We are looking for a strategic leader to command the execution of all live gameday and event experiences for Sporting KC and our adjacent businesses. By fusing data-driven insights with high-level creativity, you will build an unmissable, world-class environment that drives attendance, amplifies our brand, and cements our status as the best fan experience in professional sports.

Serve as the lead producer on gamedays — managing the run of show, timing, cueing, and live production flow.
Collaborate with all internal teams to ensure all elements are aligned with brand messaging, sponsor deliverables, and fan engagement goals while maintaining Sporting Kansas City’s authenticity and storytelling integrity.
Manage relationships with vendors, production crews, entertainment talent, and other third-parties to ensure operational excellence and adherence to budget.

Serve as a creative thought leader for new in-stadium features, fan experience initiatives, and gameday innovations.
Collaborate with Major League Soccer on league-wide presentation standards, special initiatives, and national broadcast moments.
Support the presentation and production of non-matchday events hosted at our stadium or other Sporting Club properties as needed.
Foster a high-performing, collaborative team culture focused on innovation, creativity, and excellence.
Compile, analyze, and present fan experience analytics to key stakeholders, using insights to shape strategy and drive performance.

Minimum of 8+ years of experience in live event production or entertainment within a professional sports environment.
Minimum of 5 years in a leadership or supervisory role managing teams, vendors, and production budgets.
Proven experience as a show caller, stage manager, or live producer in a professional sports or entertainment venue.

Strong understanding of production elements including audio, lighting, video boards, LED systems, scripting, and run-of-show management.
Analytical mindset to inform data-driven fan experiences.
Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution in a fast-paced environment.
