Account Executive, Exhibits, Las Vegas

/

Emerge XP is partnering with an established exhibit and event marketing partner to hire an Account Executive who can build relationships, develop new business opportunities, and support clients through the full lifecycle of their exhibit programs. This role is built for someone who knows how to turn conversations into opportunity. The Account Executive will be responsible for developing new client relationships, expanding assigned accounts, supporting proposals and presentations, and working closely with internal teams to move projects from early discovery through execution. The right fit brings strong follow through, polished communication, and the ability to manage both the client relationship and the details behind the work. This is a client facing sales role, but it also requires someone who understands budgets, timelines, internal coordination, profitability, and the level of service required in the exhibit industry. Why This Role This is a strong opportunity for a sales minded exhibit professional who wants visibility, variety, and room to grow. The work spans custom exhibits, rental programs, modular and portable displays, branded environments, corporate and special events, showroom and retail environments, and I&D services. You will be close to the client, close to the internal team, and close to the details that shape the final outcome. For someone who enjoys building business, strengthening accounts, and staying involved beyond the initial sale, this role offers the opportunity to make a direct impact in one of the most active trade show markets in the country.

Estimator, Exhibits, Orlando

/

We are partnering with an established exhibit and branded environment firm to hire an experienced Estimator for its Orlando based team. This is a key role inside the production process for the person who helps determine what a project will take, how it should be built, where costs need to be protected, and how the team can move forward with confidence. The ideal candidate understands the exhibit industry from the inside and how an estimate supports the build. They can read drawings, ask the right questions, challenge assumptions, work across departments, and bring clarity to projects that are often moving fast and changing quickly. This role requires strong technical understanding, sharp cost awareness, and the ability to communicate clearly with sales, project management, design, production, logistics, vendors, and leadership. It is a strong fit for someone who enjoys the details, understands how custom exhibit work comes together, and takes pride in helping a team price work accurately before it reaches production. Why This Role Strong estimating shapes how confidently a team can sell, plan, build, and deliver. In this role, your work sits at the intersection of design intent, production reality, and client expectation. You’ll help turn concepts, drawings, scope, materials, labor, vendor input, and timing into estimates the team can trust. This is a strong fit for the professional who understands custom exhibit production well enough to move beyond line items and bring real judgment to the process. Someone who knows how the work comes together, communicates with confidence, and takes pride in getting the details right before the project moves forward. For an estimator who likes being close to the build and valued for their technical eye, this role offers the chance to be part of a team where the work is detailed, visible, and built with purpose.

Production Supervisor, Exhibits, Mid-Atlantic

/

Emerge XP is supporting an established organization in the exhibit, event, retail, and commercial interiors space in hiring a Production Supervisor. This is an on-site production role for someone who knows how work moves through a shop: what needs to be staged, what needs to be packed, what needs to be tracked, what can slow a job down, and what has to be handled before it becomes a problem. This role is built around presence, follow through, and sound production judgment. The work calls for someone who can stay close to the floor, understand the schedule, communicate clearly across teams, and help keep people, materials, inventory, quality, and deadlines moving in sync. A successful candidate could come from a lead role, production coordination, shop floor planning, hands on supervision, fabrication, warehouse operations, exhibit production, or another environment where timing, organization, and accountability matter every day. Why This Role This is a smart next move for someone ready to take on more ownership without being pulled away from the work itself. You’ll have a visible role in how projects move from kickoff to completion, with exposure to scheduling, labor planning, job costing, inventory, rental components, staging, returns, and cross functional coordination. It is a role for someone who likes solving the practical issues that happen between the plan and the finished job. The value here is in bringing order to moving parts, helping the team work cleaner, and making sure production has what it needs before deadlines start closing in.
