Production Stage Manager

Who We’re Looking For

Creatio is looking for an experienced Production Stage Manager to lead the stage production and live execution of the conference agenda at our major global conferences. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who knows how to bring complex live stage experiences together — from stage, sound, lighting, video, and technical production to speakers, rehearsals, and the live run of show. You’ll be the person who keeps all these moving parts connected and ensures the show part of the event runs smoothly from behind the scenes.
We’re open to candidates from corporate events as well as concerts, festivals, entertainment, broadcast, theater, and other large-scale live productions.
 
The role is based in Portugal.

Responsibilities

Own stage production and the run of show for Creatio’s major business conferences, ensuring smooth timing, transitions, and overall execution.
Coordinate all key production elements, including audio, lighting, video, staging, presentations, music, demos, and other live content.
Partner with technical vendors and production crews, ensuring the right setup, equipment, staffing, testing, and contingency plans are in place.
Lead rehearsals, sound and technical checks, and ensure all production elements are ready before going live.
Work hands-on with top business leaders, C-level executives, and A-list keynote speakers — guiding them through the entire performance journey, from briefings and rehearsals to backstage preparation, microphones, presentations, and stage entry.
Orchestrate backstage operations and coordinate stage assistants, speaker coordinators, technical teams, and other event staff.
Troubleshoot production issues and make fast, confident decisions during live events.
Contribute to event planning, production schedules, stage concepts, staffing plans, and vendor selection.
Help establish scalable production and stage-management standards across Creatio’s global event portfolio.
Support other event initiatives and projects beyond live stage production as part of the broader Events team.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in stage management, event production, show calling, live production, concerts, festivals, broadcast, theater, or large-scale corporate events, including delivering complex live events with multiple speakers, production teams, and technical elements.
Strong practical understanding of audio, lighting, video, staging, and presentation systems, and experience managing production vendors and technical crews from planning to live delivery — you don’t need to operate every system yourself, but you should know how they work.
Proven experience working with speakers and executives — running briefings, coordinating rehearsals, and preparing them for stage.
Ability to build and manage run-of-show plans, production schedules, and contingency scenarios.
Excellent organizational and communication skills and the ability to remain calm and decisive when things change unexpectedly.
A proactive, flexible, hands-on mindset and willingness to take ownership beyond a narrowly defined production scope.
Availability for international travel and on-site event work, including occasional evenings and weekends.
Previous experience delivering international conferences in multicultural environments.
