Location: Must be US-based. Los Angeles preferred. Open to remote.
Type: Contract (Part-Time)
Department: Live Events
YOUR ROLE
Every live event we produce is a chance for someone to encounter God for the first time. The person in the back row of a church who almost didn't come. The family that drove two hours because they saw a clip online. The teenager who's been watching Johnny's videos alone in their room and finally gets to be in a room full of people who believe the same thing. You are the person who makes that moment happen, flawlessly, every single time.
As our Live Events Producer, you own the entire live event lifecycle for Johnny Chang Live, from initial outreach and venue booking through on-the-ground production and post-event wrap-up. You will plan and execute everything from local church gatherings to multi-city tours to prison ministry visits. You work directly with leadership, coordinate vendors and volunteers, and build the systems that let us scale our in-person mission globally. You are not an assistant. You are the operator who runs this arm of the ministry.
WHAT YOU'LL OWN
- Own all event and tour logistics: routing, scheduling, venue booking, travel, and accommodations for the entire team.
- Lead all pre-production for every event, including tech riders, vendor contracts, run-of-show documents, and volunteer coordination.
- Run on-site production, managing vendors, partners, AV, and volunteers to deliver a flawless attendee experience from doors-open to load-out.
- Build and maintain a global pipeline of partner churches, venues, and event contacts to keep future bookings flowing without leadership having to source them.
- Own all event-related communications (internal and external), keeping ClickUp updated with 100% clarity on every event's status, timeline, and open items.
- Manage post-event wrap-up: vendor payments, debrief notes, attendee follow-up coordination, and documentation of what worked and what didn't.
- Create and refine repeatable systems (checklists, templates, vendor databases) so every event runs at the same standard regardless of city or scale.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE (FIRST 90 DAYS)
Objective 1: Book and begin production for our entire 2026 and 2027 live event calendar.
Our current pace is roughly one weekend of live events per month. You'll have clear systems to follow from Day 1.
- Book and successfully complete at least 3 weekends of live events in your first 90 days.
- Deliver a complete pre-production package (tech rider, run-of-show, travel plan, vendor contracts) for each event at least 30 days out.
Objective 2: Build a scalable outreach pipeline for future bookings.
- Create a polished "Johnny Chang Live Event" partnership package and send it to at least 15 high-potential churches or venues.
- Generate at least 5 qualified booking conversations from that outreach by Day 90.
Objective 3: Prove operational ownership inside our systems.
- Every event you touch has a fully maintained ClickUp project with zero overdue tasks and clear status updates posted weekly.
- Successfully produce and run at least 2 live events end-to-end with no critical logistical failures.
THIS ROLE IS NOT FOR YOU IF:
- You have never produced events with 1,000+ attendees or managed multi-city tour logistics. We need someone who has done this, not someone who wants to learn.
- You don't have artifacts you can share from past events. We'll ask you to walk us through a real project board, budget, or run-of-show from work you've done. Without that, we can't move forward.
- You need to be told what to do next. This role requires you to own the entire operation and drive it forward without oversight.
- You struggle to communicate proactively across a remote team. If leadership has to chase you for updates, this won't work.
- You are not comfortable with the faith-based mission. Every event exists to help people encounter God. If that doesn't resonate with you personally, this is the wrong fit.
- You crumble under pressure. Flights get canceled, venues fall through, and gear breaks. You need to solve problems on the spot without panicking.
NON-NEGOTIABLE REQUIREMENTS
- 3+ years of verifiable experience in live event production and/or tour management.
- Proven experience managing live events with 1,000+ attendees, including multi-vendor coordination (AV, catering, security, volunteers).
- Deep knowledge of tour routing and travel logistics: flight booking, car rentals, Airbnb/lodging coordination, and budgeting for multi-city trips.
- Strong budgeting skills. You must be able to build, manage, and stay within event budgets across multiple simultaneous productions.
- Exceptional negotiation and relationship-building skills. You will represent our brand to pastors, venue managers, and partners.
- Proficiency in ClickUp (or equivalent PM tool), Google Drive, AI tools, and event management/booking software.
- Willingness and ability to travel domestically and internationally as events require.
- Must be a systems-builder who documents processes so events are repeatable at scale.
COMPENSATION
Starting pay is $3,000-$3,500/month (about one weekend of events per month).
Comp can rise quickly based on experience and bandwidth. Our goal is to find someone that can grow into a full-time role.
HOW TO APPLY
Please submit the following. If your application skips either item, or your experience is not made clear, we will politely pass over it.
1. A sample budget OR run-of-show from a past event you produced. Redactions are fine; we want to see how you structure information, not your private numbers.
2. A short screen recording (Loom or equivalent, 2 minutes max) walking us through your project management board or event tracking system for a real past or current event. Show us your tools, your structure, and how you stay on top of details.
OUR CORE VALUES
1. Keep God First - We focus on the gospel and how it can impact peoples' lives.
2. Radical Accountability - We own outcomes, not intentions. You come with solutions, not problems.
3. Move with Urgency & Discipline - We act quickly on the most impactful tasks for the business. You're not scared to make calculated decisions with incomplete information.
4. Committed to Systems & Processes - We build systems so excellence doesn't depend on individuals. We build for scale.
5. Embody Grace For Each Other - Always speak honestly and openly address issues, but remember that everything comes through grace.
Our Mission: Bring biblical clarity and daily guidance to people seeking God in a chaotic world.
