Senior Experiential Producer (Parental Leave Cover)

SENIOR EXPERIENTIAL PRODUCER (PARENTAL LEAVE COVER)

THE MAVERICK MAKER OF UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCES

ABOUT TABOO

From the earliest age, we’re taught to follow bad rules. Colour inside the lines. Act your age. Don’t be weird.

The marketing world has its own bad rules — pointless processes, outdated customs, limiting conventions.

TABOO wasn’t born from that world. We broke the rules that didn’t serve us or our clients — and reimagined the rest. That’s what set us apart. Our work felt different because our approach was different. People noticed. Culture cared. And our clients did to.

Twenty-five years on, we’re still proving that doing it wrong is the only way to get it right.

We’re an independent collective of rule-breakers, risk-takers and cultural shapers — and we’re looking for someone who speaks our language.

THE ROLE

TABOO is on the hunt for a Senior Experiential Producer who knows how to bring bold, ambitious ideas to life. You’ll be steering a portfolio of experiential projects—from small activations to large-scale events, including a key part of a major global sporting event. Your role is to turn big ideas into seamless executions, owning production from start to finish.

That means managing budgets, locking in suppliers, handling logistics, and ensuring every event runs like a dream. You’ll be across every detail—sourcing the best suppliers, creating rock-solid schedules, tracking costs, assessing risks, and keeping clients informed. Your expertise will shape creative concepts from the start, making sure they’re feasible, on budget, and delivered to perfection.

You’ll also be a leader—mentoring junior producers as the team evolves, guiding them through the wild world of production,



and helping them grow. Collaboration is key; you’ll work closely with our creative, design, and account teams, ensuring production elevates every idea. And when things don’t go to plan? You’ll be the one who stays calm, finds a solution, and keeps things moving.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

- Lead medium to large-scale experiential projects across a variety of clients.

- Work with the creative department to refine and finalise concepts with innovation and excellence.

- Own end-to-end production—from pre-production planning through to live execution and post-event wrap-ups.

keeping everything on track, on time, and on budget.

- Report to the Executive Experiential Producer for overall project status and any key concerns.
