Shape operations from the ground up at a venue launching October 2026. Central London creative hub, offices inside the venue site. Tight-knit permanent team with genuine influence at senior level.

- Own all production planning and operational delivery across the multi-space venue.
- Coordinate simultaneous live programming across six performance spaces and additional rooms.
- Manage contractor relationships, technical suppliers and production budgets.
- Develop production processes, schedules and operational frameworks ahead of launch.
- Work closely with the creative and programming teams to realise complex, non-standard formats.
The Candidate: Candidates who will thrive as Head of Event Production, Live Venue have led large-scale venue production at a senior level, with a track record of managing complex, simultaneous live programming across multiple spaces. Experience across live music, festivals or live performance is essential.
