Job description

About Us

Archetype is a creative studio and live events production agency shaping culture through immersive experiences, spatial storytelling and content-led world-building.

Born from live music and underground culture, we have evolved into a multidisciplinary collective working across brand activations, exhibitions, hospitality, festivals, installations and creative direction - always with concept, emotion and audience connection at the centre.

Alongside production, our in-house studio leads the creative development process from concept through execution, specialising in visual identity, storytelling, content creation, curation and cultural partnerships. This allows us to build brands and experiences with the same depth, coherence and artistic intent.

The Role

We are hiring a Senior Producer to take full ownership of our live experience and event work , from the first client conversation through to the final strike. You'll be the person clients call when they need a straight answer, and the person your project team looks to for direction. This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll shape the plan, hold the budget and profitability, manage the vendors, and stand on site making sure it all comes together.

• Be the client's steady point of contact on site - anticipating their needs, managing any last-minute changes calmly, and making sure they feel confident the event is in safe hands.
• Run a proper post-event debrief and carry the lessons into the next project

Team, budget & vendor management

• Support and guide junior producers, building a team that learns as it works
• Build, own and reconcile budgets, ensuring profitability and tracking financial performance as the project moves
