**What we are looking for**

You're a big-picture thinker with a flair for detail and a passion for creating experiences that wow. You're equally at home on the event floor, negotiating a deal, or coaching your team to success. Most importantly, you love the buzz of bringing people together and making an impact through creative, meaningful engagement.

**Ready to make your move?**
If you're driven to lead with heart, hustle, and purpose - we’d love to hear from you.

- Strong project management and campaign planning skills
- Excellent communication, stakeholder engagement, and leadership abilities
