Join Kargo, a leading ad tech company, as the Senior Director of Global Experiences. In this strategic leadership role, you will own and elevate Kargo's global experiential footprint, set the vision and strategy for events, manage a multi-market budget, and mentor a growing team.

• Build, mentor, and develop a high-performing experiences team, setting standards for project management rigor and creative ambition.

Requirements

• A strategic, entrepreneurial mindset paired with the willingness to be hands-on when it counts — this leader can zoom out to set direction and zoom in to solve the on-site problem no one saw coming
• A strong external network of vendors, venues, and industry partners, with sharp negotiation instincts and a bias toward value and efficiency
• Proven people leadership — experience building, managing, and developing a team, with a coaching style that raises the bar on craft and accountability
• A track record of owning strategy and budget for a significant events portfolio, with the financial acumen to build, defend, and optimize a global spend plan
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) and modern event/project management tooling
• Flexibility for evening, weekend, and travel commitments as the global calendar demands
• Executive presence and polished communication skills; comfort presenting strategy and results to senior leadership and representing the brand with clients and partners
• 7+ years of progressive experience in event marketing, experiential, or brand activations, including experience leading global or multi-region programs; ad tech, media, or B2B SaaS experience a strong plus
