About The Position

Fever is seeking to build a new team of Strategic Event Operations Managers to lead the design and execution of their most complex and high-impact events globally.

In this role, you will work from early-stage definition to final execution, owning the full operational strategy of each project. This is a highly autonomous role for individuals who thrive in ambiguity, take ownership, and are comfortable building structure where none exists.
