We’re looking for the ability to lead project teams to produce award-winning creative solutions in the arena of business experiences including large-scale business meetings and events.

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, entertainment, and pre/post-event communication.

    This person is also a key individual contributor to overall results by delivering compelling solutions for new business proposals. Superb communication, business acumen, and collaboration skills are required since the Experience Designer works with the Sales/Marketing and Experience teams to understand assignments, develop a strategic response and then subsequently manage a team of internal and external resources to meet project goals by providing direction and monitoring progress.
