[Hiring] Strategic Account Director @Meeting Tomorrow

Role Description

We are looking for a Strategic Account Director (SAD) to aggressively expand our Event Production footprint within Fortune 5000 companies. This pure Business Development position is for a hunter who thrives on building a book of business from scratch, as this role will not get any inbound opportunities.

• You will drive our growth by targeting and securing $1M+ opportunities with brands that have multiple events throughout the year.
• You are the bridge between a client’s wildest creative vision and our technical production reality.
• You will guide a cross-functional team of Producers, Technical Directors, and Logistics experts to build multi-million dollar event programs.
• SAD’s are successful in this role when they find clients who execute multiple events throughout the year, in a variety of locations around the globe.
• This person is in front of clients all the time and can expect up to 30% of their time is traveling.

Qualifications

• Proven Track Record: You have built a book of business from the ground up and have a history of managing $10M+ in lifetime event revenue across a diverse client list.
• Agency Veteran: At least 5+ years of Event Industry experience. We prefer agency-side experience over AV-only hardware sales.
• Established Relationships: Established, high-level relationships within our target sectors (Pharma, FinServ, Tech and Consulting).
• Strategic Acumen: You know how to map a client’s business goals to a technical production reality.
• Grit & Initiative: You don't wait for instructions; you identify the target and go after it.

Requirements

• Closing Deals: This is the priority. You qualify, pitch, and close multi-million dollar event programs.
• Full-Cycle Ownership: From the first "cold" touch to negotiating contracts and ensuring the first execution is flawless.
• Pipeline Engineering: Constantly hunting for clients with global needs and high-frequency event calendars.
• Relationship Architecture: Building personal and professional bonds with top-tier meeting planners and C-suite stakeholders.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision plan options
• Employer paid STD, LTD, Life Insurance, and EAP access
• 401k with employer matching up to 4%
• 16 PTO days (increases with tenure) + 9 paid holidays
