Location: UK or US At Nteractive, we create experiences that connect people with brands in unforgettable ways. We deliver global conferences, exhibitions, product launches and live experiences for some of the world’s leading technology and lifestyle brands.

We’re looking for an experienced Project Director – Logistics Lead to take ownership of the operational logistics for a major global technology client, delivering complex conferences, exhibitions and corporate live events across multiple locations.

This is a senior project leadership role for someone who understands that event logistics is much more than moving people and things
.

It is the management of attendee movement, venue operations, staffing, transportation, suppliers, security, risk and onsite execution required to deliver a seamless event experience — from initial planning through to final reconciliation.

As the Logistics Lead, you’ll bring all of these moving parts together, creating the operational strategy, plans and processes that make complex events work.

You’ll lead logistics across large-scale global programmes, working closely with our Account Directors, Event Services, Production, Creative, Registration, Sponsorship and other specialist teams to ensure every element is planned, coordinated and delivered to the highest standard.

You’ll own the logistics strategy and operational delivery across major corporate events, conferences and exhibitions, acting as the senior logistics lead for the programme.

You’ll be responsible for bringing together multiple work streams, suppliers, teams and stakeholders to create a safe, efficient and exceptional experience for attendees and clients.

• Develop and manage strategies for attendee movement and flow across large-scale events.
• Plan transportation, arrivals, departures, transfers and other attendee logistics.
• Work closely with Registration and other teams to ensure a seamless attendee journey.
• Identify potential operational challenges and develop solutions before they impact the event.

• Lead venue logistics planning across complex conference and exhibition environments.
• Develop detailed operational plans, schedules, floor plans, logistics trackers and onsite processes.
• Coordinate access, loading, unloading, storage, deliveries, back-of-house operations and venue requirements.
• Ensure operational plans integrate effectively with Production, Technical Production, Registration, F&B, Sponsorship and Creative.
• Lead the transition from planning into onsite delivery and ensure the operational plan works in practice.

• Work with clients, venues, security teams and suppliers to develop robust operational security plans.
• Identify operational risks across the programme and develop appropriate mitigation and contingency plans.
• Ensure teams are prepared to respond quickly and effectively to unexpected situations.
• Maintain a calm, proactive and solutions-focused approach throughout delivery.

• Develop staffing and resource plans for event delivery.
• Coordinate event staff, freelancers, contractors and operational teams.
• Ensure teams are appropriately briefed, scheduled and positioned to support the attendee and client experience.
• Work with internal teams to ensure the right people and resources are in place at the right time.
