Deputy Production Manager

Ready to take the next step in your Production career at one of London's most iconic venues?

Want to join an employer recognised in The Sunday Times Best Places to Work?

At The O2, we're home to some of the biggest live shows on the planet — and we're looking for a Deputy Production Manager to help make them happen.

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone with strong technical know‑how, great communication skills and a passion for live events. If you love the buzz of show days, thrive in high‑energy environments and enjoy working flexibly (late nights, evenings, weekends), this could be your next big move.

What You'll Do 

As Deputy Production Manager, you'll play a key role in ensuring events at The O2 run safely, smoothly and spectacularly. You will:

• Support the delivery of world‑class events across the arena and our special event spaces.
• Help run the production operation, ensuring everything is safe, efficient and ready for showtime.
• Provide technical and production advice to internal teams and external partners.
• Assist with creating event plans that meet venue H&S procedures and comply with legislation.
• Act as Duty Manager for the Production department on rostered events.
• Deputise for the Production Manager and support wider departmental activities. 

What We're Looking For 

You'll succeed in this role if you bring:

• Strong understanding of rigging plots and technical show requirements.
• Experience in production or technical roles within live events, venues, theatres or festivals.
• Hands-on experience working with rigging and staging.
• Confident coordination of contractors and production teams to deliver event builds on time.
• The flexibility to work varied hours — including evenings, late nights and weekends — to support major events.

If you're collaborative, calm under pressure and excited by the idea of helping deliver unforgettable live experiences, we'd love to hear from you.

At AEG, we're passionate about creating moments that matter — for our guests, our partners and our people. When you join the Production team at The O2, you'll be part of a supportive, energised and talented group with plenty of room to grow and develop your skills. 

Where: You'll be based at The O2, Peninsula Square, London SE10 0DX.  You'll need to be able to work 5 days out of 7 on a rota, this includes working late nights for load outs/ins and weekends.
