You’ll also take ownership of contractual and operational accuracy, overseeing the drafting and review of agreements to safeguard both commercial and legal standards. This role suits a confident, highly organized professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment, loves developing others, and can balance strategic thinking with day-to-day delivery.

  • Ensure smooth handovers from business development teams, with clear communication of client goals and expectations.

Event Delivery & Client Experience

  • Provide senior-level oversight on high-value or complex speaker engagements, stepping in to troubleshoot challenges or manage escalations.
  • Guarantee smooth event delivery across keynotes, workshops, and conferences by managing timelines, tech checks, and logistics.
  • Build and maintain relationships with speakers, agencies, and clients — ensuring clear communication and alignment at every stage.
  • Manage event logistics end to end, including travel, technical requirements, recordings, licensing, and contingency planning.
  • Review, draft, and approve contracts and amendments, ensuring all terms reflect agreed scope, deliverables, and commercial frameworks.
  • Collaborate with internal and legal stakeholders to resolve contract queries, amendments, or non-standard clauses.
  • Process & Continuous Improvement

  • Develop and implement efficient systems and workflows to improve accuracy, speed, and consistency across the production function.
  • Create playbooks and templates for different event types to ensure scalable and repeatable delivery standards.
  • Monitor production metrics — such as turnaround times, client satisfaction, and SLA adherence — and act on data insights to enhance performance.
  • Partner with growth and commercial teams on proposals, pricing, and new service innovations.
  • Who You Are

  • You’re a proactive, detail-oriented professional who enjoys the mix of logistics, relationships, and creative problem-solving.
  • You thrive in fast-moving environments and take pride in developing others while ensuring that every client interaction reflects excellence.
  • We’re looking for someone who is :

  • Driven and hands-on, comfortable taking ownership of complex bookings and supporting others to do the same.

  • Digitally savvy, confident using CRM and project management tools and excited by automation and new technology.
  • Client-focused, with high standards of professionalism, communication, and service delivery.
  • Experience & Skills Required

  • 3–5 years of experience in event production, speaker management, or talent coordination, including at least 1–3 years leading a team.
  • Solid understanding of speaker bureau operations, talent representation, or corporate event workflows.
  • Experience managing multiple simultaneous projects and meeting tight deadlines.
  • Strong background in contract negotiation and review, ideally within events, media, or entertainment.
