An e=mc² events | productions Experience Coordinator is a talented, dynamic individual who embraces the chance to be involved in the organizational success of award-winning experiences.
Your past work experience success was founded on your attention to detail, administrative prowess, resourcefulness and initiative. Your ability to look for solutions, track countless details, figure out how to get things done, and support the project producer in planning and executing amazing projects are your keys to success as a coordinator.
You know that hard work, sheer grit, and determination are needed to get the job done. The event and production industry is not for the faint of heart! But nothing beats that feeling when the doors open, or the curtain rises, and you hear the sound of awe from guests.
Creating live experiences that matter is your passion, but you secretly love the seamless execution of them even more than the “WOW”. Details matter to you.
You anticipate the needs of others and can assess and prioritize. You believe no task is too small – you willingly do whatever is needed. You can juggle multiple projects and adapt on the fly with a smile on your face and a can-do attitude. The work is fun, the work is challenging, the work is rewarding, and the opportunities are endless.
We are producing very high profile and large budget projects across the globe and within our great nation, so a love of travel and a valid passport is important - and a second (or third or fourth) language would be a nice bonus.
You are collaborative, a team player and have a reputation of integrity, flexibility and a drive to get things done, with a smile and a high-five.
