We're the rare team who handles all your production and event technology needs. We plan and produce in-person, hybrid, and virtual events, as well as rent equipment that brings your vision to life. Based in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood, we're a group of 100 friendly, hard-working people plus a few office dogs and a slew of beloved plants.

The Opportunity

The Event Producer leads the planning and onsite execution of our clients' most creative and complex events - the general sessions, product launches, and multi-day conferences where every cue, every transition, and every moment on stage has to land.

You'll work at the intersection of strategy and execution: a trusted advisor who understands each client's brand and business goals, and a decisive problem-solver who turns an ambitious vision into a flawless show. You'll own the production plan end to end; scope, timeline, budget, creative deliverables, and the cue-by-cue run of show while leading internal experts, vendors, and onsite crew to bring it all to life. You turn visionary concepts into flawless, high-impact reality.

This role requires frequent onsite travel (approximately 30%, or 6-7 days per month, domestic and occasionally international).

What You’ll Own:

  • Event Strategy & Concepting: Partner with internal teams to align event objectives with client goals. Drive innovation by collaborating on practical event solutions, managing budgets and timelines, and participating in pitches and site visits.

  • Client Relationships & Communication: Build trusted partnerships with stakeholders, including Fortune 1000 executives. Lead the flow of information and use executive presence to guide clients through every step of their event journey.

  • Creative & Vendor Management: Source and manage expert vendors while ensuring all creative deliverables align with brand standards. Navigate multi-million-dollar event budgets with transparency to deliver high-impact results.

  • Production Planning & Run of Show: Own the end-to-end production lifecycle, from initial scoping to execution. Build detailed technical runs of show, manage speaker rehearsals, and proactively resolve logistics to ensure a seamless experience.

  • Onsite Leadership: Serve as the primary onsite contact and decision-maker. Lead crew coordination, technical rehearsals, and executive coaching for presenters to ensure flawless execution in fast-paced environments.

What we need:

  • 5+ years of event industry experience, including 3-5 years producing large-scale corporate conferences and high-profile programs.

  • Run-of-show fluency: You have the proven ability to build cue-by-cue technical runs of show and lead rehearsals, stage management, and onsite execution.

  • Executive presence: You are skilled at navigating complex stakeholder dynamics and building trusted partnerships with Fortune 1000 executives, client teams, and vendors.

  • Budget & vendor ownership: You are comfortable scoping and tracking billable hours, sourcing and negotiating with vendors, and managing large event budgets with transparency.

  • Calm in the storm: You thrive in ambiguity, creating clear order and process where none exists, and stay steady under pressure.

  • Organized and fast: You’re a detail-obsessed multitasker who's accountable to deadlines and can juggle multiple overlapping projects.

  • A great communicator and people person: You communicate clearly in writing and in person, and you foster a culture of transparent, kind, and constructive feedback.

  • Values alignment: You demonstrate kindness, commitment, and humility in everything you do.

Nice to Have

  • Show-calling experience, on an as needed basis

  • Experience integrating AI into events, concepting entertainment, planning agendas and sessions, and designing interactive attendee engagement.

  • Experience scripting and directing the work of speechwriters, graphic designers, video editors, and other creatively technical roles.
