We’re Hiring: Senior Production Manager
Make the extraordinary, everlasting - with us. At EC, we craft extraordinary experiences that leave a lasting impression – not just for our clients, but for our people too. We blend the big ideas of a creative agency with the meticulous execution of a production company, bringing bold, imaginative events to life.
We’re collaborative, down-to-earth, and serious about delivering quality – all while finding time for lightness and fun. If you’re someone who’s curious, adaptable and excited to do meaningful work with a team that’s got your back, we’d love to hear from you.
About The Role
We’re on the lookout for a Senior Production Manager to join our Production team. Reporting directly to the Head of Production Management, you will be accountable for driving and managing the delivery of some of the group’s most ambitious projects across a broad range of sectors.
Who are you?
- You have demonstrable senior-level experience in a similar role in the live events industry.
- You are a natural leader and have exceptional stakeholder management skills, with the ability to drive diverse multi-workstream project teams of both internal and external stakeholders.
- You have an in-depth and extensive knowledge of all aspects of production delivery, meaning you are comfortable being an escalation point for other team members.
- You are a team player with a flexible and enthusiastic approach.
- You can balance both creative and analytical thinking, with the ability to consider logistical, commercial and creative aspects of projects to simultaneously champion guest experience and creative outcomes, whilst also ensuring commercial success.
- You are confident working in Vectorworks, AutoCAD or similar software in 3D to interrogate, and realise complex solutions.
- You have extensive experience working in a range of project types and sectors such as live shows, large-scale conferences, private events, exhibitions, brand activations and roadshows.
- Ideally you have knowledge of working both within the UK and internationally.
- You are a natural organiser and can confidently run schedules across multiple workstreams such as a multi-site event.
- You have a strong health and safety background and can own and drive this in both pre-production and on-site project phases.
- You don’t get phased under pressure; you’re the consummate professional. Even when something isn’t going quite according to plan, you remain calm and get the situation sorted.
You don’t have to tick every box - we care just as much about curiosity, adaptability and a growth mindset as we do experience on paper.
