What you'll doWe are looking for an Executive Experiences Program Manager to drive end-to-end operational excellence for our most high-profile leadership programs. This involves leading global operations for Tier-1 flagship moments like Davos, our Exec Summit at Sessions, the launch of new Executive Briefing Centers, as well as managing broader operations and budget allocation across the team. This high-visibility role sits at the intersection of product marketing, executive engagement, strategic hospitality, and B2B pipeline development. You will build and scale a world-class execution engine that delivers flawless, high-touch experiences for executive audiences. This requires someone who can move fluidly between strategic planning and hands-on execution and can zoom in and out based on the task at hand.
Responsibilities- Lead global end-to-end operational program management for flagship executive experiences (including Davos, Exec Summit at Sessions, and EBC space launches) across cross-functional internal teams and external partners.
- Build, maintain, and evolve repeatable playbooks, best practices documentation, and toolkits to scale our executive event execution engine efficiently.
- Coordinate and manage global budget planning and tracking in close partnership with accountable leads to ensure spend remains on-track.
- Own executive-ready program communications, operationalizing reporting across functions into unified, digestible status updates and leadership dashboards.
- Drive ongoing operational improvements via process innovation, automation, and the adoption of AI-powered tools to increase productivity and transform team workflows.
Who you areA sharp, organized problem-solver who is a self-starter. You bring structure, clarity, and simplicity to complex problems and focus teams with competing priorities into aligned goals and plans. You are equally comfortable presenting to C-suite executives as you are clearing tactical operational roadblocks. You design systems, tools, and AI-first workflows to structure and automate programs and processes. You don't think 1 step ahead, you think 10 steps ahead; you lead teams to structure phased milestones to achieve the intended end vision. You proactively anticipate risk and account for dependencies in plans to ensure we are planful and prepared for every foreseeable execution need in high-stakes environments.
