Event Delivery Manager in London

Responsible to the Senior Event Delivery Manager at Battersea Arts Centre. Working closely with: Event Delivery Manager, Senior Operations Manager, Bar & Cafe Manager, Production & Technical Team, Sales Teams and Freelance/Casual event staff. This role will be part of BAC’s Operations Team. It may be expected to contribute to a range of workstreams, but the role will primarily lead on all our Commercial Event work as set out below.

General Description

The Event Delivery Manager is responsible for the end-to-end planning, coordination and delivery of a diverse programme of commercial and cultural activity at BAC, including filming hires, weddings, funerals, corporate events, conferences, performances and community events. They will ensure activity is delivered safely, on time, within budget and to the highest standards, providing an exceptional experience for clients, suppliers and staff.

The role involves managing internal teams, external suppliers, logistics, communications, risk mitigation and post-event evaluation, while balancing excellent customer service with strong operational delivery. We would particularly welcome applicants with experience of working with film and television productions, helping to build on BAC's growing reputation as a sought-after filming location and working confidently with Location Managers, production teams and internal stakeholders.

The culture at BAC is a collaborative and open one. We work in an open plan space with no closed private offices and frequently work across teams and roles. We are lucky to have an outdoor terrace adjoined to the office which is particularly nice in the summer months. There’s a good culture of people taking lunch breaks away from desks and two equipped kitchen and eating areas where the team tend to spend their down time. We organise regular social events and things can get competitive at our annual sports day and Christmas quiz. Though to be clear, spectating is respected as much as taking part here at BAC!
