Who You Are

\n

You are a client-obsessed leader who lives to deliver unforgettable experiences. You’re not just a producer of events; you’re a builder of relationships and a guardian of the client’s vision. You thrive on being the main point of contact — the trusted advisor who can translate a client’s dream into a flawlessly executed reality. You’re a master of juggling budgets, timelines, and people, and you do it all with a calm, confident demeanor that inspires trust.

Why This Role Matters (For You)

\n

This is your opportunity to own high-stakes projects from start to finish. You won’t be a cog in a machine; you’ll be the driving force behind major brand activations and luxury events. You’ll have the support of a world-class creative and production team and the chance to build a reputation as a go-to project leader in the events industry. If you’re ready to step up and take full ownership of the client experience, this is your moment.

\n

What You’ll Actually Do

\n

\n
• Own the client relationship: Serve as the main point of contact. Own the communication between all internal and external stakeholders.
\n
• Command the project: Lead internal teams — design, production, logistics — to deliver on time and on budget.
\n
• Translate vision to reality: Develop proposals, estimates, and presentations that capture the client’s needs and showcase our creative solutions.
\n
• Master the numbers: Manage project budgets and timelines with precision, ensuring profitability and client satisfaction.
\n
• Lead from the front: Attend and supervise on-site installations. Make critical decisions and hold the quality standard.
\n
• Own cross-departmental communication: Own communication with the client, the experiential designers, the Production team, and Operations/Warehouse. Your Project Coordinator manages the lists and logistics that keep those departments informed — you own the decisions and outcomes. Questions from supervisors, foremans, and leads come to you.

Results (What Winning Looks Like)

\n

\n
• Clients feel heard and championed. Your clients trust you completely because you understand their vision, communicate proactively, and go to bat for them when it matters.
\n
• Projects run smoothly because of you. Your teams are aligned, deadlines are respected, and surprises are rare. When things go sideways, you’re the calm in the room with a plan.
\n
• Quality is never an afterthought. Every project you deliver reflects our standard of design excellence. You care about the final product as much as the client does.
\n
• Relationships outlast the project. Clients come back not just because the work was great, but because working with you was great.

Requirements (What You’ve Already Mastered)

\n
• 3+ years of event project management: Proven track record of managing complex events from concept to completion.
\n
• Client relationship ownership: Exceptional interpersonal skills and a natural ability to build rapport with high-end clients.
\n
• Financial acumen: Comfortable managing six-figure budgets with a strong understanding of project profitability.

This Role Is NOT For You If…

\n

\n
• You don’t enjoy being the main point of contact for clients.
\n
• You’re not comfortable having difficult conversations about budgets and timelines.
\n
• You prefer to manage from a distance rather than being hands-on at installations.
\n
• You don’t have a deep desire to deliver an exceptional client experience, every single time.
