You’ll thrive if you are: A collaborative team player. A clear communicator. A creative thinker. Someone with a sense of humor who takes the work seriously without taking themselves too seriously.

You enjoy solving problems, building relationships, traveling, and creating extraordinary experiences. You are comfortable working in a small, open-plan team environment and understand that live events sometimes require flexibility, extended hours, nights, weekends, and holidays.

This is a hands‑on event production role. Candidates must be comfortable standing, kneeling, or crouching for extended periods; working in a range of indoor and outdoor conditions; assisting with loading equipment; and lifting up to 50 pounds independently and up to 100 pounds with assistance.

At RAIOLA/Co., you’ll join a collaborative team that values creativity, craftsmanship, relationships, and exceptional execution. You’ll have the opportunity to work on dynamic events for leading brands and organizations while helping shape memorable experiences from the ground up.
