Senior Director, Partnership Events

OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY

Fox Corporation

Under the FOX banner, we produce and distribute content through some of the world’s leading and most valued brands, including: FOX News Media, FOX Sports, FOX Entertainment, FOX Television Stations and Tubi Media Group. We empower a diverse range of creators to imagine and develop culturally significant content, while building an organization that thrives on creative ideas, operational expertise and strategic thinking.

JOB DESCRIPTION

Red Seat Ventures (RSV), a FOX company, is seeking a Sr. Director, Partnership Events to build and lead RSV's proprietary and industry events program. This individual will be responsible for conceiving, producing, and executing a series of intimate, invite-only gatherings designed to deepen relationships with advertising partners, creators, platform executives, and strategic prospects across RSV's portfolio — including its Speakeasy hosting and ad monetization platform and the Supercast podcast subscription platform. 

RSV's events philosophy centers on small, highly intentional experiences (typically 20–40 guests) where proximity and shared experience generate meaningful business relationships and deal flow — without formal pitching or overt sales. The Sr. Director, Events,  will own this program end-to-end, from strategy and guest list curation through venue selection, on-site execution, and post-event follow-through.

This individual will also be responsible for planning, booking, and executing RSV’s client and promotional initiatives at industry events such as SXSW, Podcast Movement, Ad Week, The Podcast Show - London, and the Cannes/Lion International Festival of Creativity.

A SNAPSHOT OF YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design and execute a calendar of events across key industry moments (major conferences, upfronts, tentpole cultural events) and standalone RSV-hosted occasions

• Own all aspects of event production: venue sourcing and negotiation, menu and F&B planning, vendor management, on-site logistics, budgeting, and day-of execution

• Partner with RSV's business development, sales, and content teams to develop strategic guest lists that align event attendance with active business priorities — prospective creators, advertising buyers, platform partners, and executive-level targets

• Create curated seating arrangements and programming elements (fireside chats, brief panel discussions, keynote moments) that facilitate organic relationship-building among attendees

• Source and secure distinctive, character-driven venues that reflect RSV's brand — prioritizing memorable, insider experiences over conventional hotel function rooms or conference spaces

• Develop a scalable events playbook and brand standards that allow the program to expand across markets (New York, Los Angeles, London, Austin, and beyond) while maintaining a consistent level of quality and intimacy

• Manage event budgets and vendor relationships, ensuring cost discipline while delivering a premium guest experience

• Track and report on event outcomes — relationships initiated, deals influenced, follow-up actions generated — to demonstrate the program's strategic ROI

• Collaborate with marketing on pre- and post-event communications, collateral, and social content that extend the impact of each gathering

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

• 10-12+ years of experience in high-touch event production, client hospitality, or experiential programming — ideally within financial services, talent agencies, media companies, or luxury hospitality

• A proven track record of producing intimate, executive-level gatherings where the quality of the guest experience and the intentionality of the room are paramount

• Exceptional taste and judgment in venue selection, food and beverage, and the details that distinguish a forgettable corporate event from a memorable evening

• Strong relationship skills and executive presence — comfort engaging with C-suite executives, major creators, and senior advertising buyers as a peer, not just an event coordinator

• Experience building an events function or program from the ground up, not just executing against an existing playbook

• Outstanding organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple concurrent events across different markets and time zones

• Budget management experience with a track record of delivering premium experiences within defined cost parameters

• Willingness to travel domestically and internationally for event execution and site visits

• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field

NICE TO HAVE BUT NOT A DEALBREAKER

• Existing relationships within the podcast, audio, or creator economy ecosystem

• Prior experience at a talent agency, private members' club, or luxury hospitality brand where curated client experiences were central to the business model

• Familiarity with the media and advertising conference circuit (Podcast Movement, The Podcast Show, SXSW, Cannes Lions, IAB events, etc.)

• Experience with CRM tools and post-event relationship tracking
