This role is about leading the logistical charge for our entire portfolio of events. You're not just moving boxes anymore; you're building the systems, processes, and the team that makes sure every single piece of kit, every display, and every experience gets where it needs to be, on time and on budget. Think of yourself as the conductor of a very complex, high-stakes orchestra, where a missed beat can mean a ruined show.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Departmental Logistics Budget Adherence

The overall spend on logistics for all events managed by your team versus the approved budget.

Target · Within +/- 5% variance for the overall annual budget.

If the annual logistics budget is £2M, your team's total spend should be between £1.9M and £2.1M. We'll track this closely, understanding that some variance is normal, but anything outside this range needs a clear explanation and action plan.

On-Time Event Logistics Delivery Rate

The percentage of events where all logistical elements (shipments, labour, equipment) are delivered and ready according to the agreed-upon production schedule.

Target · Achieve 95%+ on-time delivery across the event portfolio.

For a portfolio of 20 events, we'd expect no more than one event to experience significant logistical delays that impact the schedule. This means the main display arriving on time, the I&D crew starting as planned, and all necessary permits being in place.

Vendor Performance & Cost Optimisation

Evaluating the performance of our key logistics vendors (freight, GSCs, customs brokers) and driving continuous improvement in service and cost.

Target · Achieve an average vendor satisfaction score of 4.0/5.0 from internal teams and demonstrate 5-7% year-on-year cost savings through negotiation and process improvements.

After reviewing our top three freight partners, you identify one that consistently misses deadlines. You'll either work with them to improve or find a better alternative, while also negotiating better rates for high-volume lanes, saving us £50K annually.

Asset Utilisation & Damage Reduction

How effectively we're using our owned event assets (e.g., custom props, AV equipment) and minimising losses or damage during transit and on-site.

Target · Increase asset utilisation by 10% year-on-year and reduce asset damage/loss costs by 15% annually.

By optimising our storage and transport methods, you ensure our bespoke LED wall is used for 80% of eligible events, up from 70%, and that damage claims for it drop from £10K to £8.5K, saving us money on repairs and replacements.

Team Development & Leadership

The growth and effectiveness of your direct reports, including their skill development, retention, and overall team morale.

High team retention rates
positive feedback in 360-degree reviews
successful delegation to direct reports
clear succession plans for key roles
evidence of team members taking on more complex responsibilities and feeling supported in their growth. Honestly, it's about whether your team feels empowered and challenged, not just managed.

Process Innovation & Efficiency

Your ability to identify bottlenecks, introduce new processes or technologies, and improve the overall efficiency and reliability of our logistics operations.

Documented improvements in load-in/load-out times
successful implementation of new tracking software
positive feedback from Event Producers on streamlined workflows
reduction in recurring logistical issues
creation of new, standardised templates and playbooks that the whole team actually uses and finds helpful. We want to see you making things smoother, not just patching holes.

Strategic Planning & Risk Mitigation

How well you anticipate future logistical challenges (e.g., international shipping changes, new venue restrictions) and build proactive plans to address them.

Development of comprehensive contingency plans for major events
proactive communication of potential risks to leadership
successful navigation of complex international customs changes without incident
input into venue selection based on logistical feasibility
evidence of long-term planning for asset acquisition or disposal. You're thinking three steps ahead, not just reacting.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Building and Leading a High-Performing Team

You'll spend a good chunk of your day coaching your direct reports, helping them unstick tricky problems, and planning their development. You'll get a real buzz from seeing them grow and take on more responsibility, knowing you've helped shape their careers.

One of your specialists successfully manages the logistics for a complex international event entirely on their own, and you feel a huge sense of pride, knowing you mentored them through it.

Optimising Complex Operational Systems

You'll be constantly looking for ways to make our logistics processes smoother, faster, and more cost-effective. This means digging into data, reviewing workflows, and implementing new tools or strategies. The satisfaction comes from seeing a messy process become a well-oiled machine.

You implement a new inventory management system that reduces asset search time by 50% and virtually eliminates double-bookings, saving the team countless hours and preventing on-site headaches.

Seeing Direct Impact on Large-Scale Events

You'll be deeply involved in the planning and execution of our biggest and most visible events. The thrill of seeing a massive, complex experiential activation come together flawlessly, knowing your team's meticulous planning made it possible, will be a huge driver.

Standing on the show floor, watching thousands of people engage with an experience you helped bring to life, and knowing that every piece of it arrived exactly when and where it was supposed to, thanks to your team.

What frustrates people

Dealing with the 'creative vs. physics' dilemma where a brilliant design is logistically impossible or prohibitively expensive, and you have to be the bearer of bad news.
The constant battle against scope creep, where 'just one more thing' from a client or internal team can derail an entire shipping plan and budget.
Explaining the exorbitant costs of drayage or union labour to people who don't understand the event industry, feeling like you're constantly justifying unavoidable expenses.
Inheriting legacy processes or systems that are inefficient but difficult to change due to organisational inertia or lack of budget.
The pressure of managing a team through high-stress, time-sensitive situations, knowing that a single mistake can have massive ripple effects.

