About Broadwick Venues:

Broadwick Venues was born out of multi-award winning festival company Broadwick Live, acclaimed for events such as Snowbombing, Field Day, Hideout and Lost Village.

Sharing the same values as the festival division, Broadwick Venues is relentlessly committed to excellence of experience and creativity in all it does. Printworks London is its first multi-purpose cultural space (opened in 2017), showcasing world-class electronic and live music programming against a stunning industrial backdrop with pioneering production. Its for these reasons that Printworks has already been recognised as the UK’s best venue by Mixmag, London’s best club by Time Out readers, and the 14th best club in the world by DJ Mag.

About the role:

Printworks London (formerly Harmsworth Quays) was established in the docklands in 1989, and for 24 years The Evening Standard, The Daily Mail and Metro newspapers rolled off its presses. The unique site has now embraced a new lease of life, in which the former factory’s warehouses and magnificent Press Halls have been revived as ground-breaking, multi-purpose event spaces.

There is now a very exciting opportunity for a talented and ambitious individual to join Broadwick Live’s venue team as Production Manager of Printworks London and play a pivotal role in the future of this very prestigious and high profile music venue. You will have scope to manage all aspects of the production within Printworks.
