Job description

Project Manager | Experiential Brand Agency

Woking hybrid pattern, e.g. minimum 2 days in the office

Salary range- £40-45,000

Our client is an award-winning brand experience agency that has earned the trust of global brands for more than two decades. They imagine, design, build and deliver everything from physical environments and live events to digital spaces and content. Their way of working was honed in one of the highest-pressure environments in global sport, so discipline, creativity and detail run through everything they do. They now need a sharp, organised Project Manager to be the operational heart of a key global sponsorship account.

What You'll Be Doing

You’ll be the day-to-day engine behind a programme of live events and hospitality activations for global sponsorship, taking projects from initial brief through planning, production, logistics, onsite delivery and reporting. Reporting to the Project Director and working closely with Senior Account Managers, you'll own the project plans, deadlines, approvals and status reports, keep budgets and schedules up to date, and lead day-to-day client communication. You'll also be juggling suppliers, venues, contractors and internal teams, plus accreditation, ticketing and guest lists.

This isn’t a desk job. You'll travel internationally and own onsite delivery, from build through live operations to breakdown, sometimes with extended periods away from home. If you love the buzz of a live event and you've cut your teeth in live events, exhibitions or sports hospitality, you'll feel right at home.

What You'll Bring

• Project management experience in live events, exhibitions, sponsorship or hospitality, ideally on international events
• Hands-on onsite experience, including build, live and breakdown
• Confident handling of suppliers, venues, contractors and external delivery partners
• Strong Excel/Sheets and PowerPoint/Slides skills, and real attention to detail with schedules, budgets, ticketing and guest lists
• A calm, professional client-facing manner and the organisation to run multiple projects at once
• A proactive, can-do mindset and a genuine willingness to travel and live out of a suitcase when the show demands it

What's in it for you

• Salary- £40-45,000
• Hybrid working from Woking
• International travel delivering live events for a global sponsorship programme
• A key account working with world-famous brands
• A creative, collaborative agency that backs its people and lives by "Think Big and Sweat the Details"
