• You are well-versed in the event industry and have some experience with technology, sound, and lighting
• You manage teams of varying sizes (depending on the project) and actively drive things forward
• You maintain an overview of individual project requirements, milestones, and goals, ensure smooth communication, and keep track of all timelines at all times
• You will draft presentations, proposals, and cost estimates; manage budget planning for ongoing projects; and prepare final reports and evaluations
