Director of Events Jobs

Some executive assistants want a predictable principal, a clean org chart, and a calendar that behaves. If that is you, this is not your job.

This one is for the EA who has supported a strong personality before and found it better than the alternative. A prominent Dallas single family office is hiring an Executive Assistant to support its principal, run point on his travel and calendar, and supervise a small administrative team. The office covers his interests across investments, philanthropy, the arts, and conservation, so the work goes in a lot of directions at once.

Being straight about the setting. Small office in the Park Cities, on-site, no playbook, priorities that change during the day, and feedback that comes at you directly and in the moment. The person who thrives here finds that energizing. The person who needs process and a predictable week will not last.

What you’ll own

• Travel, and this is the biggest piece of the job. Multi-leg domestic and international trips planned end to end, detailed trip folios, every segment confirmed, and real-time follow-through when something moves mid-trip, including outside business hours.
• The principal’s calendar. Detailed, accurate, and prioritized, with competing demands sorted out before they become conflicts.
• The administrative team. Supervise a small admin staff, set priorities across desks, and make sure nothing falls between people.
• Research ahead of meetings and travel. Background on people, organizations, and destinations, summarized so it is actually useful instead of a pile of links.
• Meeting preparation. Materials, briefing notes, agendas, and follow-ups tracked to closure.
• Event support for board meetings, philanthropic events, and gatherings the office hosts.
• Correspondence drafted and edited on the principal’s behalf, with a diplomatic touch.
• Expense reports and confidential files, handled accurately and quietly.

What we’re looking for

Must-haves:

• Five or more years supporting a senior executive, with real ownership of complex travel and calendar management
• A track record building multi-leg international itineraries and the documentation that goes with them
• Experience supervising or coordinating other administrative staff
• Mac and iCloud proficiency, or the ability to switch quickly. The office runs on both and getting productive fast matters.
• Strong writing and editing. You catch the typo, and you also catch the sentence that will land wrong.
• Discretion with confidential information as a habit, not a rule you follow
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience

Nice to have:

• Family office, foundation, nonprofit, arts organization, personal assistant, or professional services background

What actually predicts success here: you are low ego, no task is too small, you ask before you redesign, and when feedback comes at you directly you pivot instead of taking it personally.

The details

On-site in the Park Cities area of Dallas. Contract to hire, and the office is moving quickly. A background check is required before starting.

If you're the kind of person who gets genuinely excited about opening a door that's never been opened before — and you have the experience, the grit, and the relationships to back that up then keep reading. This might be exactly what you've been looking for.

We are partnering with a nationally recognized leader in corporate events and experiential marketing as they are growing and looking to add a Director, Business Development. This is a remote role! They help some of the world's most iconic brands bring people together in ways that matter — from executive summits and national sales meetings to immersive brand activations and product launches. The work is creative, complex, and consequential.  Their client roster spans Fortune 100 and Fortune 1000 organizations across technology, healthcare, consumer products, energy, financial services, and more.

The Opportunity

This is a pure hunter role — and we mean that in the best possible way. You won't be handed a book of existing accounts to manage. Instead, you'll have the full support of a highly capable internal team, a compelling portfolio of solutions to represent, and the freedom to build a pipeline that reflects your instincts, your network, and your ambition.

You'll be selling strategic, multi-faceted events and experience solutions to senior marketing, communications, and sales leaders at major corporations. These purchases are considered complex, high-stakes, and often require months of relationship-building, proposal development, and finalist presentations. If that energizes you rather than intimidates you, that's a good sign.

You'll represent the full range of our capabilities — strategic meetings consulting, experiential marketing, brand activations, leadership experiences, product launches, employee engagement, and more.

What You'll Be Doing

• Originating and developing new business opportunities from prospecting through close
• Identifying and engaging senior decision-makers at Fortune 100 and Fortune 1000 organizations
• Leading complex, consultative sales cycles involving multiple stakeholders and extended timelines
• Diagnosing client challenges and positioning tailored, strategic solutions — not off-the-shelf packages
• Orchestrating internal creative, production, and strategy teams to develop competitive proposals and pitches
• Representing their brand at industry events, conferences, and networking opportunities
• Managing your pipeline with discipline, maintaining CRM accuracy, and forecasting with confidence

We're Looking For

Let's be honest about what makes someone exceptional in this role. You derive genuine energy from the pursuit. You're resilient when deals slow down and you know how to keep momentum alive. You're credible with senior executives because you've earned it, not just claimed it. 

You're probably someone who:

• Finds the opportunity, you don't wait for it to find you
• Builds authentic relationships with senior stakeholders and earns trust over time
• Thinks strategically and consultatively, but always keeps the deal moving forward
• Navigates complexity — whether it's a matrixed organization or a 6-month procurement process — without losing focus
• Has 7+ years of business development experience within an events, experiential marketing, meetings, or agency environment
• A track record of generating and closing net-new business — not just managing inherited accounts
• Proven experience selling complex, multi-component solutions to Fortune 100 and Fortune 1000 companies
• Willing to travel regularly — this role requires it and rewards it

Why This Role, Why Now

They are at an exciting point in their growth, and this role is being created because they see significant market opportunities and want to capture. You'll have real support — from leadership to creative and production teams, and from a strong brand that opens doors.

We are an equal opportunity employer who values diversity. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status. We will ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodation to participate in the job application or interview process, to perform crucial job functions, and to receive other benefits and privileges of employment.
