We are recruiting a Creator Park Manager to join a dedicated, full-time team embedded in our client’s Festival Programming function in Riyadh. The team will support two major events in Saudi Arabia: a flagship event in summer 2027 (July to August) and a further event in November 2027.
You will run the festival’s influencer zone, the Creator Park. You will decide which creators appear and when, and shape everything fans experience there, including:
- Stage schedules
- Creator line-ups
- The content calendar
- Fan experiences
- Content capture
You will recommend creators to the client and design the formats, such as showmatches, meet and greets, and community moments. You will also plan the practical set-up behind every format, from PCs and internet connectivity to filming and creator areas, and make real-time decisions on site.
This is a hands-on producing role. The grade reflects your seniority and judgement, not the size of a team you supervise. We are looking for a programmer who personally builds the creator schedules, formats, and content calendars.
Key Responsibilities
Creator Park Programming
- Programme the Creator Park, including its stages, creator schedules, content calendar, fan experience, and content capture.
- Build a line-up and schedule that keeps fans engaged throughout each event.
Creator and Talent Coordination
- Identify and recommend creators to the client, who makes the final decision and handles contracting.
- Coordinate with creators, creator organisations, and talent management teams.
Format Design
- Design formats such as showmatches, meet and greets, community moments, and content capture.
- Define the mechanics, throughput, space, and staffing needs of every format.
Operational Planning
- Plan the operational needs of the Creator Park, including hardware, software, connectivity, content capture, stages, and creator areas.
- Turn creative formats into clear technical and operational requirements.
Live Delivery and Review
- Make real-time decisions on site during the live events.
- Capture performance after each event cycle so the programme can keep improving.
Requirements
- At least 5 years of experience in creator-led programming or esports events, at Manager level.
- Experience across at least two live event seasons.
- A proven record of personally producing creator and club programming, scheduling, and live delivery. Only experience where you personally produced the work counts towards the requirement.
Ideal Background
- A creator, influencer, or esports programmer from large-scale live events.
- Established relationships with creator organisations and talent management are a strong advantage.
Languages
- Professional English is required.
- Arabic is preferred.
Working Conditions
- Full-time and exclusive: you will be dedicated to the client for the full contract term, with no other clients or projects.
- Working options: work remotely on Riyadh hours (Sunday to Thursday), with travel to Riyadh and event locations as directed, or be based at the client’s office in Riyadh.
- On site in Riyadh: you must be in Riyadh for the full operating periods of the summer 2027 event (July to August) and the November 2027 event, whichever working option you choose.
Benefits
- A competitive package for the duration of a 14-month contract, with the potential to extend by up to 3 months.
- Flexible working, with a remote option during the planning phase.
- Creative ownership of the festival’s creator and influencer programme.
- A senior, hands-on role in a dedicated specialist team embedded with a major client.
- Valuable experience on one of the region’s most high-profile live events programmes.
