About The Role:

A leading multidisciplinary creative studio is seeking an accomplished Head of Events to oversee the planning, delivery and strategic direction of a diverse portfolio of high-profile, international events.

• Take sole responsibility for large-scale project budgets, controlling costs, timelines and resources to ensure successful delivery
• Lead supplier and partner relationships, negotiating contracts and managing performance
• Stay at the forefront of industry trends, innovation and emerging technologies, integrating these into event concepts where appropriate
• Report directly to Company Directors, providing clear oversight of project progress, resourcing and financial performance

Key Skills / Experience:
