Event Project Manager

The Opportunity

The Event Project Manager is responsible for managing the complex lifecycle of AV production and creative design projects for our clients' most important events.

This person will work with clients across the Tech, Finance, Pharma, and Non-Profit spaces, serving as the face of Meeting Tomorrow throughout the event execution process. You aren't just managing tasks; you are a consultant and a brand steward for our clients’ most vital internal and client-facing events, leading the information flow across all parties. This role is highly detailed, task-oriented, and requires the executive presence to guide stakeholders throughout the whole process, ultimately ensuring the clients' vision for AV production and creative design becomes reality.

This role requires frequent to moderate onsite travel (approximately 20-30%, or 4-5 days per month).

What You'll Own

• Audiovisual Event Project Planning: You’ll lead numerous events throughout the year, managing project scope, timelines, and budgets. You’ll guide clients through the project lifecycle, coaching them on AV Production best practices for in-person and hybrid events to ensure the execution exceeds their vision.

• Client Relationship Building: You don’t just manage events but you build genuine connections. You’ll get to know our clients on a personal level (interests, family, life events) and bring a level of enthusiasm that drives credibility and repeat business.
• Creative Deliverables Management: You’ll act as the bridge between clients and creative teams (designers, editors). You’ll manage logistics with vendors (decor, print, custom fabrication), maintain asset trackers, manage POs, and negotiate terms to be a true steward of the client’s budget.
• On-Site Leadership: You’ll travel (approx. 20-30%) to be the face of MT, preparing onsite staff in partnership with Production Managers to execute flawlessly while maintaining high energy in fast-paced event environments.
