are all worth applying. Adjacent experience in conferences, exhibitions, festivals or theatre production is equally relevant. What matters most is the ability to own a project independently and stay calm when things move fast. If that description fits you, this Creative Event Project Manager opportunity is a strong next move.

Project ownership across a genuinely varied portfolio, a team that backs good ideas, 33 days leave and a bonus scheme. This Creative Event Project Manager role has plenty going for it. Interviews are already being arranged, so get your application across now.
