• Significant travel across European and global markets, with genuine variety across event formats and audiences

The Company

This is a full-service brand engagement and creative experiences agency that has been delivering events across the UK and internationally since 2004. With in-house operations, sales, creative and finance teams all under one roof, collaboration is genuine rather than aspirational. The business is expanding quickly across multiple sectors, which means the people joining now are building their careers on real momentum.

The Role

• Manage venues, suppliers, logistics and on-site delivery across international locations

What matters most is a confident, proactive approach and the ability to represent an agency with credibility at the most senior level.

In return, you get genuine ownership of a standout client programme, real exposure to executive events across European and global markets, and the backing of an ambitious agency with serious momentum.
