About The Position

NVE Experience Agency seeks an Executive Producer to lead large-scale B2B programs from concept through execution, with a focus on corporate events and experiences. This is a hands-on role. You will own production across your full slate of projects rather than simply oversee it. Primary responsibilities include leading complex and/or large-scale B2B projects end to end, translating client briefs into clear scopes, budgets, and timelines, directing internal teams and vendor partners, and supporting the agency's new business pipeline alongside the rest of the production department. Strong relationship skills, a service mentality, and the ability to provide multiple options for solutions are essential to this role. You are equally comfortable presenting to a client's leadership team and standing on a loading dock at 5am. B2B audiences are demanding in a specific way—the room is full of customers, prospects, executives, and press, and the content is the product—so the production has to hold up under scrutiny while staying invisible. An extensive background in B2B events & experiences is required, including: Proprietary Conferences, 3rd-party conference activations (booths/meetings/offsite activations), and white-glove corporate hospitality-focused events. The successful candidate will have deep knowledge of venue and floor plan development, general session and breakout environments, expo and exhibit builds, registration and attendee flow, staging, lighting, sound and AV, scenic elements, and session timing. This role carries real accountability for the quality of the work and for the teams who deliver it.
