Event Manager - 12 month FTC- Healthcare

Leatherhead, England, United Kingdom

Experience Without Limits
Come shape the future of brand experience.

At Jack Morton, we design and build head-turning, smile-inducing, impact-driving brand experiences that redefine what experiential marketing can achieve. We help our clients unlock the full value of experiences by turning bold ideas into meaningful connections.

That takes a team that's bold, curious, and acts as one. We build on each other's ideas, challenge conventions, and show up for one another every day. Here, you'll do your best work, grow quickly, and partner across clients, disciplines, and global teams to bring new ideas to life.

This is a place where curiosity drives what’s next, boldness raises the bar, and every win is shared. Where ownership is expected, egos are left at the door, and the work reflects the passion and talent of the people behind it.

Experience without limits—in your work, your growth, and your impact.

events, and brand experiences for pharmaceutical and Life Sciences clients across the UK and internationally. This role is

will ensure all programmes are executed seamlessly, compliantly, and in line with client objectives.


As part of the Client Delivery team, you will work closely with account management, creative, strategy, and production
teams to deliver high-quality events that drive client engagement. You will manage multiple projects simultaneously,
