About itison

At itison we believe life is about the experience.

We match our 1.7 million members with the best local experiences; work with over 5,000 of the best local and national businesses; create Scotland’s most spectacular major events; own and operate some of the best local venues, and set up our own charity, itison us, to give experiences to those who need them the most.

We also believe that the experience starts with us, with an amazing culture, benefits and working environment.

itison events

itison is one of Scotland’s largest event owners and producers, putting on world class events for over 300,000 event goers annually. We’re the market leader at what we do and we’re looking for the best to join our team to help expand our events.

Our model is to create and fund world class unique events, each with their own execution plan, business model, and delivery teams; usually made up of internal itison teams supplemented by the best freelance technical and creative talent around.

Our goal is to light up the dark months and deliver exceptional experiences that bring joy and escapism whilst leaving lasting positive impact in the communities we work.

We’re looking for either an ambitious graduate (with some events experience) or an events professional to join our team and learn how to be the best in event producing. You'll work with the country’s leading creative, marketing and in-house expertise; receive lots of training and support and be mentored by one of our leading events team. This is a busy role, where your learning and development will be fast-tracked.

You’ll be based in our award-winning Glasgow head office, and also on-site at our event locations.

This is a fantastic opportunity for the right candidate, with the possibility of longer-term career progression and leadership opportunities.

What’s the role?

You will be responsible for mastering all aspects of producing events across the core disciplines of:

• Venue and outdoor space management
• Licencing and compliance
• Building and co-ordinating design and production teams
• Co-ordinating an internal team and bank of freelancers to support each event
• Running a production budget – income & expenditure
• Supplier management and negotiation
• Working and directing multi-disciplinary teams
• Operational & logistical management
• Planning & scheduling – overall planning of all aspects of events & timescales including build and de-rig
• Community & stakeholder engagement
• Development of new events including business modelling, ticket modelling and building creative
• Working closely with a designated, experienced Senior Producer to support their daily activities, assisting with administration and research tasks

You will be paired with our Senior Producer, who will coach & mentor your development over a six-month period, at which point you will ‘graduate’ to become an Assistant Producer.

During the planning stage of events, you will be mainly office based and involved in all aspects of administration, supplier liaison, planning and scheduling. Once events are live, you’ll be a key face on site, leading and motivating our event teams, and helping to make sure every event goer has a fantastic experience at our events.

For all parts of this role, you’ll need to be great with people, confident dealing with different teams and personalities, and have bags of determination and resilience.

The right candidate

We only work with the very best people and we’re looking for someone super-smart, confident, personable and energetic, who is passionate about carving out a successful career in event producing.

• Intelligent, confident, personable, responsible and resilient, with bags of enthusiasm
• A quick learner & good listener with the ability to take instruction and work independently
• Comfortable using systems and savvy enough to learn/find out what you don’t know
• Excellent at administration and organisation
• A desire to go the extra mile and make every event unique, magical and nothing less than a 5* star experience for each and every event goer
• Enjoy lots of fun and reward, but also hard work – you’ll need to thrive in a fast-paced environment, be able to think on your feet and deal with the occasional curve-ball
• Thrive on a hands-on approach to problem solving and a curiosity to learn
• Strong leadership and a brilliant motivator – working on site can be tough, you’ll be responsible for galvanising great teams and maintaining our approach for each itison event crew to have as good an experience as the event goers.
