In 1999 a high-level concierge service was founded in a basement apartment in Notting Hill. In the decades since, the business has evolved into an international full-service agency that has earned itself a globally recognised track record of delivering some of the most impactful and innovative experiences around for clients such as LinkedIn, Gong and VeeFriends. We have great ambitions and are proud of everything we’ve built since our basement apartment days, but we’re still growing, and for our next phase, we need you!
what you’ll be doing
We’re going through an exciting period of growth, helping clients across the world bring their stories to life through the power of events, and we’re looking for someone brilliant to help us do that. So, if you’re a Lead Event Services Manager (or think you’ve got what it takes to become one!) we need you!
The purpose of the Lead Event Services Manager role is to ensure seamless operations within the production department by providing comprehensive support to the Head of Event Production, effectively managing producer workloads, and fostering strong supplier partnerships. This role is crucial in maintaining high standards of efficiency, productivity, and quality across all production activities.
To deliver this successfully, a proven track record of improving workflows and processes, managing supplier relationships, managing multiple projects and managing a large team is vital. You will have previously been an Executive Producer/Senior Producer with events and also have managed a team. Your roles and responsibilities will vary however, your core focus will be to act as a pivotal figure in the organisation, ensuring that all production processes are well-coordinated, deadlines are met, and supplier relationships are optimised for mutual success.
what you’ll need
In this role, you’ll be in charge of a team of Producers and managing supplier relationships. As a result, we’re looking for someone who is great at communicating and building relationships (both inside and outside of the business) and is never afraid to speak up and tell people what they need.
We take pride in all that we do and always spend time getting to know the details involved in our projects. In this role, you’ll be in charge of the production process! As a result, you’ll need to have high levels of organisation to ensure each project is managed correctly.
We look for those who are willing to get involved, take risks if they spot a great opportunity, and help us get to where we want to be. Because of this, we need somebody that’s happy to ask for help if they’re not sure of something, and is ready to get stuck into the role and make it their own.
We work online, remote/hybrid, and create virtual, live and hybrid events. Because of this, we use a lot of different software (that we’ll teach you how to use!) both internally and on our projects, so you’ll need the ability to navigate different technologies.
what you’ll get
The chance to be part of a fast-growing, award-winning global events agency that encourages their team to have autonomy over their role, enabling you to bring new ideas to the table, develop your role into exactly what you want it to be and receive support whilst doing it.
In addition to that, in return for everything you bring, we will provide the following:
With events happening in incredible locations across the globe, there are plenty of opportunities to travel. Previous locations include New York, Miami, San Francisco, Mexico City, São Paulo, Singapore, Dubai, Ibiza, Barcelona, Paris, Hvar and more!
We have typical hours of 10 am – 6 pm but due to the nature of the events industry, we offer a flexible approach to this. Want to work different hours? You can. Need to pop out for an appointment? You can. You just need to let your manager know!
A great company culture provides more than just lip service—and we make sure we’re always doing that by regularly investing in it. Not just offering you a job and a warm welcome, but creating opportunities for you to build a fulfilling career. We do this by investing in your development, whether personal or professional, providing accessible leadership, and hosting numerous team socials. Including Christmas and Summer parties you’ll actually want to attend—with previous overnight stays at venues such as the Wilderness Reserve, Four Seasons and Artists Residence.
We work remotely most of the time, but have one day a week where we meet in our (dog-friendly!) Soho Works office so we can connect and catch up. When you’re not in the office, you can work from anywhere: your home, your garden, abroad — and we’ll set you up with the equipment to do so, including an Apple MacBook, mouse, laptop stand and second screen.
At emc3, we have a dedicated learning and development budget allocated to each person so that they can learn and grow in their role. And when it comes to progression, you’ll have the opportunity to level: up, down or sideways! Whether you’re looking to progress further in a current role or change departments—where possible, we’ll always support you with the transition.
In addition to unlimited paid time off for mental health, we provide free access to therapy, counselling and mental health resources for all of our employees.
We believe everybody should do their bit, and so offer one paid day off a year so that you can help out in your local community.
We care about the impact events and our business have on the environment and have a sustainability team to ensure we follow best practices to make our events as environmentally friendly as possible.
