Join the VLA Productions Team as an account manager
Are you passionate about live events, sound, lighting, and creating unforgettable experiences? VLA Productions — a leading production and AV company known for delivering top-tier live sound, lighting, and event management — is expanding, and we’re looking for talented, creative, and dedicated individuals to join our growing crew.
About the Role — Account Manager
As a VLA Account Manager, you are the bridge between our clients, venues, and production teams. You’ll manage relationships with promoters, corporate clients, festival organisers, and venue partners — ensuring every project is delivered flawlessly from concept to completion.

Key Responsibilities
- Manage client relationships across festivals, concerts, corporate activations, and venue partners
- Oversee event and venue bookings, scheduling, and production requirements
- Scope projects, prepare accurate quotes, and build budgets based on technical needs
