Senior Producer

Founded in 2013 by Jennifer Davidson, we’re an independently owned experience partner delivering world class events and experiences for some of the biggest brands, across the globe. We partner with forward-thinking, ambitious clients to create impact - whether for a product roadshow, a reimagined B2B conference, a global car launch, or a major industry exhibition. Our ambition is simple: to create human-first experiences that build communities, fuel innovation, spark collaboration, and unlock new opportunities for our clients.

Our approach has earned us places on both The Sunday Times 100 Fastest Growing Company List (#21) and the Business Leader Growth 500 list in 2025. We’re also proud to be recognised as a 2025 Sunday Times and Campaign “Best Place to Work”. These accolades reflect something we nurture; building success without compromising on people, purpose or standards. We call it ‘growth without compromise’.

Sleek is defined by a people-before-profit mindset. We celebrate individuality, set high standards and believe purposeful leadership and exceptional work go hand in hand. Everyone here is self-motivated, curious and committed to growing, regardless of seniority. We value people who take ownership, solve problems willingly, act on feedback, and are comfortable operating in a fast-moving, high-standards environment.

Based in Wimbledon, our HQ is a bright, modern and collaborative space where people genuinely enjoy spending time sharing ideas, playlists, lunch breaks and visits from the office dogs. Being proudly OfficeByDesign, we work from our HQ four days a week with one work-from-home day, plus flexible core hours. This pattern is central to how we work. We know we learn and perform better when we’re together – after all, our business is about bringing people together.

Our structure has been consciously designed to enable growth and invest heavily in team development. You’ll find Sleek a welcoming place for everyone, from those starting their careers to experienced specialists. We’re committed to creating a community where you can do your best work and realise your potential. We also expect and welcome candidates from all backgrounds and are here to make reasonable adjustments throughout the interview process wherever needed - just let us know.

The role of Senior Producer exists to help Sleek drive our ‘growth without compromise’ purpose by delivering live events that truly represent Sleek’s ‘go further’ passion. You’ll be well versed in leading project teams to deliver complex, creative brand events, managing budgets of over £500k and delighting your clients.
