Event Operations Manager

This isn’t a role where you “support events” – You own them.

From concept through to delivery, you’ll take full operational responsibility for complex, large-scale experiences the kind where detail matters, timelines are tight, and expectations are high.

You’ll be trusted to run your projects properly.

Just expected to deliver.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading end-to-end delivery of multiple live projects across different locations
• Managing budgets, forecasts and cost control with real accountability
• Acting as the operational lead onsite, solving problems in real time
• Working closely with commercial teams to ensure delivery matches what’s been sold
• Ensuring every stakeholder (internal + external) knows exactly what’s happening and when
• Continuously improving how things are done, not just repeating the same playbook

This is a role for someone who likes control, structure, and seeing things come together under pressure.

What We’re Looking For

• Comfortable managing budgets north of £500k and high-value suppliers
• Strong project manager: organised, structured, and calm under pressure
• Someone who takes ownership (not someone who waits to be told)
• Commercial awareness: you understand cost vs value, not just delivery
• Confident communicator who can deal with senior stakeholders and suppliers alike
