In this role, you will help run high-profile events at big-ticket conferences — think SXSW, Cannes, etc. — from conception to execution. You’ll ideate and create unique branded events, proprietary experiences and stunts that are fresh, unique, relevant, and drive brand affinity. You’ll steer the entire project lifecycle — event vision, concept, budgets, vendor and sponsorship negotiation, creative, execution, and promotion plans. Plus, you’ll work hand-in-hand with the marketing department to develop winning paid-media plans and coordinate promotion.
In short, this is a unique opportunity to take full ownership of events at major entertainment venues, music festivals, and entertainment hubs… all while being proud of the company you are representing.
