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.

Production Partnership & Onsite Execution Partner with Project Manager, Technical Director, Creative team, and other internal resources.

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.
