The Opportunity:

The Event Project Manager is responsible for the success of our clients' most important internal and client-facing events. Our customers come to us for support with their most important events and they are the person who makes sure their vision becomes reality.

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. This role is highly detailed, task-oriented, and requires the executive presence to guide stakeholders through the complex lifecycle of AV production and creative design.

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

The Project Manager is responsible for:

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.
Communication & Decision Making: You are the client’s main point of contact and MT representative. You’ll lead the information flow between internal teams (fulfillment, creative, etc.), venues, and the client, while expertly preparing onsite staff for successful execution.
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%) 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.

What we need:

4-7+ Years of Event Industry Experience: You’ve navigated the agency or white-glove event world and have a customer-focused mindset.
Organization & Speed: You’re a fast-paced multitasker who is accountable to deadlines and finds joy in the details.
Great Communicator: You’re able to communicate clearly and effectively both verbally and in writing.
People person: You’re able to build relationships and cater your approach depending on the person you’re talking to. You’re experienced in working with different personalities and professional levels.
