Senior Event Producer

About the role

The Oatly Department of Mind Control (ODMC) is seeking an Sr. Event Producer to join our Experiential Team in North America. This role offers the perfect blend of creativity, logistics, and hands-on work. As an Event Producer, you're the go-to person for turning event concepts into reality. Your primary focus will be on the physical build, logistics, and production aspects for trade shows, sampling activities, and other brand activations.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end event strategy, aligning with brand and creative goals.
• Manage large scale budgets, negotiate with suppliers, and ensure accurate inventory tracking.
• Serve as the key contact for agencies and exhibitor houses, providing updates and executional milestones.
• Identify new areas for opportunities within cross-functional teams, showcasing the brand with purpose, distinction, and showcasing best-in-class activations.
• Lead development and tracking of long & short-term plans against each project.
• Maintain a keen eye on aesthetics and functionality during the physical build, ensuring everything aligns with the overall plan.
• Lead identification, hiring, and training of any on-site support, when necessary (local Brand Ambassadors, Mixologists, or other professional needs).
• Logistical planning and onsite support for other areas outside of trade-specific: mobile touring, pop-ups, HQ support, and other experiential needs that arise.
• Collaborate with event management, addressing potential problems as they arise.
• Manage individual budgets while aligning with the manager to stay within targets.
• Serve as a point of contact for teams when multiple individuals are involved in a project, ensuring synergy, collaboration, and connectivity.
• Able to measure project performance to identify areas for improvement.
• Travel required for the set-up, execution, and dismantling of identified events (travel dependent upon trade season ~30%).

Requirements

• At least 5+ years of documented experience working within the trade industry, or other event executional roles, where you gained practical knowledge of event logistics and physical build.
• Ability to source cultural partners and/or vendors to identify unique, can-not-miss opportunities.
• Ability to seamlessly transition from office planning to on-site execution.
• Print production knowledge: You will be in charge of ordering marketing material, signage, merch, and other event assets.
• Working knowledge of Monday, Bynder, and Google Suite is a plus.
• Experience in working within CPG, understanding organizational structure and connectivity of activations to support broader business initiatives.

Qualifications

• You feel connected to our mission of encouraging health, sustainability, and transparency.
• You are a self-starter who doesn’t need direct supervision to motivate you for success – we believe strongly in building a culture of individual accountability and ownership and need partners that can embrace that mentality.
• You are ready to make your mark in a smaller, growing brand leveraging your experience to deliver amazing results and build an outstanding company.
• You have an entrepreneurial spirit in that you’re comfortable with ambiguity and are energized by the process of building something lasting from the ground up.
• You enjoy sharing your quirkiness and talents with your coworkers.

Benefits

• Flexible vacation (take it when you need it)
• Great benefits (yes, pet insurance is in there)
• Paid volunteer days off throughout the year (doing good is fun)
• Free six packs of oatmilk
