About The Position

The Event Production Coordinator is a hands-on production role for someone building a career in experiential and event production. You will work alongside our Producers and Executive Producers on the day-to-day production of large-scale activations, brand experiences, and live events — supporting pre-production planning, vendor coordination, on-site execution, and project wrap. This is a field-facing role. You will be on-site at our events, traveling with the team, and learning the craft of producing experiential work at scale. Over time, this position is the launchpad to running productions yourself — growing into a Producer role with the team’s full support as you build the skills, relationships, and track record to take ownership of projects.
