Festivals Project Manager

As a Project Manager, you will work alongside our operations and HR team to assist with the general day-to-day running of the festival team. You will be assigned various festivals/gigs to focus on throughout the season. The work in the build-up to the event will be focused on recruiting and selecting the best teams available, liaising with the client to gather all the information required, and then being on-site at the event to ensure full attendance and to be on hand if any issues were to arise during the running of the event.


Whilst on-site you’ll have a support network in the office to aid you in any way needed. The role on-site can vary from being on-hand to support the client with minor staff issues to actually working alongside the staff, building up an idea of who is who in our team and their various qualities.
