Job description

Invisible Hand is looking for an Executive Producer to join our rapidly growing agency. Our team’s mission is to use culture, the network effect, and live experiences to meet our client’s goals. Our client roster includes Spotify, PBS, Emerson Collective, Omidyar Network, Equality Federation, and many more.

You are a self-starter, motivated by learning, able to work quickly, and a creative problem solver with incredibly strong communication skills and a “passion for polish.” Candidates should be comfortable working in a startup environment.

Responsibilities:

• Oversee each core function of a live event convening (i.e full day conference), including:
  • Determining skills needed for the project
  • Sourcing and hiring talent for open roles
  • Manage and contribute to editorial process and content development
  • Oversee and contribute to talent booking and relations
  • Liaise with technical production teams, owning the vision and staging for the program
  • Oversee and contribute to audience development strategy and process
  • Manage and contract external vendors (i.e. production, creative, etc.)
• As the most senior person on the team, you will own the success of the program, including client relations, timeline adherence and quality of the programming.
• Work with editorial lead to drive the programming forward, holding the team accountable to timelines and milestones.

Here's what we're looking for:

• You have at least seven years’ experience as an event producer, working on both mid size and large scale conference and retreat events.
• You possess strong project management skills; you are detail-, deadline- and solutions-oriented.
• You are proactive and don’t wait to be told what to do - you recognize where there are gaps and jump in where you’re needed, no matter the task.
• You are a born leader and can inspire the team, as well as draw a line in the sand when it’s time to let go of an idea that’s not working.
• You’re a creative thinker but are a true producer - you think and thrive in the logistics and realities of what it takes to get creative ideas executed.
• You are a curious person and a voracious consumer of culture and information.
• You exhibit professionalism and integrity, leading by example, treating people with respect, and seeking and giving constructive feedback.
• You have excellent written and oral communication skills. You are a great listener; communicate concisely and evocatively in written text; and can present to a boardroom, a small NGO, as well as the people we aim to serve.

Invisible Hand is proud to have a diverse, inclusive team. At IH, we don’t just celebrate our differences, we thrive on them. Our goal is to continue to create a workplace that fosters and champions diversity of thought, lived experience, and perspective, and we encourage people of all backgrounds to apply to join our team.
