Commanding Collaboration: Serving as the central hub, you’ll unite a diverse network of suppliers – including advanced AV teams, intricate build partners, and critical logistics – alongside internal DO & CO teams.

Executing Under Pressure: On-site, you’ll be the decisive leader, adept at navigating real-time changes, resolving technical hurdles, and fulfilling client needs with precision during live events.
