Senior Account Manager | Trade Shows & Exhibits | Remote

/

Emerge XP is partnering with an established, full-service exhibit and event organization that is looking for an experienced Senior Account Manager to lead key client relationships, grow existing business, and bring strategic thinking to trade show, exhibit, and event programs. This is a highly visible client leadership role for someone who knows how to build trust, anticipate needs, and keep both the big picture and the details moving in the right direction. You’ll work closely with clients and internal teams across creative, project management, production, operations, logistics, and other partners to turn ideas and objectives into successful programs. The right person brings strong industry experience, sound judgment, and a polished but approachable communication style. Just as important, you know how to become a trusted extension of the client’s team rather than simply manage projects from one event to the next. Why This Role This role is built for someone who knows how to strengthen client relationships, uncover growth opportunities, and keep complex programs moving with confidence. At its core, it’s about becoming a trusted partner to the client while ensuring every program is executed at a high level. You’ll have the opportunity to become deeply embedded in your clients’ trade show and event programs by understanding their brands, business priorities, annual calendars, exhibit assets, budgets, and evolving needs while helping shape strategies that strengthen their programs over time. The role also carries meaningful ownership protecting project profitability, leading cross-functional teams, and navigating the changes and challenges that come with complex live programs.

Sales Manager, Exhibits, Atlanta

Emerge XP is supporting a growing trade show and live event services organization in hiring a Sales Manager to drive new business across the exhibit, exposition, association, and corporate event markets. This role is built for a relationship driven sales professional who understands that strong event partnerships are earned through trust, clarity, follow through, and operational awareness. The right candidate will know how to open doors, lead meaningful sales conversations, build confidence with decision makers, and position a full service event partner with credibility. The focus is new business growth: identifying opportunities, developing relationships with show organizers and event leaders, responding to RFPs, presenting thoughtful solutions, and staying close enough to the work to understand what clients need before, during, and after the event. Why This Role This is a high impact sales opportunity with a company that values personal service, accountability, and hands on partnership in a market that often feels increasingly automated and transactional. For someone who is commercially sharp, relationship driven, and comfortable selling in the trade show and live event environment, this role offers the chance to help shape growth, deepen market presence, and build long term client partnerships across the Southeast and beyond.

Associate Project Manager, Exhibits, Mid-Atlantic

/

Emerge XP is supporting an established exhibit, event, and branded environments organization in hiring an Associate Project Manager. This role sits close to the work, supporting projects as they move through kickoff, planning, production, and delivery. This is a strong fit for someone who understands that project execution depends on clean documentation, timely communication, accurate order entry, organized hand offs, and steady follow through across internal teams, vendors, production, finance, and logistics. The Associate Project Manager will support senior project leadership while also taking ownership of defined project tasks and, as workload allows, independently managing smaller scale projects. The work requires someone who can keep information moving, track details without losing sight of deadlines, and help bring structure to the daily movement between planning and production. Why This Role This is a meaningful next step for a project coordinator or emerging project manager who wants more exposure to full cycle project execution within the exhibit and events space. The role offers visibility into scheduling, production documentation, vendor coordination, client sign off, shipping, logistics, purchasing, job costing, and cross functional project flow. It is a hands on coordination role for someone who values accuracy, accountability, and practical problem solving. The strongest candidate will be comfortable managing details, shifting priorities when needed, and helping the team stay aligned from kickoff through shipment.

This role requires a seller who can speak credibly about exhibitor services, material handling, logistics, labor, floor plans, venue requirements, signage, graphics, and show site execution while positioning the full value of a national event services platform. Success in this role will come from disciplined prospecting, sharp discovery, strong RFP strategy, executive level presence, and the ability to compete in a relationship driven, bid driven market.

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.

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.
