Head of Venue Permanent

CoCo Group are partnered with one of the most exciting names in the UK live events & cultural venue landscape, known for transforming iconic spaces into globally recognised destinations for brands, live music and culture.

We’re searching for a commercially sharp, creatively minded Head of Venue, a true business leader with proven experience managing mixed-use venues that host both premium live music shows and high-end corporate/brand events.

This is a rare opportunity to own the commercial, operational and experiential performance of a flagship London venue, balancing strategic growth with world-class delivery, and leading a high-performing Sales, Operations and Facilities team.

What you’ll lead

• Full P&L ownership, commercial strategy and financial reporting
• High-performance leadership across sales, operations & facilities
• A mixed programming model, from live music & ticketed shows to brand activations, corporate showcases, launches and private events
• Conversion and negotiation of major multi-year, high-value deals
• Evidence-led sales & marketing strategy across both music and commercial events
• Streamlined operational excellence and world-class guest experience
• Facilities management, compliance, licensing and stakeholder relationships
• Influence on future venue launches and new space development

We’d love to speak to you if you have:

• 5+ years in a senior leadership role within a major London venue or equivalent
• Experience managing spaces with a live music and events mix (not just one or the other)
• Proven commercial impact, driving profit, negotiating major deals, owning P&L
• Strong understanding of venue operations, licensing and compliance
• The credibility to lead multidisciplinary teams with energy and focus
• Calm under pressure, commercially fearless, culturally conscious, relentlessly proactive

This is far more than a venue management role. It’s a strategic leadership position at the heart of one of the UK’s most culturally influential operators.

If you’re ready to lead the future of a high-profile London venue that sits at the intersection of live music, brand experience and culture, we want to speak to you, so apply today to be considered!
