Head of Projects – £70K-£80k – Event Management Company – Set & Staging specialists – Midlands/WFH
This is a leadership role where delivery actually matters.
Not just managing timelines on a spreadsheet.
Not just sitting in meetings talking about delivery.
Actually owning it.
You’ll be stepping into a business that’s already doing a lot right. Award-winning, well-established and trusted to deliver across staging, event build and full project execution. A proper one-stop shop, which means complexity comes as standard.
And that’s where you come in.
There’s real opportunity here. Not to reinvent everything for the sake of it, but to bring clarity, structure and leadership to a function that genuinely matters. The kind of role where what you do will be felt quickly.
By the team.
By the clients.
By the end result.
You’ll be leading project delivery across multiple live projects at any one time. Different stakeholders. Different pressures. The kind of environment where things shift, briefs evolve and not everything goes to plan.
And that’s the point.
You’re the person people turn to when it matters. When timelines tighten. When something needs making sense of. When the plan on paper needs translating into something that actually works on site.
You’ve probably built your career in delivery.
You understand how things really get executed, not just how they’re supposed to.
You can see problems coming before they land, and when they do land, you deal with them.
You can lead a team without sitting above it. You know when to step in, when to challenge and when to let people get on with it. You bring structure where it’s needed, but you don’t overcomplicate things for the sake of it.
You’re calm under pressure, not because there isn’t any, but because you’ve been there before.
And you take ownership. Proper ownership.

Who knows where it will take you.
Don’t worry if your CV isn’t up to date, we can deal with that later.
