The OCVIBE is a 100-acre mixed-use entertainment district with multiple venues, restaurants, parks/plazas, and ongoing development. The Senior District Logistics Manager (Command Center) is the district’s operational nerve center and owner of the single source of truth for district activity—what is happening, when it happens, and how it will be executed across spaces and stakeholders. The role builds and maintains a 365-day, district-wide master calendar, anticipates and resolves conflicts, and orchestrates the planning and execution of concurrent events and operations to protect revenue, safety, and the guest experience. The manager combines program-level thinking with hands-on logistics execution, facilitating the right leaders and partners to model scenarios, decide trade-offs, and implement plans that scale OCVIBE efficiently as activity intensifies.
