• Working as a part of a larger BX team to engage with our clients and maintain strong relationships and effectively communicate project updates and progress.
• Act as the main point of contact for vendors, freelancers and partners for planning and execution as required.
• Identify potential risks and challenges in project execution and proactively implement strategies to mitigate them, ensuring successful project outcomes.
• Stay up to date with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in experiential marketing, bringing innovative ideas and solutions to enhance project experiences and client satisfaction.

What We're Looking For:

• 2-4 years of relevant work experience, agency experience considered an asset. 
• Self-starter who can own, lead and complete work with limited supervision.
• Valid driver’s license.
• Strong understanding of live event production practices and processes.
• Demonstrates a positive can-do attitude that knows how to own outcomes.
