Staff Manager

Kinetic Events Staffing is hiring Event Team Leads / Staff Managers for a large-scale conference in Nashville, Tennessee, taking place Sunday, February 15 – Sunday, February 22, 2026.

Our Team Leads will oversee 15–20 event staff across multiple zones and floors at Music City Center (201 Rep. John Lewis Way S, Nashville, TN 37203). This is a hands-on leadership role in a high-volume environment, supporting attendee and exhibitor registration, info desks, merchandise sales, badge scanning, and other core event operations.

We’re seeking experienced event professionals—particularly those with event production, operations, or people-management backgrounds—who can lead confidently on the floor, troubleshoot in real time, and keep teams running smoothly under pressure.
