ABOUT US:Ministry of Sound opened in 1991 in a disused bus garage in a forgotten corner of South London. It was the first nightclub in the UK to have a 24-hour licence, didnt serve alcohol and featured an earth-shaking sound system in a specially constructed dance box. We went on to become the worlds largest independent record company, now with Sony, and stage giant dance events, including one for over 50,000 people at the O2 during the millennium.We were pioneers in electronic music and have a history of taking risks, innovation, and colourful and creative marketing. Thirty years later we opened The Ministry, a workspace run as a members club, in a 50,000 sq. ft Victorian warehouse in SE1. The design is relaxed but functional with a bar, opening windows, an outside courtyard and plenty of space to sit, relax, work and socialise everything you wouldnt expect to find in a standard office. Theres great home cooked F&B, a state-of-the-art gym and fitness studio with daily classes, together with a cultural and business events programme.As a business we dont take ourselves too seriously, like to laugh and have fun, but we have high standards, a relentless attention to detail and the continuous improvement of our product, and we work hard as a team. We hate clich, doing things the way others do and continuously seek to differentiate our brands and products almost as a point of pride.THE ROLE:We are seeking a Talent & Event Booker to join our team at Ministry of Sound.You will be reporting to the Talent & Promotions Manager and will form an integral and pivotal part of the Club marketing & promotions team.You must have proven and demonstrable experience of delivering a strong music programme and/or a strong track record of securing high quality content for club events.You will ensure all staff within the Club team are completely joined up and effective, managing communication, briefing, and artist delivery for all ops and night-time activity, and securing feedback after events for improvement.You will assist in the strategic development and securing of talent bookings, logistics and relationship management and have full responsibility for the sourcing and management of sub-promoters, identifying with the team both need (according to projected trade) and content / partners.You will be responsible for the securing of talent content for marketing and form part of the key team marketing activity, adding to the promotions element, delivering ticket sales strategies and management with the Talent & Promotions Manager.You will have a good understanding on budgeting, forecasting and ticketing and be responsible for effectively reporting on sales and sub-promoter results, tracking the same while demonstrating trends and opportunity.You will lead the gathering of all intelligence on opposition businesses, using team resources and developing a network of information to secure data on pricing (tickets, bar), monthly talent and promotion activity, and results.You will provide monthly summaries and with the Talent Manager and Marketing Manager, lead the management of all customer engagement opportunities within the venue ensuring constant refreshing and improvement, weekly checks, and implementing change and strategy.You will proactively engage in the development of new concepts and projects, identifying opportunities in all relevant areas and assist in the management of all elements of promotion of the club.You will have a good understanding of how social media channels and an efficient website can assist in promoting and selling shows.This is an onsite role and you must be flexible with working hours, including evenings and weekends, to accommodate nightclub visits when needed.All other duties as assigned.BENEFITS:Ministry of Sound offers an excellent range of benefits to support you as you grow with the company and take part in achieving our collective mission.Health & WellnessThe Ministry membership with access to our gymFree fitness classes & wellness eventsUnlimited GP appointments24/7 Counselling and support helplineOnline health assessmentsFinancial well-beingLife assurance planStaff referral schemeAnnual company bonusSeason ticket loanCycle to work schemeEnhanced maternity and adoption leavePleasant OdditiesYour Birthday offAccess to cultural events hosted at The MinistryFamily & friends membership discountFree VIP entry to Ministry of Sound ClubDog-friendly officeFree breakfast, lunch and hot drinksHospitality rewards: an online rewards scheme with discountsfor many popular retailers40,000 PA
