Senior Project Manager

We're Hiring: Senior Project Manager

Make the extraordinary, everlasting - with us.

At Event Concept, we craft extraordinary experiences that leave a lasting impression - not just for our clients, but for our people too. We blend the big ideas of a creative agency with the meticulous execution of a production company, bringing bold, imaginative events to life.

We're collaborative, down-to-earth, and serious about delivering quality - all while finding time for lightness and fun. If you're someone who's curious, adaptable, and excited to do meaningful work with a team that's got your back, we'd love to hear from you.

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior Project Manager to join our team. In this role, you'll take the lead on managing and delivering event production projects across our portfolio of accredited London venues. You'll oversee the process end-to-end - from brief through to delivery - working closely with our internal teams, trusted freelancers, and venue partners to ensure every event is delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest standard.

This is a client-facing role with a strong focus on logistics, creative delivery, and venue-specific knowledge, ideal for someone with a calm, confident approach and proven experience in live event delivery.

You'll Thrive Here If You...

• Have proven experience in event production and live event delivery
• Are confident in managing clients and building collaborative relationships that last
• Have previous experience working in Unique Venues of London - and understand their nuances
• Hold permanent right to work in the UK (please note we do not offer sponsorship or visa support)
• Are a people person - you know successful events start with strong relationships
• Have a real passion for delivering unforgettable experiences
• Care about sustainability and are ready to support our 2030 Pledge
• Are persuasive, confident, and bring clients with you on the creative journey
• Communicate clearly and professionally - both written and verbal
• Sweat the details - you understand the power of precision and are driven by quality
• Understand budgets, margins, and profitability - and how to balance creative ambition with commercial sense
• Know how to build, brief, and manage freelance teams effectively
• Are comfortable preparing proposals and budgets for potential new clients

You don't have to tick every box - we care just as much about curiosity, adaptability, and a growth mindset as we do experience on paper.
