Job summary

Red Events & Distribution Limited is seeking an Event Manager to own how concerts happen on the ground across Italy. You will manage venues, logistics, schedules, contractors and inventory, coordinating with artists, administrators and venues to ensure flawless delivery.

The role requires 3–5 years in event operations, availability for evenings and weekends, and the ability to stay calm under pressure while building strong relationships with venue staff and performers.

Qualifications

• 3-5 years' experience in event production, venue operations, touring, hospitality or a comparable operational role.
• Availability to work evenings and weekends — that is when concerts happen.
• Genuine composure under pressure. Things go wrong on the day, and the job is to fix them without the audience noticing.
• Confidence dealing with venue managers, suppliers and performers face to face.
• Strong organisation: several events running in parallel, each with its own moving parts.
• English at B2 or above.

Responsibilities

• Venues. Travelling across Italy or your local city for site visits and inspections. Meeting venue management in person, establishing first contact and keeping the relationship warm long after the first concert.
• Logistics. Planning and coordinating everything that has to arrive in the right place at the right time — instruments, equipment, staging, transport, accommodation. Booking where it falls to you.
• Scheduling. Building and maintaining the schedule for administrators and performers across concurrent events, and keeping it accurate when things move.
• Contractors. Sourcing, briefing and coordinating suppliers — technical, staging, transport and everything in between. Including the urgent ones: a piano that needs tuning tonight, a supplier who cancels on the morning of the concert.
• Purchasing and inventory. Procurement of what events need, and keeping track of company equipment: what we own, where it is, what condition it is in.
• People. Recruiting, onboarding and coordinating concert administrators and volunteers. Making sure everyone knows what they are doing before the doors open.
• Coordination. Working closely with the artist manager, ensemble leads and the head office — so that artistic, operational and commercial sides of an event stay aligned.
• Reporting. Post‑concert reports: what worked, what did not, what the venue was like, what to change next time. This feeds directly into how we plan the following season.
