· Field-based with travel
· Competitive per-event fee /p pbMake sure every concert happens — and happens properly. /b /p pRED EVENTS is an international creative agency that stages musical events in Europe's most extraordinary spaces — historic cathedrals, theatres, palaces, planetariums, orangeries and rooftops. /p pWe produce hundreds of concerts every year across Belgium , the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Ireland, the CIS and beyond — working with world-renowned musical brands and creating our own distinctive projects. /p pWe are looking for an Event Manager to own how those concerts actually happen on the ground: the venues, the logistics, the people, and everything that has to work before an audience takes its seat. /p h3WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING /h3 ul libVenues /b. Travelling across Belgium or your local city for site visits and inspections. Meeting venue management in person, establishing first contact and keeping the relationship warm long after the first concert. /li libLogistics /b. Planning and coordinating everything that has to arrive in the right place at the right time — instruments, equipment, staging, transport, accommodation. Booking where it falls to you. /li libScheduling /b. Building and maintaining the schedule for administrators and performers across concurrent events, and keeping it accurate when things move. /li libContractors /b. Sourcing, briefing and coordinating suppliers — technical, staging, transport and everything in between. Including the urgent ones: a piano that needs tuning tonight, a supplier who cancels on the morning of the concert. /li libPurchasing and inventory /b. Procurement of what events need, and keeping track of company equipment: what we own, where it is, what condition it is in. /li libPeople /b. Recruiting, onboarding and coordinating concert administrators and volunteers. Making sure everyone knows what they are doing before the doors open. /li libCoordination /b. Working closely with the artist manager, ensemble leads and the head office — so that artistic, operational and commercial sides of an event stay aligned. /li libReporting /b. Post-concert reports: what worked, what did not, what the venue was like, what to change next time. This feeds directly into how we plan the following season. /li /ul h3WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR /h3 ul li3-5 years' experience in event production, venue operations, touring, hospitality or a comparable operational role. /li liAvailability to work evenings and weekends — that is when concerts happen. /li liGenuine composure under pressure. Things go wrong on the day, and the job is to fix them without the audience noticing. /li liConfidence dealing with venue managers, suppliers and performers face to face. /li liStrong organisation: several events running in parallel, each with its own moving parts. /li liEnglish at B2 or above. /li /ul h3A STRONG ADVANTAGE /h3 ul liExperience in classical music, theatre, concerts or cultural venues. /li liExisting relationships with Belgium venues — churches, cathedrals, theatres, historic buildings. /li liUnderstanding of technical riders, staging and sound. /li liExperience working with touring or international artists. /li liExperience with Notion or similar coordination tools. /li liDaily use of AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and others). /li /ul h3WHAT SUCCESS LOOK LIKE /h3 ul liConcerts run without the head office having to intervene. /li liVenue relationships that outlast a single booking — and venues that ask us back. /li liA reliable network of contractors, including for the situations that cannot wait. /li liAdministrators and volunteers who arrive prepared and know their role. /li liSchedules that hold, and problems flagged early rather than discovered late. /li liPost-concert reports that genuinely improve the next event. /li /ul h3WHAT
