• Build trusted relationships with clients through clear communication, responsiveness and exceptional service.
• Lead project meetings, status updates and client communications throughout the project lifecycle.
• Confidently present project updates, production plans and delivery schedules to clients and stakeholders.

• Manage project budgets from initial estimates through to final reconciliation.
• Raise purchase orders, manage supplier quotations, monitor project spend and ensure accurate financial reporting.
• Negotiate with suppliers to achieve the best commercial outcomes while maintaining quality and delivery standards.
• Support profitability by identifying efficiencies and managing project costs effectively.

• Coordinate all production elements required for successful campaign delivery.
• Manage venue sourcing, contracting and negotiations where required.

• Run of show
• Crew schedules
• Staffing plans
• Supplier contact lists
• Team briefings
• Health & safety documentation
• Oversee onsite delivery, ensuring projects are executed safely, professionally and to Unreal's standards.

• Build and maintain strong relationships with production partners, venues, freelancers and specialist suppliers.
• Source new suppliers and evaluate existing partners to ensure the agency has access to the best talent and capabilities.
• Manage supplier performance throughout project delivery.

• Follow and champion Unreal's internal project management processes and best practices.
• Help improve ways of working by identifying opportunities to increase efficiency.
• Collaborate closely with creative, strategy, production and account teams to ensure seamless project delivery.

• Represent Unreal professionally at industry events, exhibitions and networking opportunities.
• Contribute content and insights from agency projects and industry events for marketing and social media where appropriate.

• Proven experience managing experiential marketing campaigns, brand activations or live events within an agency environment.
• Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Excellent organisational skills with exceptional attention to detail.
• Strong commercial awareness and experience managing project budgets.
