Austria · Field-based with travel · Competitive per-event fee

Make sure every concert happens — and happens properly.

RED EVENTS is an international creative agency that stages musical events in Europe's most extraordinary spaces — historic cathedrals, theatres, palaces, planetariums, orangeries and rooftops.

We produce hundreds of concerts every year across Austria , the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Ireland, the CIS and beyond — working with world-renowned musical brands and creating our own distinctive projects.

We are looking for an Event Manager to own how those concerts actually happen on the ground: the venues, the logistics, the people, and everything that has to work before an audience takes its seat.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

- Venues. Travelling across Austria or your local city for site visits and inspections. Meeting venue management in person, establishing first contact and keeping the relationship warm long after the first concert.
- Logistics. Planning and coordinating everything that has to arrive in the right place at the right time — instruments, equipment, staging, transport, accommodation. Booking where it falls to you.
- Scheduling. Building and maintaining the schedule for administrators and performers across concurrent events, and keeping it accurate when things move.
- Contractors. Sourcing, briefing and coordinating suppliers — technical, staging, transport and everything in between. Including the urgent ones: a piano that needs tuning tonight, a supplier who cancels on the morning of the concert.
- Purchasing and inventory. Procurement of what events need, and keeping track of company equipment: what we own, where it is, what condition it is in.
- People. Recruiting, onboarding and coordinating concert administrators and volunteers.



Making sure everyone knows what they are doing before the doors open.
- Coordination. Working closely with the artist manager, ensemble leads and the head office — so that artistic, operational and commercial sides of an event stay aligned.
- Reporting. Post-concert reports: what worked, what did not, what the venue was like, what to change next time. This feeds directly into how we plan the following season.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- 3-5 years' experience in event production, venue operations, touring, hospitality or a comparable operational role.
- Availability to work evenings and weekends — that is when concerts happen.
- Genuine composure under pressure. Things go wrong on the day, and the job is to fix them without the audience noticing.
- Confidence dealing with venue managers, suppliers and performers face to face.
- Strong organisation: several events running in parallel, each with its own moving parts.
- English at B2 or above.

A STRONG ADVANTAGE

- Experience in classical music, theatre, concerts or cultural venues.
- Existing relationships with Austrian venues — churches, cathedrals, theatres, historic buildings.
- Understanding of technical riders, staging and sound.
- Experience working with touring or international artists.
- Experience with Notion or similar coordination tools.
- Daily use of AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and others).

WHAT SUCCESS LOOK LIKE

- Concerts run without the head office having to intervene.




- Venue relationships that outlast a single booking — and venues that ask us back.
- A reliable network of contractors, including for the situations that cannot wait.
- Administrators and volunteers who arrive prepared and know their role.
- Schedules that hold, and problems flagged early rather than discovered late.
- Post-concert reports that genuinely improve the next event.

WHAT WE OFFER

- Complimentary access to any Red Events concert, for you and a guest.
- Work in the kind of venues most people only see from the audience: cathedrals, palaces, planetariums, historic houses.
- Work on international cultural projects.
- Regular travel across Austria — and, as the role develops, the possibility of projects beyond it.
- Direct work with international artists and world-renowned musical brands.
- Involvement in launching new concert formats, from cathedral programmes to immersive projects.
- Real ownership from day one: this is a role where what you decide on the day is what happens.
- Travel costs covered.
- A competitive per-event fee, open to review.
- An ambitious, friendly and international team across ten countries.
- Professional and career growth.

WHY RED EVENTS

We value initiative, independence and a genuine desire to keep growing. No two days are the same here: No two days are the same here: today you are inspecting a cathedral in Vienna, tomorrow you are briefing admins for a premiere in Graz, and a week later you are solving a supplier problem two hours before doors open in Linz.

If you want to see your work in a full hall and a concert that ran exactly as it should have — we'd love to meet you.
