Role: Production Manager (Live, Experiential & Corporate Events)

Are you an unflappable Production Manager who thrives on turning ambitious creative concepts into flawless reality?

We’re currently partnering with a top-tier London agency known for delivering world-class live experiences, brand activations, and high-impact corporate events. They are looking for a go-to production figurehead to join their central London team in a hybrid setup.

Whether it's an immersive B2C brand activation or a complex B2B corporate build, you're as cool as they come, fiercely organised, and the epitome of a safe pair of hands.

What You’ll Be Doing

• End-to-End Production: Act as the primary production figurehead and technical lead across a diverse slate of live events, digital/hybrid experiences, content, and broadcast projects.
• Stakeholder & Supplier Management: Serve as the core bridge between creative, client services, and external partners—leveraging your black book of trusted suppliers, technical crews, fabricators, and local authorities.
• Budget Ownership: Manage production budgets up to £450k–£500k+, driving smart supplier negotiations, protecting project margins, and maintaining tight financial control.
• Technical Oversight: Interpret and refine spatial plans using CAD, SketchUp, Vectorworks (or similar), ensuring clear version control across teams and technical suppliers.
• H&S & Compliance: Act as the reliable voice for site safety, risk assessments, permits, licensing, and insurance requirements.
• On-Site Execution: Lead the charge on-site during load-ins, builds, live show runs, and derigs with a positive, solutions-orientated mindset.

Who We’re Looking For

• Agency Experience: Background working within an integrated marketing agency, experiential agency, or live event production agency.
• Dual Event Expertise: Proven experience balancing both B2C experiential activations and B2B corporate event production.
• Technical Breadth: Strong foundational knowledge across scenic fabrication, AV, lighting, sound, rigging, site infrastructure, and broadcast/digital delivery.
• Financial Acumen: Confidence managing £100k–£500k+ budgets, tracking spends, and negotiating value without compromising creative ambition.
• Cool Under Pressure: A calm problem-solver who can navigate tight deadlines and shifting timelines without breaking a sweat.

Why Apply?

• Hybrid Balance: Enjoy the buzz of central London agency life combined with flexible hybrid working.
• High-Profile Slate: Work on major, multi-genre projects for some of the world's most exciting brands.
• Culture: Join a collaborative, forward-thinking production team that values innovation, creativity, and technical excellence.
