Job Description
From the Fields is on the hunt for a visionary and commercially astute Events Director to lead the strategic, creative, and operational development of our award-winning light trail experiences.
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.

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 senior leadership role within the From the Fields team and will report into 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.
