The role

We're not hiring an event coordinator. We're hiring someone who thinks in experiences.

Acquia is rebuilding how we show up in the world — moving away from transactional events and conference booths toward a global experience strategy built around bold, creative activations that earn attention, build community, and create the kind of moments people talk about long after they end. This role sits at the center of that ambition.

As Global Experience Producer, you'll own the end-to-end execution of activations that don't fit neatly into a traditional event brief. Our strategy spans multiple formats and scales — from large-format global owned events to intimate customer experiences to creative third-party activations — and we're looking for someone who can move fluidly across all of them without losing the creative thread.

If your instinct is to reach for a hotel ballroom and a registration table, this isn't the role for you. If your instinct is to ask "what's the story this experience needs to tell?" — keep reading.

What you'll do

Own activations end to end. From initial brief through on-site execution and post-event content capture, you run the full production lifecycle for a portfolio of global activations across multiple formats and markets.

Think in narratives, not logistics. Every activation you produce has a story it needs to tell and a feeling it needs to leave behind. You bring that creative lens to vendor briefs, venue selection, run-of-show documents, and on-site decisions.

Build and manage external partners. You'll work with a roster of production agencies, AV vendors, experiential creative partners, media buyers, and local activation teams across multiple markets. You know how to brief them sharply, hold them to a standard, and get the best out of them.

Drive cross-functional alignment. You'll partner closely with field marketing, customer success, sales, creative, and communications to ensure every activation is connected to a broader campaign and every attending customer has a plan built around them.

Produce content in the moment. You understand that every experience generates content, and you plan for it from day one of production — not as an afterthought.

Manage budgets with operator-level precision. You track spend across a complex multi-event portfolio, negotiate with vendors, and find creative ways to do more with the budget available.

What we're looking for

You think like a creative director and operate like a producer. The best experience producers hold both — the big picture vision and the 6am venue call. You're comfortable at either end.

You have 5+ years of event and experience production. You've run activations across multiple formats and scales. You know what it actually takes to pull something off.

Agency experience is a strong plus. If you've worked in experiential, integrated, or brand experience agencies, you've built the muscle for fast-moving, high-variety production work — and you know how to brief and manage external creative partners because you've been one.

You're globally minded. You've produced activations across multiple countries, understand the logistical and cultural nuances of international production, and are comfortable working across time zones as a default.

You have a strong point of view on what makes an experience memorable. You can articulate why a particular venue, format, or creative choice is right — not just that it fits the brief, but that it earns a story.

You're a sharp communicator. You write a crisp brief, run a tight debrief, and can translate a big creative idea into a production plan a vendor can execute.

You move fast without losing quality. Timelines compress. Venues fall through. Talent cancels. You solve problems calmly, creatively, and without drama.

What success looks like in year one

• You've owned end-to-end production of activations across at least three different formats and scales.
• Every activation you produce has a documented content output — a film, a social moment, a case study, or a report.
• The teams you partner with say working with you made their events better, not just smoother.
• You've built a vendor roster and agency relationships that give Acquia production capabilities we didn't have before.
• You've brought at least one genuinely new idea to the experience strategy that gets adopted.

Why this role, why now

Acquia is in the middle of a meaningful shift in how we build brand and community — moving away from transactional event marketing toward experiences that earn stories, build trust, and create moments people talk about long after they end. This role is a ground-floor seat in that transformation, on a team that has genuine organizational support and the creative ambition to do something different.

You'll work alongside a senior brand and experience leadership team, have direct access to executive stakeholders, and be trusted to make real creative and production decisions — not just execute someone else's checklist.

We are an organization that embraces innovation and the potential of AI to enhance our processes and improve our work. We are always looking for individuals who are open to learning new technologies and collaborating with AI tools to achieve our goals.
