London
United Kingdom · Field-based with travel · Competitive salary \n \n Make sure every concert happens — and happens properly. \n \n RED EVENTS is an international creative agency that stages musical events in Europe's most extraordinary spaces — historic cathedrals, theatres, palaces, planetariums, orangeries and rooftops. \n We produce hundreds of concerts every year across the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Ireland, the CIS and beyond — working with world-renowned musical brands and creating our own distinctive projects. \n \n We are looking for an Event Manager to own how those concerts actually happen on the ground: the venues, the logistics, the people, and everything that has to work before an audience takes its seat. \n \n WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING \n — Venues. Travelling across the UK for site visits and inspections. Meeting venue management in person, establishing first contact and keeping the relationship warm long after the first concert. \n — Logistics. Planning and coordinating everything that has to arrive in the right place at the right time — instruments, equipment, staging, transport, accommodation. Booking where it falls to you. \n — Scheduling. Building and maintaining the schedule for administrators and performers across concurrent events, and keeping it accurate when things move. \n — Contractors. Sourcing, briefing and coordinating suppliers — technical, staging, transport and everything in between. Including the urgent ones: a piano that needs tuning tonight, a supplier who cancels on the morning of the concert. \n — Purchasing and inventory. Procurement of what events need, and keeping track of company equipment: what we own, where it is, what condition it is in. \n — People. Recruiting, onboarding and coordinating concert administrators and volunteers. Making sure everyone knows what they are doing before the doors open. \n — Coordination. Working closely with the artist manager, ensemble leads and the head office — so that artistic, operational and commercial sides of an event stay aligned. \n — Reporting. Post-concert reports: what worked, what did not, what the venue was like, what to change next time. This feeds directly into how we plan the following season. \n \n WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR \n — 3-5 years' experience in event production, venue operations, touring, hospitality or a comparable \n operational role. The right to work in the United Kingdom. \n — A full driving licence and willingness to travel across the country regularly. \n — Availability to work evenings and weekends — that is when concerts happen. \n — Genuine composure under pressure. Things go wrong on the day, and the job is to fix them without \n the audience noticing. \n — Confidence dealing with venue managers, suppliers and performers face to face. \n — Strong organisation: several events running in parallel, each with its own moving parts. \n — English at C1 or above. \n \n A STRONG ADVANTAGE \n — Experience in classical music, theatre, concerts or cultural venues. \n — Existing relationships with UK venues — churches, cathedrals, theatres, historic buildings. \n — Understanding of technical riders, staging and sound. \n — Experience managing volunteers or casual staff. \n — Experience working with touring or international artists. \n — Experience with Notion or similar coordination tools. \n — Daily use of AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and others). \n — Additional European languages. \n \n WHAT SUCCESS LOOK LIKE \n — Concerts run without the head office having to intervene. \n — Venue relationships that outlast a single booking — and venues that ask us back. \n — A reliable network of contractors, including for the situations that cannot wait. \n — Administrators and volunteers who arrive prepared and know their role. \n — Schedules that hold, and problems flagged early rather than discovered late. \n — Post-concert reports that genuinely improve the next event. \n \n WHAT WE OFFER \n — Work on international cultural projects, with more than 200 musicians performing with us monthly in the UK alone. \n — Real breadth: venues across the whole of England, and — as the role develops — the possibility of working on projects beyond it. \n — Direct work with international artists and world-renowned musical brands. \n — Involvement in launching new concert formats, from cathedral programmes to immersive projects. \n — A formal working relationship and paid holiday. \n — Travel costs covered. \n — A competitive salary, open to review. \n — An ambitious, friendly and international team. \n — Professional and career growth. \n \n WHY RED EVENTS \n We value initiative, independence and a genuine desire to keep growing. No two days are the same here: No two days are the same here: today you are inspecting a cathedral in York, tomorrow you are briefing administrators for a premiere in London, and a week later you are solving a supplier problem two hours before doors open in Brighton. If you want to see your work in a full hall and a concert that ran exactly as it should have — we'd love to meet you. \n \n Red Events & Distribution Limited \n 167–169 Great Portland Street, 5th Floor, London W1W 5PF, United Kingdom \n \n To apply: hr@redevents.world · www.redevents.world
