Job description

We’re Hiring: Senior Producer (Live Events)

Make the extraordinary, everlasting - with us.

At EC, we craft extraordinary experiences that leave a lasting impression – not just for our clients, but for our people too. We blend the big ideas of a creative agency with the meticulous execution of a production company, bringing bold, imaginative events to life.

We’re collaborative, down-to-earth, and serious about delivering quality – all while finding time for lightness and fun. If you’re someone who’s curious, adaptable and excited to do meaningful work with a team that’s got your back, we’d love to hear from you.

About the Role

Our Senior Producers are at the heart of making it happen, leading on the development, production and delivery of our largest agency-based projects, from conception to execution, managing budgets of £500k‑£1m+ and/or projects that are global or highly complex. Reporting into the Head of Projects, the Senior Producer works side‑by‑side with our Client Director and Account Director(s), acting as the key driver and main client contact on projects from scoping stage to reconciliation.

Who are you?

• You’re an experienced producer with significant experience within a similar role within event or production agencies, or in an extended freelance capacity in the same sector, with creative conferencing/B2B experience as your primary focus
• You’re comfortable with being the primary contact for day‑to‑day client communications on your projects as well as being the main project driver

• You have extensive creative production, live show and event management knowledge, with particular experience in creative production across B2B experiences
• You have a solid understanding of the full lifecycle and process of a project – from pitch and creative concept through to on‑site delivery – with the ability to manage all of the elements inbetween
• You’re a passionate project manager and a strong communicator, both in person and in written content, with excellent attention to detail
• You don’t get phased under pressure, you’re the consummate professional. Even when something isn’t going quite accordingly to plan, you remain calm and get the situation sorted
• You’re not afraid to push boundaries but also understand there will always need to be a natural balance between creative and delivery
• You’re comfortable with clients. You are experienced in speaking with them and analysing a brief to ensure that what we produce for them meets, or better still exceeds, their requirements
• You’re comfortable juggling multiple projects at once and can effectively manage your time while ensuring your team and communicated with and understand your workload
• You’re happy to share ideas for new initiatives and ways of working and equally happy to hear other people’s ideas
• You’re commercially astute. You push boundaries, whilst keeping the project budget in mind and can weigh up the best solutions to maximise impact for our clients
• You have a strong black book of suppliers, freelancers and fixers and are confident in managing relationships with them including project briefing, negotiating budgets, and driving timelines
• You care about the planet and are interested in finding more sustainable ways of doing things. You’re committed to our 2030 Pledge

You don’t have to tick every box – we care just as much about curiosity, adaptability and a growth mindset as we do experience on paper.
