WHO WE ARE:

We Crush Events is the future of events! We manage and execute hundreds of events a year for some of the top companies across the globe. These events include virtual experiences, physical in-person events and a hybrid of both as we pioneer this new form of gatherings!

Our team of kickass event professionals spans across the nation. We are looking for a seasoned events professional with a sales-driven work method to join our rapidly growing team and help us expand into brand-new markets!

WHO YOU ARE:

• You take initiative, not a backseat.
• Your attention to detail is so refined that you could find a needle in a haystack without breaking a sweat.
• You must have been a juggler in a past life because now you can multitask like a pro!
• You always want to be the first to figure “it” out - whatever it is.
• You’ve been “in events” your whole career and aren’t sure where your next opportunity for growth is, but a challenge, a risk and something refreshing lights you up.
• You will grow new corporate business for WCE by selling, then producing full scale events from start to finish.
