And You? With higher education from a business, communication, or event management school, you have at least 7 years of experience within a communication, event, and/or travel agency. An experienced Account Director, or a senior Project Manager with a strong commercial drive, you know how to decipher company challenges, create lasting relationships, and defend high-value-added recommendations. You are committed to promoting the agency's DNA and expertise with conviction and enthusiasm.
