Job Title: Project Manager (Event Operations)

Client Location: London - hybrid

Starting: 30/06/2025

Hours: Full-time; 35-hour week

Duration: 12 months

Job Description:

Our client is seeking an experienced and highly organised Project Manager (Event Operations) to lead the planning, coordination, and execution of complex, high-impact events.

In this role, you will play a critical part in bringing events to life serving as both a strategic partner and the operational backbone that ensures every element comes together smoothly. From initial concept through post-event wrap-up, you will oversee timelines, manage partners, and drive flawless execution.

This is a dynamic opportunity for a proactive professional who thrives in fast-paced environments. You have a strong passion for logistics, clear communication, and a commitment to excellence in delivery. Your ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining attention to detail sets you apart.

What You'll Do

Project Planning & Timeline Management

• Build and maintain detailed project plans and delivery schedules using Workfront (or similar PM tools), ensuring clear task ownership, deadlines, and dependencies
• Develop and manage master timelines, Gantt charts, and workback schedules to support project visibility and tracking across partners
• Ensure resource allocation, capacity planning, and task prioritisation align with strategic goals

Cross-Functional Coordination

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (creative, content, marketing, design, and delivery) to gather requirements, set timelines, and align on deliverables
• Facilitate regular planning and status meetings, providing clear updates and maintaining strong communication channels across teams
• Manage collaborator expectations and foster alignment through proactive updates, and address issues of risks or delays promptly
• Identify potential project risks and blockers early, implementing mitigation strategies and escalating critical issues to leadership as needed
• Track interdependencies across workstreams to ensure timely execution and continuity of deliverables
• Maintain risk registers and contingency plans to safeguard delivery outcomes

Reporting & Process Optimisation

• Lead weekly project reporting, including timeline progress, risks, and resource planning insights
• Contribute to process improvement initiatives by documenting lessons learned, optimising workflows, and supporting the development of standard processes for project delivery

What You Need to Succeed

• Strong planning, scheduling, and multitasking skills to manage complex project timelines effectively
• At least 5 years of project management experience on large-scale projects
• Confident user of project management software Workfront
• Excellent communicator with natural organisational abilities to coordinate across teams
• Strong focus on processes, with the ability to adjust and thrive in demanding situations
• Experience in events, production, logistics, or agency environments is preferred but not mandatory
