Live Event Technical Project Manager (AV & Interactive Technology)

Technical Project Manager (AV & Interactive Technology)

Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire (Some hybrid working available)

UK & International Travel

Competitive Salary + Benefits

At Response Multimedia, we don't install off-the-shelf AV systems. We create bespoke technical solutions that bring brands to life.

From custom software applications and interactive touch experiences to LED displays, immersive environments, sensor-driven activations and exhibition technology, we design, develop and deliver unique experiences tailored to every client.

While many of our projects are delivered for global pharmaceutical companies at international congresses and exhibitions, we also work across a range of industries where innovation, creativity and flawless technical delivery are essential.

We're looking for an experienced Technical Project Manager who enjoys turning ambitious ideas into reality and thrives on delivering projects that combine software, AV technology and live events.

What you'll be doing

• Managing bespoke projects from concept through to delivery.
• Working directly with clients to understand their objectives and translate ideas into technical solutions.
• Coordinating software developers, designers, AV technicians, fabricators and external suppliers.
• Managing project budgets, timelines, resources and client expectations.
• Planning and delivering installations for exhibitions, conferences and live events across the UK and internationally.
• Overseeing the development of custom software applications, interactive experiences and specialist AV systems.
• Supporting onsite installations, testing and client handovers.
• Identifying project risks and ensuring every project is delivered to the highest standard.

What we're looking for

Essential

• Previous project management experience within AV, live events, exhibitions, experiential marketing or technical production.
• Excellent communication and organisational skills.
• Ability to manage multiple concurrent projects.
• Experience managing clients and external suppliers.
• Strong commercial awareness and attention to detail.
• Full UK driving licence.
• Willingness to travel internationally.

You'll stand out if you...

• Have experience managing bespoke software development projects from concept through to deployment.
• Have delivered custom interactive engagements for exhibitions, events or visitor experiences.
• Understand the full project lifecycle, from initial design and client briefing through to development, testing, onsite installation and deployment.
• Enjoy being hands-on and getting involved with the technical build, not just managing it.
• Have a creative mindset and enjoy exploring how technology can be used to create engaging, memorable experiences.
• Enjoy solving complex technical challenges where there isn't an off-the-shelf solution.
• Are passionate about delivering innovative experiences that combine creativity with technology.

Why join Response Multimedia?

For over 25 years, we've been designing and delivering bespoke technical experiences that combine creativity with engineering.

No two projects are the same. One week you could be managing the development of a custom application for an international exhibition; the next, coordinating an immersive interactive experience using LED technology, touchscreens and sensors, before flying overseas to deliver it live.

If you're looking for a role where you'll genuinely build things that haven't been built before—and work alongside talented developers, designers and technical specialists—we'd love to hear from you.
