Job description

The Hook: Beyond Logistics. Beyond the Basics. Architect the Employee Experience.

Are you a seasoned Agency Director from the world of Live Events or Experiential Marketing who is tired of "moving the needle" and ready to actually reshape it?

We are seeking a strategic heavyweight to lead a high-impact portfolio of Business-to-Employee (B2E), Internal Communications, and Global Incentive programs. This isn't just about event delivery; it’s about Employee Value Proposition (EVP) and architecting culture for the world’s most ambitious brands at the Board level.

Now offering a refreshed hybrid model:

We are looking for the best talent, not the closest commute. This role requires only 1-2 days per week in our Central London hub.

What’s Different About This Role?

In the world of Internal Engagement, the stakes are human. You aren't just selling a product; you are mobilizing a workforce. You will transition from a service provider to a Strategic Consultant, sitting with C-Suite stakeholders to translate complex corporate objectives and Change Management into world-class Live Experiences.

Key Expertise You’ll Bring:

• Agency DNA: 7+ years of leadership within a Corporate Event Agency, Internal Comms firm, or Incentive House.
• The Engagement Lens: You understand Employee Engagement metrics and how to use events as a catalyst for cultural transformation.
• C‑Suite Confidence: You are a natural at Board-level consulting, capable of steering Content Architecture and narratives for global leadership teams.
• Financial Mastery: Sophisticated P&L accountability and budget management for high-margin, multi-million-pound global accounts.
• Team Mentorship: A track record of nurturing high-performance teams in a fast-paced Agency environment.

What You’ll Do:

• Architect the Vision: Lead the entire Project Lifecycle—from high-stakes strategic pitches to flawless Global Event Execution.
• Drive Commercial Growth: Identify revenue opportunities within your portfolio while ensuring maximum ROI on cultural outcomes.
• Mastermind Internal Comms: Work closely with clients to ensure every touchpoint—from digital to live—strengthens their Employer Brand.
• Lead the Charge: Direct-line management of a specialist team, ensuring excellence across Global Incentives, Conferences, and Leadership Summits.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Modern Flexibility: A genuine Hybrid Model (1-2 days in London) designed for high-performing Directors who value autonomy.
• Elite Compensation: A salary that reflects your C-Suite strategic and financial expertise.
• Global Footprint: Travel and execute world-class projects on a worldwide stage.
• People-First Culture: We invest in our leaders with private healthcare, high-end social events, and a "no-hierarchy" mindset.

The Ideal Fit:

You are a "Director of Change." You find the puzzle of corporate culture fascinating and know how to use Live Events as a catalyst for transformation. You are self-motivated, hold incredibly high standards, and stay calm when the stakes are highest.
