Production Manager (Live Events)

Amplify has a dedicated Production Team led out of our UK office, responsible for planning and producing a broad range of projects, campaigns and events for an array of clients. We are actively delivering experiences across the UK, mainland Europe, Australia and North America with the ongoing ambition to deliver a wider scope of projects within a multi genre client and cultural landscape.

As a Production Manager you will be the primary contact between internal stakeholders at Amplify and our external suppliers and partners, be that technical, fabrication, logistical, H&S, local authorities and more. You will be the production and technical figurehead, the go-to person for team members looking to you for your expertise and support. You'll be as cool as they come, unflappable and the epitome of a safe pair of hands. Your experience will span the delivery of Live events as well as digital, hybrid, content and broadcast focused experiences. You’ll bring your experience to the fore to ensure all projects and challenges are met head on with a positive and can-do approach.

You will work as part of a wider team and be expected to calmly navigate all the different challenges that come with involvement in our biggest and most complex projects, ensuring all relevant stakeholders are kept abreast of the key developments and requirements through every stage, from concept ideation through to final execution.
