PROJECT MANAGER / SENIOR PROJECT MANAGER (Events)

FULL TIME, PERMANENT ROLE

Are you an experienced Project Manager looking for your next challenge? This is a unique opportunity for an events professional who is passionate about delivering exceptional live events.

MSL Global is looking for a dynamic individual to lead and manage the operational delivery of high-profile, multi-site activations across the UK on behalf of a prestigious automotive client.

This is an exciting opportunity to work across a sports sponsorship programme, delivering live events at major sporting venues. You’ll manage substantial budgets and oversee complex logistics to create impactful, high-quality experiences for audiences nationwide.

This role is ideal for an experienced professional with a background in live, experiential, roadshow, or multi-activation events—someone who thrives in fast-paced, dynamic environments.

This is a hands-on role for experienced Project Managers with live, on-site event experience – not suited to those from digital or social media backgrounds.

Key Responsibilities:

• Project manage end-to-end delivery of roadshow-style activations at sporting venues nationwide, from pitch and proposal to post-event analysis.
• Manage substantial event budgets, ensuring cost-effective delivery without compromising on quality.
• Coordinate with internal teams, clients, and venues to ensure smooth, high-quality execution.
• Oversee on-site build, manage teams, lead client walk-throughs, and live event delivery.
• Respond to evolving requirements and resolve on-site challenges quickly and effectively.
• Build strong, trusted relationships with clients through clear communication and reliable delivery.
• Work closely with key sports stakeholders to ensure seamless operations at all UK locations.
• Support asset management and coordinate vehicles to meet activation needs across all venues.

About you:

• Proven project management experience in end-to-end (from pitch presentations to planning, delivery, final reconciliation and reporting) project management.
• Proven experience in managing large-scale live or experiential events, preferably with an agency background.
• Proven experience managing large and complex budgets, with budget creation, ensuring set budgets are agreed and delivered against, ROI and post event analysis and reporting.
• Demonstrated ability to manage complex logistics.
• Exceptional organisational and problem-solving skills.
• Positive, proactive, and adaptable approach to changing circumstances.
• Willingness to travel to sporting events across the UK, particularly between May and September, including some evenings and weekends.
• Full UK driving licence essential.
• Experience of automotive events, sports based experiential marketing, roadshows, multi-activation campaigns, resource, asset or vehicle management would be an advantage.

Why Join MSL Global?

This is a unique opportunity to lead impactful events that engage audiences nationwide. You'll work with a supportive team in a growing agency, delivering memorable experiences for a prestigious automotive brand.
