Freelance Event Operations Manager available for hire

An Operations Manager is the organiser who makes sure all logistics, processes and resources behind your event run smoothly. They’re the practical problem-solvers who deal with the how, while producers focus on the what.

They manage suppliers, schedules, compliance and event crew – keeping everything efficient, safe and professional.

What They Do

Operations Managers handle the nuts and bolts of event delivery. They co-ordinate transport, catering, crew logistics and venue operations. They liaise with suppliers, manage contracts, and ensure compliance with health and safety requirements.

They create and maintain operational plans, making sure everyone knows where to be, what to do, and when. Onsite, they oversee load-ins, troubleshoot logistics, and keep the event running like a well-oiled machine.

Skills They Bring

  • Organisation – detailed planning and flawless execution
  • Supplier management – co-ordinating multiple vendors
  • Problem-solving – handling last-minute logistical challenges
  • Efficiency – keeping everything on schedule and within budget

Why You Need an Operations Manager

Without an Operations Manager, the logistics of an event can quickly unravel. With one, you have someone ensuring every detail is covered, every supplier is aligned, and every process is managed.

In short: an Operations Manager keeps the whole event machine running smoothly.


Your event deserves the right people in the right places.
