Street Events Assistant Manager
Apply before 10:00am on Thursday, 3rd July 2025

We are seeking to appoint a proactive and well-organised individual to the role of Assistant Event Manager, playing an integral role in coordinating the Street Events.

During the Fringe, the Street Events team manages vibrant street performance areas in the heart of the city: These spaces become the focus of the carnival atmosphere that takes over Edinburgh in August, with thousands of locals and tourists mingling to see the spectacular acts that travel from all over the world to entertain the crowds.

Reporting to the Street Events Manager, the Assistant Event Manager will take a lead on planning and organising the event production schedule, liaising with third parties including the Council, security contractors and our preferred fabrication partners. They will also manage and provide on the ground support to a team of coordinators and stewards across sites.

The Street Events team consists of the Street Events Manager, Assistant Manager, Administrator, a small team of coordinators and a team of stewards, along with a contracted security and First Aid team. The management team works closely with City of Edinburgh Council, Police Scotland and the Scottish Ambulance Service to manage the event safely.
