About The Position

Access is seeking a Creative Manager based in the Las Vegas area. This is an in-person role that requires regular attendance at our Las Vegas office. In addition, the role may require occasional travel to visit vendors alongside the team, so comfort participating in in-person meetings and partner visits is important. As a Creative Manager at Access, you will partner with Sales and Creative teams to develop strategic, experience-driven proposals and client presentations. You will shape the creative vision for corporate events, translating client goals into environments, moments, and experiences that are both compelling and executable. This role operates in a high-volume, deadline-driven environment and requires strong organization, prioritization, and adaptability. This is not a graphic design or marketing role. It is an experiential role rooted in live events.
