You’ll be involved in all phases of event production, from pre-event planning to post-event wrap-up.

Person Specification

We’re looking for someone who’s:

  • • A strong team player – collaborative, reliable, and ready to help out

  • • Organised & proactive – able to juggle multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment

  • • Great with people – confident talking to suppliers and stakeholders

  • • A clear communicator – written and verbal, internally and externally

  • • Tech-savvy – comfortable with Google Workspace and Excel

  • • Detail-oriented – able to handle admin, budgets, and confidential information with care

  • • Events-savvy – ideally with some previous experience working in live events

  • • Flexible with hours – happy to work evenings, weekends, and irregular shifts when required

  • • Full-time office-based – must be able to work from our Manchester HQ daily

What We Offer

  • • Exposure to all aspects of event production
  • • Hands-on mentoring and training
  • • Opportunities for growth within a supportive, energetic team
  • • A collaborative working culture with a shared passion for live events
