What You’ll Do
Client Entertainment & VIP Experiences
Own the full lifecycle of executive dinners, from venue research through on-the-night delivery
Build a curated network of venues, restaurants, and private dining contacts across key US markets
Match client tier to experience, from an intimate dinner to a full activation, with the Sales team
Partner on invitee targeting to get the right guests into the right room
Create a client gifting program tailored to relationship stage and account tier
Trade Show & Event Hospitality
Design hospitality touch points at trade shows, including booth lounges and hosted happy hours
Source F&B, décor, and logistics vendors across multiple destinations at a consistent standard
Keep every touchpoint on brand, from the atmosphere down to the smallest detail
Coordinate on the logistics handoff so hospitality and operations run in sync
Budget & Vendor Management
Track spend against budget across every activation, flagging variances as they emerge
Report on ROI after each experience to sharpen the next one
Negotiate directly with venues, caterers, and suppliers to protect quality at the best price
Build vendor relationships that earn Vibe preferred rates and priority access
What You Need
3–5 years in hospitality, luxury client experience, or event production, with high-end experiences delivered end to end
A track record of designing a memorable experience from scratch — not just executing a known format well
Deep knowledge of the US private events and VIP experience landscape — dinners, activations, bespoke experiences — especially New York and Las Vegas
Experience working alongside sales or account teams on client entertainment, with the professionalism to represent Vibe with prospects and clients
Vendor negotiation skills backed by existing supplier relationships in key cities
Comfort building process from scratch rather than waiting for one to exist
Willingness to travel for key activations and dinners
Nice to Haves
Experience in B2B tech or SaaS event environments
Vendor network beyond New York and Las Vegas, in markets like Miami, Chicago, or LA
A track record of building an event series or VIP program from the ground up
