Job Description

Software Project Manager

Live Events | Hertfordshire | Up to £45k + Travel Opportunities

This isn’t your typical project management role.

We’re partnering with an innovative event technology company that supports live events – from festivals and sporting events to award ceremonies and corporate experiences – with intelligent software. They need a hands-on, adaptable Software Project Manager to own delivery from start to finish.

Essential requirements:

  • Minimum 2 years’ experience in project or events management.
  • Background in live events of any kind ideally in sports, music, or a closely related industry, though any kind of event would be beneficial.
  • Confident using Jira for task management and workflow tracking.
  • Working knowledge of Microsoft Office suite.
  • Exposure to web technologies—basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript understanding. (not coding level, but enough insight to be able to talk about it)
  • Strong communication and client-facing skills.
  • Comfortable working both remotely and on-site with occasional travel (including short notice).
  • Organised, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple moving parts under pressure.

Desirable skills:

  • Hands-on experience at live event sites (e.g. event builds, client-facing delivery).
  • Familiarity with React, jQuery, Bootstrap, or MySQL.
  • Prior experience configuring bespoke event software or digital platforms.
  • Mentoring or team leadership exposure within project teams.

If you’ve ever been behind the scenes at a major sporting event or concert – configuring software, managing moving parts, and making sure everything works before the crowds arrive – you’ll get it! And if you haven’t but know you’d thrive in that kind of environment, let’s talk – apply now.
