Event Technical Producer
Event & Conference Management Team
Full Time, Hybrid (3 days/week onsite)
Boston, MA or Springfield, MA
The Opportunity
As an Event Technical Producer, you will be responsible for supporting all technical production aspects of a meeting or event.

The Team
MassMutual’s Event and Conference Management team manages all MassMutual sponsored conferences, events, and meetings from discovery through execution. Our strategy is to streamline event management, identify cost savings, and seamlessly execute MassMutual sponsored events.
The team is comprised of highly collaborative, seasoned event planning, production, and registration professionals. We expect all team members to reinforce an inclusive workplace and display the MassMutual competencies and Winning Ways. This means having strong business acumen, being resilient, using excellent communication skills, and working with agility. The ECM team works with the enterprise to support the end-to-end process of sourcing, planning, and executing the meeting/event.

Project Management: The Event Technical Producer will develop and maintain accurate project plans, timelines, and records. As the central technical resource, this role ensures that all event deliverables are on track and effectively communicates any updates to stakeholders. - On-Site Management and Execution: The producer will oversee all on-site technical production aspects during the event, ensuring that vendors, staff, and venue teams are coordinated and working together to deliver a successful event. This requires problem-solving skills and the ability to handle real-time changes or issues
- Technology and Process Improvement: In addition to managing event production, the Event Technical Producer continuously seeks ways to leverage new technology and implement process improvements. This ensures the company remains at the forefront of innovation, delivering better results for clients and enhancing the overall production efficiency.
