Lead the creative development of Gallagher's flagship internal events, from concept and event theming through to live production. This includes hands‑on support for event set‑up, live delivery and pack‑down.

You understand that the best visual work is grounded in audience, message, channel, and outcome. You’ll bring: A strong portfolio showcasing high‑quality graphic design and videography work. The ability to produce work with speed, accuracy, and strong attention to detail. A passion for communications, storytelling, and audience engagement. The ability to move confidently between strategy, creative concepting, design, filming, editing, and production.
