Assistant Event Manager, Southbank Centre

The Event Management team work on Events across all artforms and Public Programming activity and are scheduled around 3 months in advance. The team consists of Producers, artform specialist Event Managers (e.g. Classical Music) and multi-artform Event Managers, Assistant Event Managers and Producing Assistants; who all work alongside the wider Artistic Programming team.

The Assistant Event Manager role is responsible for the advancing, coordination, delivery and reconciliation of allocated events across all artforms in mostly non-auditorium spaces, such as the Clore Ballroom, Riverside Terrace, QEH Foyer, Pavilions and function rooms alongside smaller-scale auditorium events. The role also provides support to Event Managers on larger-scale auditorium events.

No one day as an Assistant Event Manager is the same, and we're proud to work with some of the biggest names in the arts, from our renowned resident orchestras to producing the internationally acclaimed London Literature Festival and the longest running curator-led festival in the world, Meltdown Festival. The Event Management team is a welcoming group full of industry leading professionals creating amazing experiences in a stunning central London location by the River Thames.

The majority of Southbank Centre Artistic Events take place Tuesday to Sunday and the post-holder should expect to work regular evenings and on approximately three weekends out of five.

We care about our artists, our audiences and local residents with our location in the heart of Lambeth and we have a considerable programme of events available free at the point of entry bringing people together, and bringing unbeatable cultural experiences to underrepresented audiences.
