Qualifications:

You have a track record of successfully produced events with strong data analysis, oral and written communication skills. You thrive in a fast-paced environment and pride yourself on your flexible, detailed, analytical mindset.

The role requires a mix of business development and operational experience. Candidates need to be passionate about the entertainment/events industry. You will have to be comfortable delivering results in an ambiguous environment, being exceptionally detail-oriented while looking around corners, and thinking bigger about how we create a compelling experience.

  • 10+ years of experience in the event production industry
  • Ability to manage multiple projects at any given time and pull together multiple aspects of an event in an organized and efficient way

  • Proven experience in vendor negotiations, and in managing detailed budgets
  • Strong network of vendors and venues
