Production Manager

We're looking for a Production Manager who can turn a client's goals into a workable event plan and bring the people and details together to deliver it. You'll own events from the first conversation through the final follow-up, joining two PMs and working closely with our principals, operations, and technical team. Your contribution will help our production management department take fuller ownership of PBP's event work as the company grows.

Are you the right applicant for this opportunity Find out by reading through the role overview below.

WHO WE ARE

Park Boulevard Productions brings creativity, technical expertise, and care to live events, broadcasts, and audiovisual system design and integration. Our work includes corporate events, panels, galas, and programs for cultural and educational institutions. We build lasting client relationships by understanding what people want to accomplish and finding thoughtful, practical ways to make it happen.

From our new Long Island City home, we're growing the connections between event production, systems design, and creative services. What we learn on a show informs what we design, and knowing a client's space helps us produce better events. You'll help carry that understanding from one project to the next.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

You'll keep the whole event in view: the client's priorities, the audience experience, the team's readiness, and the budget. Our technical specialists bring deep expertise; you bring their work together into a coordinated production.

• Lead client discovery and site visits; clarify goals, constraints, and expectations, and maintain the relationship throughout the project.
• Develop event approaches and technical plans with our specialists. Build scopes and quotes, explain options and tradeoffs, and secure client approval.
• Advance shows by coordinating schedules, crew, equipment, logistics, venues, rentals, and vendors. Keep documentation current and everyone working from the same plan.
• Manage budgets and scope changes, balancing client goals with staffing, equipment, and project profitability. Flag risks early and confirm changes before committing resources.
• Lead onsite production, liaise with the client, and resolve changing priorities with the team. Arrange clear handoffs when another team member leads execution.
• Close out events through client follow-up, cost reconciliation, and team debriefs. Carry lessons into future projects and help improve how the department works.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Experience owning live events from planning through delivery, including client communication, advancing, and onsite leadership. Roughly three or more years of relevant experience is a useful guide; the work you've owned matters most.
• The ability to translate a brief into a scope, budget, and practical plan, drawing on technical specialists where needed.
• Working knowledge of how audio, video, lighting, and broadcast or streaming come together in an event, with the judgment to identify gaps and ask the right questions.
• Strong organization across concurrent projects, including clear schedules, accurate documentation, delegation, and reliable follow-through.
• Confident, considerate communication with clients and crews. You can explain a constraint, offer a solution, and make a sound decision under pressure.

Production managers, stage managers, and project managers with relevant event experience can all bring valuable perspectives. Expertise in every technical discipline isn't expected. Corporate, cultural, educational, and broadcast experience is useful, as is familiarity with quoting and production management software.

ROOM TO GROW AND CONTRIBUTE

You'll learn PBP's services, equipment, workflows, and client relationships with support from experienced colleagues. As you settle in, there is room to take on more complex work, strengthen our processes, and share what you know. We want your interests and judgment to help shape your contribution.

HOW WE WORK TOGETHER

• Make clients and colleagues want to work with us again through care and follow-through.
• Start with the client and audience experience when choosing a solution.
• Make room for each person's individuality, ingenuity, and perspective.
• Question familiar approaches when there's a better way.
• Treat everyone with integrity and respect, including when plans change or pressure rises.

COMPENSATION, BENEFITS, AND WORKING ARRANGEMENTS

We offer an annual base salary of $75,000–$85,000, based on relevant experience, along with health insurance benefits, an employer-matching 401(k) retirement plan, flexible and generous paid time off, and training and continuing education opportunities.

This full-time role combines work from our Long Island City office with site visits, client meetings, and events across New York City. Some planning and administrative work can be done remotely, coordinated with the team and project needs. Event schedules include early starts, evenings, weekends, and occasional days of 12 hours or more; spring and fall are typically busiest. We value work-life balance and discuss workload openly, including how to balance busy periods with time away.
