VP, Production

HCEsquared

4d • Remote

About The Position

As VP, Production, you are the creative and operational force behind every way HCEsquared shows up for the dermatology community—from the energy of a packed national conference, to the focus of a regional workshop, to the polish of a virtual broadcast, to the on-demand pull of a podcast or video series. You lead an integrated production organization of three teams—Senior Event Production, Virtual Content & Events, and Digital Production—and set one unmistakable standard of quality that carries across every format and program, both CME and non-CME. Reporting to the Head of Product, you ensure that whether an HCP joins us in a ballroom, on a livestream, or through their earbuds, the experience feels unmistakably HCEsquared: expertly produced, intentionally designed, and worth coming back to. You are the leader who turns complex, multi-format production into a single, seamless ecosystem that scales without ever feeling mass-produced.
