We're looking for a high-energy, well-connected Regional Business Development Manager to own and grow CHAUVET's presence across the Northeast U.S. home to some of the most influential venues, designers, and production companies in the industry. At CHAUVET, we believe in empowering lighting professionals with dependable, high-value solutions that inspire creativity and elevate every performance.
