Job Description
Stage & Technical Performance Coordinator | USA Pavilion, Expo 2027 Belgrade
Department: Operations & Delivery
Employment Type: Fixed Term Contract
Location: Belgrade
Reporting To: Programming & Performance Manager
Compensation: $4,250 - $5,000 / month
Description
Expo 2027 Belgrade, a Bureau of International Expositions (BIE)-recognized World Expo, will take place in Belgrade, Serbia, from May 15 to August 15, 2027, under the theme “Play for Humanity – Sport and Music for All.” Bringing together more than 100 countries and millions of visitors, the Expo will serve as a global platform for cultural exchange, innovation, and international collaboration.
The USA Pavilion will be a flagship destination at Expo 2027, welcoming visitors from around the world through immersive experiences, dynamic programming, and interactive storytelling. Inspired by the Expo theme, the Pavilion will showcase American creativity, innovation, music, sport, and culture while highlighting the power of connection, collaboration, and people-to-people engagement.
The Stage & Technical Coordinator will provide essential technical support for stage operations, audiovisual (AV) setups, and equipment management at the USA Pavilion’s performance and entertainment spaces. This hands-on role involves assisting with stage builds, sound and lighting setups, and live event execution to ensure seamless performances and programming. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, proactive, and thrives in a fast-paced, team-based environment.
The nature of Expo operations requires a collaborative and flexible working environment across all areas of the USA Pavilion. While each team member will have a defined role and primary responsibilities, all staff may be required to support additional operational functions as needed to ensure the successful delivery of the Pavilion experience. This may include assistance across programming, VIP visits and protocol, cultural performances, food and beverage operations, hospitality, venue management, guest services, staffing coordination, special events, and other operational activities. Due to the live-event nature of the project, support may occasionally be required with limited notice, and all team members are expected to contribute proactively, professionally, and collaboratively to the overall success of the Pavilion.
