Bold, innovative and fan‑focused, a first direct bank arena has been redefining the live experience since opening in 2013. Hosting world‑class music, sport and major events, this 13,781‑capacity “super theatre” brings audiences closer to the action, delivering exceptional sound and atmosphere from every seat. Once crowned Best New Venue in the World, it is the heartbeat of live entertainment in Leeds.

The Events Manager is responsible for the planning, advancement, coordination, and successful delivery of a diverse programme of live events including concerts, comedy shows, sporting fixtures, conferences, and corporate events. Working closely with promoters, tour representatives, event organisers, contractors, and internal departments, the role ensures all events are delivered safely, efficiently, and to the highest operational and customer service standards.

The Events Manager acts as Duty Manager during events, overseeing venue operations, managing event budgets and recharges, and ensuring compliance with health, safety, security, and licensing requirements.
