Trade Show Manager

About the role

Balanced Body is Hiring! The Trade Show Manager owns the end-to-end logistics of Balanced Body’s trade show and event presence — from booth contracting through show-day execution and post-event wrap-up. Show selection is determined by Sales & Marketing leadership; the Trade Show Manager is informed of the finalized show line-up and takes ownership of all logistics, contracting, and execution from there. Working closely with the Director of Marketing, this role oversees event contracting, booth production, freight and shipping, booth staffing, and vendor relationships to ensure every show reflects the Balanced Body brand and supports the company’s sales and marketing goals across the US, UK, and international markets. The role manages Balanced Body’s presence at approximately 20 trade shows per year, both domestic and international, and partners peer-to-peer with the BB Logistics Lead on ordering the supplies needed for each show.

The Company: Balanced Body is the world's largest designer and manufacturer of Pilates equipment, as well as a provider of high-quality Pilates and other mind-body instructor training and continuing education. We currently do business in over 100 countries, with world-renowned customer service and a serious commitment to environmentally friendly business practices.
