The Seattle Convention Center has retained SearchWide Global to find an accountable, resilient, relationship-first leader to serve as the new Vice President of Commercial Strategy & Sales. 

The Seattle Convention Center elevates and enhances Seattle’s global brand and reputation.

Step into the role that has a direct impact on Seattle’s meetings & conventions business, community engagement, and economic impact.
