Factory International (May 2024 – March 2025)

As part of a freelance Executive Producer role for Factory International, I held strategic oversight of the Event Management function – a newly-established team tasked with delivering a wide range of commercial, music and public realm activity at Factory International’s new home, Aviva Studios.

This role was twofold. Firstly, I worked closely with the three Event Managers, offering day-to-day oversight and direction, helping the team set and monitor objectives, refine processes and identify personal development goals. I also advised on training needs and supported the professional development of each team member.

In addition, I worked with the team and with colleagues from across the organisation to lead a strategic review of the Event Management function – mapping current processes, clarifying the scope of the role and developing clearer organisational guidance on decision-making responsibility and protocol around events including when and how Event Managers should be deployed. I worked with colleagues across the Producing team to better integrate Event Management into organisation-wide planning and developed a handover plan with clear objectives for the incoming full-time Executive Producer.
