Our projects span mediums and genres to include scripted and unscripted, podcasts and music, theater and live events, publishing, and immersive experiences. We are an elite team: focused, high-trust, and relentlessly committed to mastery — not a 9-to-5 comfort zone. If you thrive in environments with radical candor, clear ownership, and big creative swings, you’ll feel at home here. POSITION SUMMARY We’re seeking a Production Manager with live theater and corporate/industrial experience to oversee the budget, scheduling, vendor coordination, risk management, and on-site execution for high-profile theatrical, music, and live events.

Audience Operations: Work with the Front of House partner to map and run audience operations, including wristband, queue, and ADA flows. Build a staffing matrix, seating plans, and signage. Technical Production Operations: Oversee technical integration with the Technical Director to approve plots/shop drawings, screen maps/media-server specs, RF plan, comms/intercom, and show control. Run Of Show: Produce and maintain run-of-show paperwork (run sheets, cue sheets, lineups); plan and enforce cue-to-cue and camera rehearsal timing with Show Caller / Stage Manager and Technical Director. Music Operations: Coordinate the Music team to source stems, cue sheets, and live vs. streaming handoff; ensure playback deliverables to A1. Safety & Compliance: Own incident command plan, egress/ADA, fire marshal coordination, insurance/permits, and emergency procedures. Weekly Production Meetings: Coordinate weekly meetings and issue decisions and action items; manage change control and escalation. Reporting: Deliver wrap reports including cost report/reconciliation, vendor evaluations, postmortem (keeps/fixes), and asset/COI archiving. TOOLS YOU’LL USE Asana, Slack, Dropbox, Microsoft Office, budgeting tools, Vectorworks, Airtable, 1Password, and comms/RF coordination tools. WHAT YOU’LL BRING Experience: 5+ years producing live theater (touring or large musicals a plus), corporate/industrial shows (ballrooms, multi-camera, LED/IMAG), and music events (proscenium, stadium, outdoor, etc.) Budgeting & Scheduling: Proven mastery of budgeting, scheduling, vendor RFPs/awards, and hotel/union house coordination Technical Production Literacy: Working literacy in rigging/power, RF planning, ADA/egress, and fire marshal compliance Management Skills: Calm, decisive leadership under live conditions; clear written artifacts (run sheets, risk plans, call sheets) Values: High integrity, proactive communication, and a bias for well-documented processes ROLE REQUIREMENTS Impeccable attention to detail, follow‑through, and written communication; you live in checklists and hit deadlines. Calm, proactive problem‑solver who keeps budget on track. PLUSES Experience working with hotels and large event spaces. Experience working in union houses (IATSE, Teamsters, etc.) and navigating labor rules, calls, and breaks. Comfort working in outdoor or non-traditional venues with weather, noise, and permitting constraints. ADDITIONAL DETAILS Work Authorization: Must be authorized to work in the U.S. If this role feels like a stretch in all the right ways, we’d love to hear from you.
