// ABOUT US – MOMENTUM WORLDWIDE
Momentum is an experiential agency with a simple belief: it’s what brands do that matters. To bring that idea to life, we help brands deeply understand their customers and launch experiences that get the world to see them in a new way.
What Are We Looking For
When you work at Momentum on the Experiential Production (XP) Team, every day is different. While you will be assigned to a particular client, we ultimately work as a collective to support the production of experiential activations across all of our clients. In addition to being exposed to multiple clients, you will work on a broad range of activations from mobile tours to major sponsorship activations to virtual experiences. Like we said, every day is different, but that’s what keeps it interesting. So, we are looking for “team players” with a strong work ethic and next level organizational skills who have the desire and ability to travel at a moment’s notice to produce events across Canada. The work isn’t always glamorous, but there is nothing like the feeling of bringing events to life, especially now!
Here’s What You’ll Do (responsibilities)
- Oversight of all client(s) events which include experiential activations and field marketing programs

- Manage contract and fee negotiations for all Production elements. Adhere to budgets and all necessary insurance and risk management requirements.
- Through actions and established standards, create a team environment that facilitates mutual respect and partnership across functions, strategic thinking, appropriate risk taking, open lines of communication between staff and managers, on-going performance feedback, professional development and adherence to agency policy.
- Facilitate agency and production specific training for team.
- Proactive in developing solutions related to operational and quality issues within the team and across other Momentum departments.
- Troubleshoot conflicts with all stakeholders. Superb crisis manager.
- Lead the development and delivery of compelling client presentations and new business presentations.
- Demonstrate working knowledge of Momentum’s core disciplines and support creative solutions in event categories. Oversee staff planning, selection, performance management, employee relations, training and related HR matters for assigned team in accordance with agency policy and procedures.
- Work closely with operational teams (Finance, HR) to achieve agency objectives.
- Set event quality standards that exceed the needs of Momentum clients.
- Ensure programs conceived by other disciplines are effective and manageable as event marketing programs.
- Participate in weekly national conference calls for event production management.
- Complete and monitor event status reports.
