EVENT DIRECTOR - POSSIBLE

Hyve Group Ltd • Miami, FL

17d • Hybrid

About The Position

Hyve is seeking a commercially minded, highly capable Event Director to lead the integrated performance and end-to-end delivery of POSSIBLE Miami. This senior general-management role is accountable for revenue, profitability, audience growth, customer experience, operational execution and cross-functional team performance. The Event Director builds on an established, fast-growing flagship event by aligning specialist leaders, translating strategic direction into disciplined execution, strengthening the commercial engine and scaling a premium experience while preserving the brand’s distinctive identity and human connections.

The Event Director leads through an experienced team with established functional ownership. Functional leaders retain responsibility for their disciplines, teams, expertise and execution; the Event Director sets shared priorities, resolves trade-offs, ensures delivery and is accountable for the combined result. The role works closely with the Chairman, Hyve’s shared-service teams, sponsors and other partners, and supports improvements that deepen POSSIBLE’s relevance beyond its annual Miami event.

Requirements

• Proven senior leadership of a large, complex, commercially successful B2B event, media platform, community business or comparable experience-led enterprise.
• Demonstrated ownership of multi-million-dollar revenue plans and P&L performance, with strong financial judgment and forecasting discipline.
• Exceptional ability to lead experienced functional specialists through influence, clarity, trust and accountability, without micromanaging.
• Strong commercial instinct and comfort engaging senior enterprise sponsors, marketers, agencies and partners; able to support major deals without becoming the sole salesperson.
• Outstanding cross-functional project leadership, operational rigor and composure in high-pressure live-event environments.
• Genuine curiosity about marketing, advertising, media, technology, AI, creativity and the creator economy, and understanding of what matters to senior brand decision-makers.
• Customer-first judgment, premium-product sensibility and appreciation of curation, experience and meaningful human connection.
• Entrepreneurial energy with mature leadership; able to improve and scale an established proposition rather than needing to create a new one.
• Low ego, high ownership, excellent communication and strong partnership instincts; comfortable collaborating with a visible Founder/Chairman and within a wider group.
• Ability to use data and insight to drive decisions while retaining sound judgment and attention to detail.

Responsibilities

• Lead the annual Miami business and delivery cycle across sales, marketing, audience development, content, hosted meetings, partnerships, operations and customer experience.
• Set priorities and provide decision-making, cross-functional alignment and accountability for the senior leadership team; coach and empower functional owners.
• Own the integrated master plan, critical path, operating cadence, milestone reviews, risk register and escalation process, and drive timely decisions across overlapping event cycles.
• Build a high-trust, collaborative and performance-oriented culture with clear ownership, constructive challenge and strong communication across POSSIBLE and Hyve.
• Own delivery of the Miami event P&L, revenue, contribution or margin and agreed commercial KPIs; maintain budgets, forecasts, cost controls and timely reporting.
• Lead integrated commercial planning across sponsorship, exhibition, premium experiences, hosted meetings and delegate ticketing, working through the respective sales and marketing leaders.
• Challenge pipeline assumptions, conversion rates, pricing, yield, inventory and renewal strategies; support selected high-value negotiations and complex partner opportunities.
• Ensure sponsorship propositions are commercially compelling and provide measurable partner value without compromising audience trust or experience quality.
• Protect and grow the quality of POSSIBLE’s senior audience, particularly brand marketers, C-suite decision-makers, creators, agencies, platforms and solution providers.
• Oversee POSSIBLE Connect and hosted-buyer recruitment, matching, participant experience and sponsor return on investment with functional program leads.
• Coordinate audience acquisition, segmentation, registration, retention and customer communications into a coherent, data-informed customer journey.
• Support initiatives that deepen engagement before, during and after Miami and reinforce POSSIBLE’s relevance beyond the event dates.
• Ensure content, executive forums, innovation, networking, brand activations, hosted meetings and hospitality combine into a thoughtfully curated experience.
• Work with content and experience leaders to improve program architecture, audience flow, stage scheduling, attendee value and the balance between inspiration and commercial connection.
• Champion operational excellence across venue, suppliers, registration, onsite service, accessibility, safety, contingency planning and post-event evaluation.
• Use customer feedback, performance data and market insight to prioritize focused improvements and test new formats within agreed strategic and brand parameters.
• Own day-to-day business relationships and delivery alignment for key sponsors, collaborators, agencies, industry organizations and service partners, working with relevant functional leaders.
• Build credibility with senior marketing and industry executives and represent POSSIBLE in important client and partner conversations.
• Coordinate with the Chairman on founder-led relationships, strategic opportunities, advisory boards, flagship content direction and broader positioning, and turn agreed opportunities into executable plans.
• Partner with Hyve’s finance, people, legal, data and shared-service teams to deliver robust governance, efficient operations and clear reporting.
• Track shifts in marketing, advertising, AI, technology, media, commerce and culture, and translate relevant customer needs into practical improvements to the Miami product.
• Capture lessons and reusable operating practices that support collaboration with POSSIBLE Europe and other approved platform initiatives while maintaining accountability for Miami.
• Lead structured post-event reviews and turn learning into measurable improvements for the next cycle.
