Job description

Overview

I am working with one of the UK’s premier event production companies, delivering exceptional experiences through in-house lighting, sound, AV, and scenic workshop capabilities. Built on three core principles — creative design, an uncompromising commitment to quality, and the consistent delivery of a five-star experience for clients, partners, and team members alike.

A Senior Event Project Manager plays a pivotal role in driving both creative output and business success. This is a hands-on, client-facing position, focused on developing project proposals, guiding events from concept to delivery, and ensuring every experience is executed to the highest standard.

This is not a cold-calling sales role. All incoming leads come through warm enquiries, typically via the company’s general inbox or through existing relationships. The focus is on responding quickly and strategically to client interest, providing exceptional service from the first interaction through to final delivery.

Key Responsibilities:

• Respond to incoming client enquiries with confidence, creativity, and professionalism.
• Produce bespoke, well-articulated event proposals aligned with client goals and budgets.
• Lead client meetings, site visits, and project scoping sessions.
• Translate creative ideas into deliverable solutions by collaborating with internal teams.
• Secure client confirmations and transition projects smoothly to the operations team.
• Ensure all necessary details are shared for flawless project handovers.
• Attend events to maintain relationships, identify opportunities, and support development.
• Contribute actively to weekly sales meetings and team discussions.
• Support the refinement of proposals and business development materials.

Note: This role may evolve in line with business priorities.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Experienced in senior-level event project management, ideally within the live or creative events sector.
• Demonstrated ability to manage large-scale, complex events end-to-end.
• Strong commercial mindset with a focus on client satisfaction and retention.
• Confident in managing budgets, time-lines, and creative input under pressure.
• Skilled at building rapport with both new and existing clients.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication.
• Familiarity with AV, lighting, scenic, and event production infrastructure is a plus.
• Comfortable working across multiple projects in a high-velocity environment.

What This Role Offers

• Ownership of high-profile projects from pitch to execution.
• A sales environment focused purely on warm leads — no cold calling.
• Daily collaboration with a highly creative, respected in-house team.
• The tools, infrastructure, and support to consistently deliver five-star events.
• The opportunity to grow within one of the UK’s leading production companies.
