3 days direct with client / 2 days working with creative agency

£300-350 per day

Can you seamlessly switch between running agency projects and delivering exceptional live events?

I'm working with a highly regarded integrated agency that has an immediate requirement for a contractor who combines strong agency Project Management skills with hands-on Event Production experience.

This is a genuinely unusual opportunity where no two weeks are likely to look the same. Around two days each week will be spent managing creative and marketing projects through the agency, while the remaining time will focus on planning and delivering professional corporate events for a dedicated client across Birmingham and London.

If you enjoy balancing multiple priorities, working with a wide range of stakeholders and seeing projects through from concept to delivery, this could be an excellent contract.

This 6 month engagement will involve:

Agency Project Management:

\n
• Managing multiple creative and marketing projects
\n
• Producing scopes of work and project timings
\n
• Coordinating internal creative and delivery teams
\n
• Managing client communications
\n
• Ensuring projects remain on schedule and within scope
\n

Event Production

\n
• Planning and delivering corporate events from start to finish, often at clients' offices in Birmingham or London
\n
• Managing venues, suppliers and logistics
\n
• Coordinating stakeholders and delegate communications
\n
• Supporting event marketing activity
\n
• Delivering seamless on-site event experiences
\n

Events will be primarily delivered across Birmingham and London, so flexibility around event schedules and occasional travel is essential, travel will be paid. As will the convenience of working from a Birmingham based office.

Ideally, candidates will offer:

\n
• Previous experience as a Project Manager within a creative, integrated, digital or marketing agency
\n
• A proven background delivering corporate events or experiential projects
\n
• Strong scoping and project planning skills
\n
• Experience producing detailed timing plans
\n
• Excellent stakeholder management skills
\n
• The ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously
\n
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach
\n

Experience using marketing automation platforms, managing event invitations or working with delegate communications would also be advantageous.
