About the Role

As Creative Producer, you’ll be at the heart of the projects, supporting the creative development and execution of standout seasonal events and brand activations, from the very first spark of an idea through to on-site delivery. You’ll be the critical bridge between creative vision and operational excellence, making sure everything is on-brand, on-brief, on-time and on-budget.

• Propose new ideas and improvements, ensuring we learn and evolve with each event

• Ensure everything complies with brand, safety and operational guidelines

Qualifications & Experience

• Experience in live shows, interactive tech, AV and themed environments

• Proven ability to manage complex projects and multiple stakeholders

• Strong commercial awareness, including budget management and supplier negotiations

• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite and understanding of technical drawings

• Ability to travel internationally as needed

• A collaborative, can-do spirit with a knack for inspiring teams and partners

What We’re Looking For

• A visionary creative producer who can translate bold ideas into real-world experiences

• A confident project and budget manager with exceptional organisation skills

• A brilliant communicator, relationship-builder and team player

• Someone who’s passionate about creating joy, connecting people and making memories that last
