Account Executive Jobs in Utah

About In The Event

In The Event is Utah’s premier full-service event production company. We don’t just plan events — we bring experiences to life. From concept and design to décor, florals, A/V production, lighting, custom displays, and full-scale event execution, our team creates unforgettable experiences for clients across Utah and beyond.

No event is too big or too small. Whether we are producing an intimate corporate gathering or a 5,000-person experience with full production, we bring creativity, precision, and passion to every detail.

We are looking for an experienced Account Executive who can step in and help lead some of our most exciting and complex events. This is a role for someone who has successfully managed large-scale events, understands production, and knows how to turn a client’s vision into a flawless experience.

The Opportunity

Our Account Executives are creative problem-solvers, relationship builders, and experienced event professionals. You will work directly with high-end clients and manage events that include full A/V production, décor, catering, florals, sponsorship activations, exhibitor booths, custom builds, and more.

The ideal candidate has 5+ years of professional event management experience, including hands-on production experience. We are looking for someone who can walk through the door, understand the pace and expectations of our industry, and confidently manage complex events from concept to completion.

This role is not designed for someone whose primary experience is planning personal celebrations, weddings for friends and family, or small-scale events. We are seeking a seasoned professional who has managed large, professionally produced events.
