Senior Event Manager (Luxury & VIP Experiences)
About the role
This is not a logistics-only role and it is not a creative-only role. Platinum experiences are ultra-premium, highly curated, emotionally engineered environments for an elite network of partners and high-net-worth individuals. You own the arc: concept, site selection, negotiation, design, production, logistics, on-site execution, and post-event refinement. You will do that across multiple concurrent programs at different stages, in different countries, with no clean handoffs. You will operate close to senior leadership, VIP guests, executive assistants, and high-profile speakers. That means discretion is not a soft skill here, it is a job requirement.
Responsibilities
- Own full lifecycle production for Platinum experiences: ideation, site selection, negotiation, design, production, logistics, on-site execution, and post-event refinement
- Source and secure world-class global venues including luxury resorts, private estates, exclusive-use properties, and iconic destinations
- Build and manage six-figure and multi-six-figure event budgets, forecasting, reconciling, and optimizing spend without lowering the standard
- Negotiate premium vendor and venue contracts for value, exclusivity, and elevated service delivery
- Direct complex global logistics: private travel and charters, VIP transportation, luxury room blocks, curated itineraries, security coordination, and concierge services
- Curate elevated food and beverage programs, custom gifting, bespoke excursions, and concierge-level personal detail for named guests
- Serve as trusted liaison to luxury venues, premium vendors, private concierge and security partners, VIP guests, executive assistants, speakers, and senior leadership
- Lead cross-functional vendors, contractors, and internal teams on the ground with calm authority and clear direction
- Introduce unexpected design moments and secure rare, hard-to-access experiences through network and resourcefulness
- Elevate the standard year over year for repeat elite attendees who have already seen the best
Requirements
- You have personally produced multi-day, large-format premium experiences end to end. This is the non-negotiable. Small-format, single-day, or single-event work such as weddings and private parties does not translate to this role, regardless of budget size.
- 7 or more years producing luxury, celebrity-level, incentive-style, or ultra-premium events. We care more about demonstrated skill and shipped work than the exact number, but this is not an entry-level role.
- Direct experience serving VIP, executive, celebrity, or high-net-worth clientele, and a clear grasp of why that guest is different
- Global venue sourcing and contract negotiation expertise, with existing relationships in luxury hospitality
- Advanced budget ownership: six figures or more, held directly, including forecasting and reconciliation
- Ability to travel 50% or more, domestic and international, with flexibility inside event cycles
- Demonstrated endurance across sustained multi-day, high-intensity event cycles
- Proficiency with project management and financial tracking systems
Nice to Have
- Background in personal development, coaching, wellness, education, media, or high-ticket membership communities
- Experience producing international programs across multiple countries in a single cycle
- Private aviation, yacht charter, or exclusive-use property production experience
- Comfort in high-ownership environments with no clean handoffs and a small, tight-knit team
- Experience with confidential or high-profile guest environments requiring security coordination
