The focus is on creating immersive, world-class experiences that engage UHNWIs, investors, and strategic stakeholders—rather than traditional residential marketing.
- The ideal candidate will bring agency-level execution expertise or experience within large organizations, with a proven ability to deliver bespoke, detail-driven luxury events and sponsorships.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Experiential Events & Sponsorship Strategy
- Develop and execute a luxury events and sponsorship strategy aligned with brand and commercial objectives.
- Identify and manage high-value sponsorship opportunities, partnerships, and platforms that enhance brand positioning.
- Curate premium experiences targeting UHNWIs, investors, and global audiences.
2. End-to-End Event Execution (Core Focus)
- Lead the full lifecycle of events—concept, design, production, execution, and post-event analysis.
- Deliver immersive, high-touch luxury experiences including VIP events, private showcases, launches, and international roadshows.
- Oversee on-ground execution, ensuring flawless delivery and adherence to ultra-luxury standards.
3. Agency & Vendor Management
- Collaborate with top-tier event agencies, production houses, and luxury vendors to deliver best-in-class experiences.
- Drive quality, creativity, and accountability across all external partners.
- Ensure all outputs meet premium brand and experiential standards.
4. Stakeholder & Partnership Management
- Work closely with internal teams (Sales, Brand, PR, Leadership) to ensure alignment with business goals.
- Support executive-level engagements and high-profile events.
- Manage relationships with sponsors, partners, and external stakeholders to maximize value and visibility.
5. Budgeting & Performance Management
- Manage event and sponsorship budgets with a strong focus on ROI and value creation.
- Track performance metrics including engagement, lead generation, brand exposure, and event impact.
Job Requirements:
Qualifications & Experience:
- 10+ years of experience in events, with a strong focus on luxury, experiential, or high-end brand activations.

- Experience working within large organizations or leading event/creative agencies.
- Strong exposure to hospitality, luxury brands, destination marketing, or premium lifestyle sectors.
- Experience managing sponsorships, partnerships, or branded collaborations is highly preferred.
- Demonstrated experience working with high-end global brands (e.g., luxury hotels, fashion, automotive, lifestyle) is a strong advantage.
- Strong execution mindset—hands-on, proactive, and delivery-focused.
- Ability to thrive in fast-paced, high-expectation environments with multiple stakeholders.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to engage VIP clients and senior stakeholders.
- Candidates with a pure events / experiential background (not traditional residential marketing)