What this role does not give you

A predictable 9-to-5 schedule – event logistics often means early mornings, late nights, and weekend work, especially around major activations.
Complete control over all variables – you're dealing with external vendors, international customs, and unexpected weather, all of which can throw a spanner in the works.
A role purely focused on individual contribution – a significant part of your job is about building and empowering your team, not just doing everything yourself.

6Who you work with

This role directly shapes the operational efficiency and financial performance of our event delivery. You'll be responsible for optimising our logistics spend, ensuring compliance with international shipping regulations, and building a scalable logistics capability that can support our ambitious growth plans. Get it right, and we save thousands and deliver incredible experiences. Get it wrong, and we risk significant financial penalties, reputational damage, and client churn. It's truly foundational to our success.

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

Proven experience (10+ years) in event logistics, with at least 3-5 years in a leadership or managerial capacity, overseeing a team and managing significant budgets.
Demonstrable track record of successfully managing logistics for large-scale, complex events or multi-city experiential campaigns, including international components.
Expert-level proficiency with at least one major event logistics or inventory management software (e.g., Flex Rental Solutions, Sortly) and advanced project management tools (e.g., Smartsheet, Asana).
Strong financial management skills, including experience with budget forecasting, P&L reporting, and cost optimisation strategies in an events context.
A deep understanding of international shipping regulations, customs procedures, and ATA Carnet management. This isn't something you can learn on the job at this level.
Experience in strategic vendor negotiation and relationship management with freight forwarders, GSCs, and other key logistics partners.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced ERP/CRM Integration for Logistics

Siloed systems lead to inefficiencies and errors. Integrating our logistics platforms with broader ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and CRM (Customer Relationship Management) systems will provide end-to-end visibility and automate data flow, reducing manual effort and improving accuracy.

API Integrations & Data Mapping · Automated Workflow Design · Single Source of Truth Principles · Data Security & Compliance in Integrations

This month: Review our current ERP/CRM systems and identify potential integration points for logistics data.
Next quarter: Work with IT/Operations to map out the data flow for one key logistics process (e.g., order to shipment).
Month 3-6: Research potential integration tools or platforms that could bridge gaps between our current systems.
Month 6-12: Develop a business case for a specific integration project, highlighting potential time and cost savings.

Quick win: Start by identifying one manual data transfer process that could be automated between two systems you use regularly.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Regularly attend industry conferences and trade shows (e.g., Event Production Show, IMEX) to stay abreast of new technologies, vendors, and best practices in event logistics.
Participate in online forums or professional networks dedicated to event operations or supply chain management to share knowledge and learn from peers.
Undertake continuous learning in project management methodologies, financial analysis, and leadership skills through online courses or workshops.
Seek out opportunities to mentor junior logistics professionals, as teaching often reinforces your own understanding and hones your leadership skills.

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years.

Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Manager, Event Logistics is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, managing event logistics is a constant juggle. You're spinning plates with budgets, vendors, international shipping, and a whole team to lead. What if you could cut down on the grunt work and focus more on strategy and team development? AI isn't here to replace you; it's here to give you and your team superpowers.

Imagine having a smart assistant that handles the tedious, repetitive tasks that eat into your week, freeing you up to tackle the big, hairy problems and truly lead your team. For a Manager, Event Logistics, AI isn't just about personal efficiency; it's about elevating your entire team's output and making your department run like a dream. Here's a glimpse of how you'll use AI to transform your operations:

Automated Route & Schedule Optimisation

For multi-city tours or complex event rollouts, AI can analyse all venue locations, travel times, driver hours-of-service limits, and load-in windows to generate the most efficient and cost-effective transportation plan for your team. This means less time manually planning and more time ensuring flawless execution.

Predictive Budgeting Assistant

AI tools can analyse historical data from past events (drayage costs, labour hours, shipping expenses per city) to generate a highly accurate initial budget for a new event. It'll flag potential cost overruns based on venue or seasonality, giving you a powerful tool for strategic financial planning and negotiation.

Venue & Vendor Contract Analysis

Instead of your team sifting through dozens of pages, AI can rapidly scan and compare lengthy venue logistics packets, GSC manuals, and vendor contracts. It'll highlight non-standard clauses, hidden fees, and key deadlines (like early-bird pricing cutoffs), giving you a strategic advantage in negotiations and risk assessment.

Team Comms & Documentation Generator

Based on the final Run of Show and your team's project plans, AI can draft customised communication for different stakeholder groups: detailed load-in schedules for the I&D crew, shipping summaries for clients, or high-level timelines for internal executives. It also helps generate and organise critical documentation, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows Manager, Event Logistics, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 9 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Manager, Event Logistics: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.
