Description

Job Summary

From the Fields is on the hunt for a dynamic and highly organised Event Manager to manage the operational delivery of selected award-winning light trail experiences.

Job Description

This is a full-time role with potential to work from home: work from wherever you're most productive, with the freedom to base yourself in our Manchester (Northern Quarter) studio as often as you like. You'll join us on-site for live-event builds and show days and pop into the office once a month for key leadership and creative sessions.

You'll join a small, ambitious team where ideas are heard, creativity is championed, and there's real scope to grow and lead. With 300,000 tickets sold for our light trail experiences last year, these events continue to grow immensely, with continuous new opportunities for expansion, and they are now recognised as some of the largest in the country.

This is a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of the development of immersive experiences across the country and, with the freedom to innovate and the backing to deliver unforgettable, high-profile events, this is your chance to leave your mark on some of the most exciting live experiences in the UK. This is a role reporting to the Directors. From the Fields is part of the Superstruct Entertainment Group, which is the second largest live entertainment platform in the world, being the home of global brands and festivals such as Boiler Room, Boardmasters, Sonar, Elrow, and many more.
