Production Coordinator

Rock The House is a nationally recognized Live Event production group working at the intersection of cutting‑edge technology and immersive entertainment. We create experiences that hit differently, significantly, and dramatically. Through our full suite of services: Production, Experiential, Rental, Talent, and Installation , we produce corporate conferences for Fortune 500 brands, festivals seen by millions, the nation's most significant gatherings, and exclusive social events. The events we are part of outlast the keynote, the setlist, or the moment itself. Our niche is where stakes run high and the margin for error sits at zero. Cleveland-based with a global portfolio. Rooted in Midwest grit. Ready to go wherever our clients take us. About the Role The Production Coordinator is part of the logistics hub of our production organization — a team that touches every event RTH produces. As one member of that team, your core areas of involvement are event logistics (trucking, travel, and staffing), cross‑rental sourcing and management, and department reporting — designing, maintaining, and running the reports the production team relies on. You'll work shoulder to shoulder with production admins, staffing coordinators, and project managers to get shows out the door, and to make sure our teams are always supported. This is a detail‑heavy, fast‑moving role for someone who loves making complicated logistics look easy — and who wants to do it as part of a team, not on an island.
