Live Events Producer

$100k - $145k

Precon Events

The Role in One Sentence

The Producer takes a qualified client opportunity and turns it into a compelling, executable live-event solution that the client wants to buy.

Summary

You’ll work closely with the Sales and Creative teams to turn client needs and ideas into compelling, executable live-event solutions. Your primary focus will be understanding what the client wants to accomplish, asking the right questions, developing the event approach, bringing together the right internal expertise, and translating the solution into proposals, presentations, and budgets.

In this client-facing role, you will be a partner with the production team to ensure continuity between what was envisioned and what is delivered and participating onsite as appropriate. We’re looking for someone who understands live events, enjoys working with clients, and can help turn an opportunity into an experience, with an emphasis on client leadership and solution development rather than detailed day-to-day project management.

Key Responsibilities

The Producer works across Precon to shape qualified opportunities into compelling, executable live-event solutions. Success in this role requires curiosity, creative thinking, and enough production fluency to connect a client’s goals with what Precon can bring to life. This role leads the thinking and collaboration that moves an opportunity from initial idea, then stays engaged with the production team to ensure what was envisioned is successfully delivered.

Client Discovery

  • Partner with Sales on client discovery conversations to understand objectives, audience, priorities, budget, brand, and desired outcomes.
  • Ask thoughtful questions, identify opportunities, and help clients articulate needs they may not yet know how to define.
  • Develop proposals, scopes, budgets, and presentations.
  • Respond thoughtfully to client feedback, questions, and budget considerations.

Event Solution & Experience Development

  • Translate client objectives and early ideas into compelling live-event concepts and solutions.
  • Serve as the connective voice across client, creative, technical, and production teams.
  • Help shape how staging, scenic, content, technology, branding, and the physical environment work together to create the desired audience experience.

Production Partnership & Onsite Execution

  • Partner with Project Manager, Technical Director, Creative team, and other internal resources.
  • Work with team to key milestones to ensure continuity between what was sold and what is delivered.
  • Participate onsite as appropriate, maintaining client relationships and helping solve creative, production, or experience-related challenges in real time.
  • Support post-event client conversations and identify opportunities to strengthen or expand the relationship.

Location & Travel Requirements

This is a remote position based in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, with regular in-person client meetings, site visits, and event production responsibilities. Local travel throughout the DC region and national travel are required for site visits, installations, rehearsals, and live-event execution. Flexibility to work outside standard business hours, including occasional evenings and weekends, is required based on event schedules.

Salary Range

The anticipated salary range for this position is $100,000–$145,000 annually, commensurate with experience, qualifications, and fit with Precon’s needs.

Why you will love working here

You’ll play a meaningful role in shaping standout live experiences in the nation’s capital and beyond, joining a fun, entrepreneurial team that values creativity, collaboration, accountability, and continuous learning. You’ll have the opportunity to work directly with clients, influence the solutions we bring to the table, and collaborate with talented creative, technical, sales, and production professionals to turn ideas into experiences. This is a highly visible role with the opportunity to make a direct impact on both the work we produce and the client relationships that drive Precon’s growth.

What You Bring to the Table

  • 5+ years of relevant experience in live events, experiential marketing, event production, creative event strategy, or a closely related environment, with meaningful experience working directly with clients.
  • A strong understanding of live-event production and how creative, scenic, technical, content, venue, and production considerations come together to create an effective audience experience.
  • A consultative, client-facing approach. You listen well, ask thoughtful questions, uncover what a client is really trying to accomplish, and can help turn an early or incomplete idea into a compelling solution.
  • Strong presentation and communication skills, with the confidence to recommend, explain, and sell an approach to clients and senior stakeholders.
  • Creative and strategic problem-solving skills, balanced with enough production knowledge to understand what is feasible, what it will take, and when to bring in additional expertise.
  • Working knowledge of event budgets, proposals, vendor pricing, scopes of work, and production considerations, with the ability to balance creative ambition with budget and execution realities.
  • Comfortable remaining engaged after the work is won, including participating in key production milestones and working onsite at live events as appropriate.
  • Organized and accountable, with the ability to manage opportunities and priorities without needing to personally project-manage every detail of event execution.

Preferred experience includes:

  • Experience working in a live-event production company, experiential agency, event agency, or similar client-service environment.
  • Experience contributing to event concepts, pitches, proposals, or new-business presentations.
  • Familiarity with renderings, design boards, site plans, stage/scenic concepts, room layouts, and other tools used to communicate live-event ideas.
  • Sales, business development, or account-growth experience, particularly experience, helping turn qualified opportunities into awarded work.
