WHO WE ARE //

ABOUT YOU //

Our most successful Production Assistants have the following strengths:

Positive attitude – as Production Assistant, you are helping tackle challenges as they arise, often with the client present. You help set the tone for the event and must maintain positivity during stressful situations.

Pro-active – you will generally be provided direction, however, you will also need to look around and see what needs to be done and do what you can in that moment.

Client focus – you will often interface with clients and will need to deliver on changing event dynamics with a client-focused approach.

Flexible – when producing events, no show is the same, flexibility in your role is the one constant. 

Sense of ownership – you own the details. The producer will rely on you to get things done with minimal follow-up.

Organization – did we mention details? There will be a lot of them. You will need a system to stay on top of calendars, travel, budgets, purchase orders, and our internal software.

Tech-savvy – besides knowing the basic office tools (word, excel, google drive,), you will need to learn to use our internal inventory management platform. A large portion of our value add for clients is in Audio Visual gear, and you will need to get comfortable with those terms quickly.

Passion for events – we have fun while we work because we share a passion for creating top-notch attendee-inspiring events. You’ll like working here best if you share that interest.
