Production Coordinator
Nova Sky Stories, Boulder, CO, United States
At Nova Sky Stories , we empower artists and producers to bring awe and wonder to live audiences around the world. As the global leader in drone entertainment , we’ve been redefining live shows for over a decade—merging cutting‑edge drone technology with imaginative artistry. With a veteran team of engineers and creatives, we design and operate lightweight, small, precise, and safe drones that perform in the most demanding environments—urban centers, extreme temperatures, and high winds. The result? Sky Stories that inspire, captivate, and transform the sky into a canvas of imagination. Headquartered in the U.S. with teams across Europe and the UAE, Nova Sky Stories works with the world’s leading brands, venues, and events.
We are seeking a Production Coordinator to help drive execution across our most complex, high‑visibility U.S. productions. In this role, you’ll own the details that make shows happen—travel, ground transportation, vendor coordination, schedules, documentation, and on‑the‑ground readiness. You’ll take defined work‑streams and run with them, ensuring nothing slips and everything moves forward. You’ll primarily support large marquee productions, acting as a force multiplier for the PM team—bringing structure, speed, and consistency to high‑volume execution. When needed, you’ll also step into onsite roles for smaller or repeatable shows, gaining hands‑on production experience. This role sits at the core of our operations. Our shows only feel seamless because the backend is tight—and you’ll be a key part of making that happen. If you’re someone who thrives in fast‑paced environments, loves owning details, and wants a path toward running larger productions, this is a strong entry point with real growth.
