Job description

We’re Hiring: Senior Project Manager (Fixed-Term)

Make the extraordinary, everlasting — with us.

At Event Concept, 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

We’re looking for a Senior Project Manager to join our team on a 4-month fixed-term contract, running from September to December 2025. Reporting into our Head of Events, you’ll take the lead on managing and delivering event production projects across our portfolio of accredited London venues. You’ll oversee the process end-to-end — from brief through to delivery — working closely with our internal teams, trusted freelancers, and venue partners to ensure every event is delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest standard.

This is a client-facing role with a strong focus on logistics, creative delivery, and venue-specific knowledge, ideal for someone with a calm, confident approach and proven experience in live event delivery.

This role can be engaged either on payroll or via day rate, depending on your preference and working status.

You’ll Thrive Here If You…

• Have proven experience in event production and live event delivery
• Are confident in managing clients and building collaborative relationships that last
• Have previous experience working in Unique Venues of London — and understand their nuances
• Hold permanent right to work in the UK (please note we do not offer sponsorship or visa support)
• Are a people person — you know successful events start with strong relationships
• Have a real passion for delivering unforgettable experiences
• Care about sustainability and are ready to support our 2030 Pledge
• Are persuasive, confident, and bring clients with you on the creative journey
• Communicate clearly and professionally — both written and verbal
• Sweat the details — you understand the power of precision and are driven by quality
• Understand budgets, margins, and profitability — and how to balance creative ambition with commercial sense
• Know how to build, brief and manage freelance teams effectively
• Are comfortable preparing proposals and budgets for potential new clients

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.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Taking the lead on client requirements — from initial brief through to delivery
• Managing new enquiries from response to reconciliation, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and client satisfaction
• Tracking your project pipeline and ensuring smooth handovers and strong processes throughout
• Developing proposals and quotes — spotting opportunities to upsell our wider services (scenic, content, florals, AV)
• Acting as the primary point of contact for assigned clients — setting expectations and owning communications
• Coordinating schedules and planning with Event Operations, Logistics, and Crewing teams
• Producing accurate Vectorworks floorplans and managing file distribution
• Creating and distributing RAMS documents in line with project safety requirements
• Leading onsite event delivery — from setup to de-rig, managing logistics, crew, and suppliers
• Managing budgets and schedules throughout each project — proactively addressing risks and changes
• Raising POs, tracking costs, and ensuring reconciliation is complete in R2
• Collaborating with internal teams to align resources, timelines, and deliverables
• Shadowing senior team members in pitch meetings and contributing to RFPs and proposals
• Keeping sustainability and efficiency top of mind in line with our #DoMoreWithLess value and 2030 Pledge
• Wrapping projects with clear debriefs, sharing learnings, and closing out documentation
