About Smooth
Smooth Media is the talent management company for knowledge creators — the people teaching, explaining, and breaking down the world through smart, insightful content. We serve as a true strategic partner to our creators — an extension of their team that helps them run, grow, and professionalize their business.
About the Role
Reports to: COO
A big part of how we help creators grow is bringing their ideas and communities into the real world. Knowledge creators connect smart, curious people every day online; IRL events take that connection deeper and are some of the most powerful experiences our creators offer their audiences.
As Events Producer, you'll build and execute creator-driven events end-to-end. You'll take high-potential concepts and turn them into polished, repeatable, memorable experiences, owning the full ecosystem of production, partners, vendors, and logistics. This role is for someone who loves dreaming big and operating with precision in equal measure.
What You’ll Do: Own end-to-end production, taking events from concept to onsite execution
Collaborate with creators to develop formats and turn their ideas into polished, repeatable event IP
Lead programming, run-of-show, venue selection, guest experience, and overall production quality
Manage external partners, vendors, freelancers, and production teams to deliver high-caliber events
Partner with Brand Partnerships on sponsorships, integrations, and creator-led activations
What We’re Looking For:
5 years producing events ideally at a media company, conference business, or summit/tentpole programming; ideally somewhere with multi-stakeholder sponsor obligations and a culture of operational rigor
A strong track record producing professional, creative, or community-driven events
You’re great with people you can work directly with creators, talent teams, vendors, and brand partners and keep everyone aligned without breaking a sweat
You’re organized and get things done tight timelines, accounted-for details, and moving pieces under control is just how your brain works
You bring real creative instincts you understand what makes event programming stand out and how to make it happen (you won't do this alone, but the instinct matters)
You know how to manage partners vendors, freelancers, production crews; you can delegate, review work, give clear direction, and keep standards high
Based in NYC or open to being in NYC (our team is in-office Mon-Thurs)

Salary range: $110,000-$140,000
