Join the VLA Productions Team as an account manager

Are you passionate about live events, sound, lighting, and creating unforgettable experiences? VLA Productions — a leading production and AV company known for delivering top-tier live sound, lighting, and event management — is expanding, and we’re looking for talented, creative, and dedicated individuals to join our growing crew.

About the Role — Account Manager

As a VLA Account Manager, you are the bridge between our clients, venues, and production teams. You’ll manage relationships with promoters, corporate clients, festival organisers, and venue partners — ensuring every project is delivered flawlessly from concept to completion.

This is a hybrid role combining office‑based planning with hands‑on involvement at events and venues.

$100,000 – $115,000 per year plus paid overtime

Key Responsibilities

• Manage client relationships across festivals, concerts, corporate activations, and venue partners

• Oversee event and venue bookings, scheduling, and production requirements

• Scope projects, prepare accurate quotes, and build budgets based on technical needs

• Coordinate with audio, lighting, vision, staging, and rigging teams

• Attend events and venue operations to ensure smooth delivery and client satisfaction
