COMPANY OVERVIEW

Curate Group is a dynamic events and experiences company, creating unforgettable moments that bring people together. We specialise in unique, high-quality live events from large scale festivals, immersive concerts, cultural experiences and corporate events partnering with some of the world’s most exciting brands.

One of our core brands, Lumos Experiences, is one of the most distinctive live entertainment concepts, creating atmospheric candlelit concerts that transform unexpected spaces into something genuinely magical. We're growing fast, running multiple shows per week across new cities and countries and we're looking for a highly organised event operations manager to support the ongoing running of our shows.

ROLE OVERVIEW

Lumos is growing fast, and our ability to scale depends on a consistent pipeline of the right venues in the right locations. As our Venue Bookings and Sales Manager, you'll own that pipeline end-to-end sourcing and securing high-quality venues across the UK, managing the full bookings process and ensuring every confirmed show is handed over cleanly to the teams that bring it to life.

• Confirmation and Processing: Ensure every booking is fully confirmed, documented and financially processed on time, with event pages created accurately across ticketing and social platforms.

• Venue Coordination: Liaise with venues to ensure co-hosting and visibility requirements are met, maintaining a strong working relationship from booking through to show day.

• Internal Handover: Provide timely, accurate handover of all booking details to musicians, staffing, content and ads teams with clean internal records that require minimal follow-up.

• Reporting and Pipeline Visibility: Provide regular, clear updates on booking progress, pipeline health and upcoming targets to the wider team.
