Redefine the future of live entertainment tech — and the Performing Arts
Welcome to vivenu, the global leader in event ticketing tech and one of the world's fastest-growing live entertainment technology firms. We're transforming how people experience live events — from global icons like the Grammys and Golden Globes to major universities and world-class venues like KKL Lucerne. 
Now, we're bringing that same innovation to the performing arts — where passion, storytelling, and community converge. Whether it's a Broadway house, regional theater, or symphony hall, we empower organizers to move beyond outdated systems and reimagine what's possible in ticketing, patron data, and audience engagement.
Backed by over $65 million in funding, vivenu gives event organizers the power to own their brand experience, unlock deep audience insights, and seamlessly integrate ticketing into their digital ecosystem — all while preserving the artistry and spirit that make live performance timeless. As a Founding Account Executive - Performing Arts, you will:
  • Shape vivenu's strategy in the performing arts vertical, working closely with leadership to identify where innovation meets artistry.
  • Hunt and convert target accounts — including theaters, arts centers, orchestras, and cultural institutions.
  • Translate industry empathy into results: understand the operational realities of box offices, subscriber bases, donor management, and ticketing workflows.
  • Lead thoughtful discovery and product conversations that honor the craft while demonstrating ROI, operational ease, and transformative potential.
  • Manage multiple stakeholders across executive directors, leadership, IT, and box office teams.
  • Build and promote long-term partnerships, ensuring vivenu becomes a trusted technology partner to leading arts organizations.
  • Stay at the forefront of arts innovation — from audience development to hybrid programming and experiential design — while maintaining awareness of competitors and market trends.
What you will need to succeed in this role:
  • A Bachelor's Degree or equivalent in Business Administration, Arts Management, or a related field.
  • 5–7 years of customer-facing or sales experience, ideally in high-growth or SaaS environments.
  • Experience selling technology or enterprise solutions to performing arts organizations — or hands-on experience working within them (e.g., on Broadway, regional theater, or nonprofit arts administration).
  • Experience in digital consultancy or transformation, particularly in helping organizations adopt new technologies or optimize digital strategies.
  • Deep appreciation for the performing arts and a passion for empowering the institutions that bring them to life.
  • Exceptional communication and storytelling skills; able to connect technology to purpose.
  • A consultative, disciplined approach to sales, with strong organizational and problem-solving skills.
  • Commitment to growth through learning — from industry conferences to performing arts summits.
Why join vivenu?
Purpose Meets Performance Help cultural institutions thrive in the digital era. You'll partner with the world's most inspiring organizations — from Broadway producers to local theaters — modernizing how they reach audiences, deepen engagement, and sustain their missions through innovation.
