Live Event Executive Producer

CPG Agency is a highly regarded experiential agency with an outstanding portfolio of Fortune 500 accounts including Southwest Airlines, Ulta Beauty, Yum! Brands, Jimmy John's, and many others. We specialize in corporate communications and events, helping our clients succeed in all areas of the employee and franchisee lifecycle: recruitment, onboarding, training, recognition, and celebration. In our 40th year, CPG creates award-winning work in an environment of collaboration, strategic thinking, and growth.

We're looking for a smart, experienced, strategic business meeting Executive Producer to join our team. Our Executive Producers do more than just manage schedules, budgets, and AV vendors (those are table stakes). They become trusted advisors to our clients, understanding their business, anticipating their needs, and helping them design successful experiences that move the needle on their objectives. Our Executive Producers are responsible for the success of our largest projects, leading the project team in creating and managing all aspects of the experience.

CPG Executive Producers are typically stronger in the strategic, content and messaging aspects of the role rather than the technical facets of an event, as our projects are supported by technical directors and technical project managers. You may come from the theater world, from corporate communications, or from an events production background. Your pedigree is less important to us than your ability to sit at the table with members of the C-suite, creating an agenda from scratch or helping to craft the event's key messages. We're looking for someone with strong event design ability, excellent communication skills, and a desire to see the big picture as well as managing the details. We want someone who's worked on hundreds of business meetings and still brings a fresh take on how to execute messaging, venue branding, scenic, video, entertainment, and pre/post event communication. Strong skills in negotiation, listening, diplomacy and collaboration are a must.

The successful candidate will have 7-10+ years of experience producing large-scale events and experiential projects. Extensive experience producing internal meetings with multi-day general sessions, breakouts, and awards ceremonies preferred. This is a full-time position within the Production Services team, reporting to the Director, Agency Operations.
