What You Will Be Doing

The role is within our Brand Experience Division at Wasserman Live, where we deliver experiential projects and campaigns for multiple clients. We work with brands in various sectors, from FMCG to aviation, and directly with rights holders to deliver for their partners.

We’re looking for a highly organised, resourceful, and proactive Producer to join our team and bring exceptional live experiences to life. You’ll be the driving force behind project delivery — collaborating closely with creative, strategy, and account teams to turn bold ideas into seamless, on-the-ground activations. This role requires proven industry experience, confident project leadership, and the ability to steer large-scale activations from pitch to wrap up, with clarity and authority.

Specific Responsibilities

• Oversee the full lifecycle of experiential campaigns — from early planning through to delivery and post-event analysis
• Own project scopes, budgets, and timelines, ensuring strategic alignment with client goals and creative vision
• Lead the production response during pitch and procurement phases, shaping the how as well as the what
• Build and manage senior-level relationships with clients, suppliers, and internal stakeholders — acting as the production lead across key accounts
• Collaborate with our highly skilled internal production, fabrication, and logistics teams - setting clear expectations and maintaining high standards
• Identify risks, troubleshoot issues, and implement solutions at pace, both during planning and in live environments
• Manage complex budgets (six figures and above), including supplier negotiations, cost tracking, and reconciliations
• Ensure all work meets relevant compliance, H&S, sustainability, and insurance requirements
• Contribute to process development and best practices across the agency’s production function
• Mentor and support junior members of the team, fostering growth and knowledge-sharing within the team
