WHO WE ARE
We’re MAS. We are an experiential agency with an insatiable need to learn more, do more, be more, and now—we’re opening our doors to a chosen few.

WHAT THIS IS
The MAS Residency program is a 20-week tasting of our MAS special sauce — who we are, what we do, and how we do it. It's a deep dive into the experiential marketing industry, where fresh minds can immerse themselves in our world (and our clients’). During this time, residents will have the opportunity to hone and grow their skills, while also uncovering new interests and opportunities along the way. Ultimately this is a unique chance to collaborate closely with leading experts in the field, forge invaluable professional connections, actively contribute to the agency’s perspective, and depart with substantial portfolio work.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We’re not looking for coffee runners, we’re looking for cultural collaborators! Recent grads, grad students, or anyone in the event marketing industry can apply - we're looking for standout candidates ready to go above and beyond what is asked for. We want relentless learners, envelope-pushers, and creatives who are immune to ordinary thinking. You’re not just here to sit in and watch how the magic happens; you’re here to roll up your sleeves and help shape the future for the world’s most influential brands.
We are seeking an enthusiastic operations resident who is passionate about business administration and the live events industry. The ideal candidate has a keen eye for detail, a strong sense of organization, and knowledge of production and vendor management. You will have a unique opportunity to collaborate with a dynamic team that supports the agency's web of communication and operational needs. This role is perfect for someone eager to learn and contribute to a collaborative environment. While you will primarily support the Operations team, you will also work closely with all other departments in different capacities.
