Job description

Behind every great show, there’s a team that makes it happen.

But behind every successful production, there’s also something equally important: the right equipment, in the right place, at the right time.

And that’s where you come in.

At Creative Technology Middle East (CTME), we’re looking for an Asset Manager who can see the bigger picture, connect the dots and make sure our people have what they need to deliver exceptional live experiences.

This is not a traditional back-office stock management role.

You’ll sit at the heart of our Projects, Technical, Warehouse, Transport and Commercial teams, ensuring our asset management system reflects what’s actually happening across the business.

Your mission? Give our teams the confidence to know what’s available, what’s committed, what’s coming back and where potential risks sit before they become problems.

If you’re commercially minded, love bringing order to complexity and enjoy making things work better, this could be your next big opportunity.

WHY CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY – MIDDLE EAST?

Because we’re not in the business of doing ordinary.

We’re part of a global network of creative technology specialists delivering cutting-edge audio-visual solutions across the live events industry.

From major productions to technically complex projects, our success depends on talented people working together to make extraordinary things happen.

Your work will be visible.

The decisions you make will directly influence project readiness, equipment availability and successful delivery across our Live Events and Systems Integration businesses.

Global scale. Local impact.

Be part of a market-leading specialist AV business connected across the Middle East, USA, Europe and Asia, with the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on our regional operations.

Take ownership of the bigger picture.

You’ll play a central role in how we plan, allocate, track and optimise our equipment, ensuring our systems and operations work hand in hand.

Help us work smarter.

We’re not looking for someone to simply maintain existing processes. We want someone who will challenge how things are done, introduce practical improvements and help us build stronger, more efficient ways of working.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?

Real ownership. Take responsibility for asset planning, equipment availability, transfers, sub-rentals and the operational asset/subhire budget.

A voice in important decisions. Contribute to project planning, pre-sales costing, supplier discussions and commercial decisions that directly influence project profitability.

Variety and exposure. Work collaboratively with Projects, Technical, Warehouse, Transport and Commercial teams across a fast-moving live events environment.

The opportunity to make things better. Improve systems, develop practical operating procedures, strengthen controls and introduce reporting that supports smarter decision-making.

Work that makes a difference. Your contribution will go beyond maintaining accurate records. You’ll help teams deliver projects more efficiently, reduce unnecessary costs and make better use of the equipment we already have.

A business that keeps you thinking. No two weeks are exactly the same. You’ll be part of an industry where priorities change, challenges arise and solutions matter.

WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING?

You’ll take ownership of our asset management processes and help ensure we have reliable visibility and control of equipment across the business.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing asset availability, allocations, reservations, transfers and returns through EasyJob.
• Ensuring equipment records accurately reflect physical inventory and operational commitments.
• Working closely with Projects, Technical and Warehouse teams to anticipate equipment requirements and resolve potential shortages.
• Managing sub-rental requirements, supplier coordination and associated costs.
• Supporting pre-sales planning, project costing and commercially sound equipment decisions.
• Monitoring asset utilisation and identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce unnecessary expenditure.
• Identifying discrepancies, operational risks and process gaps before they affect project delivery.
• Developing and improving standard operating procedures, controls and reporting.
• Providing reliable asset information to support operational planning and management decisions.
• Building strong working relationships across departments to ensure accountability and consistency.
• You enjoy accurate data, but you’re not someone who hides behind a spreadsheet.
• You like knowing how everything fits together and understand that a small discrepancy in a system can have a much bigger impact on a live production.
• You’re commercially aware, highly organised and comfortable challenging information when something doesn’t look right.
• You can spot a potential issue, understand the consequences and bring the right people together to find a solution.
• You thrive in a fast-moving environment, remain calm when priorities change and take pride in delivering results.
• And most importantly, you enjoy leaving a process better than you found it.

WHAT WILL MAKE YOU STAND OUT?

• We’re looking for someone who brings a combination of operational knowledge, commercial awareness and a genuine desire to improve how things work.
• Ideally, you’ll have:
• At least 5 years’ relevant experience in asset management, inventory control, rental operations or a comparable environment.
• Strong experience with asset management or operational planning systems, ideally EasyJob.
• A good understanding of equipment availability, allocation, utilisation and inventory controls.
• Experience coordinating suppliers, managing sub‑rentals and monitoring operational costs.
• Strong analytical, planning and problem-solving skills.
• The confidence to work across departments, challenge discrepancies and influence decisions.
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative approach.
• The ability to manage competing priorities in a dynamic operational environment.
• Experience within the live events, AV or equipment rental industry would be particularly valuable.
• But qualifications and experience are only part of the picture.
• We want someone who takes ownership, brings solutions rather than problems and understands that getting the details right makes all the difference.

READY TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE BIG PICTURE?

The audience sees the show, we see the people, planning and precision that make it possible.

If you’re ready to bring your experience, ideas and ambition to Creative Technology Middle East, we’d love to hear from you.
