Job Description

Program/Event Director

Once a year, the most respected CEOs and C-level executives in a city walk into a room and are celebrated for what they have built.You are the reason that room exists.This is not an events job in the way most people mean it. You lead two Titan 100 markets end to end. You own the community, the revenue, the relationships and the experience itself. When an executive in your market says "I want to be a Titan," that reputation was built by you.

The role

The Event Director is the central force behind growth, visibility, revenue and execution across an entire market ecosystem. You are the forward-facing ambassador of TitanCEO, the strategic leader and the hands-on operator. You build the community, you sell into it, you deliver for it, and you personally own the outcome.

Program Leadership & Execution

• Own every facet of the Titan 100 program in your markets, from nominations through the awards experience
• Keep timelines, budgets and strategic objectives aligned and on track
• Prioritize sharply and deliver on commitments without needing to be chased
• Hold a high bar for detail and excellence across every initiative

Growth & Business Development

• Identify, prospect and close sponsorship and partnership opportunities
• Own the pipeline and achieve annual sponsorship revenue goals
• Build long term relationships with sponsors and the broader business community that renew year after year
• Track lead generation, ROI and market performance, and adjust strategy to sustain growth

Relationship Management & Communication

• Lead, mentor and inspire your Program Manager and Program Coordinator
• Build and manage nomination and judging committees that raise the caliber of the applicant pool
• Cultivate current, future and past Titans so they stay valued, engaged and connected long after the award
• Communicate with clarity across every level, escalate early and bring solutions with the problem

Events, Marketing & Community Engagement

• Partner with your Program Manager to deliver every Titan 100 event seamlessly and on brand
• Secure venues and manage logistics on schedule and on budget
• Oversee video shoots, award ceremonies and community events
• Run organic marketing that drives engagement, renewals and sponsor visibility
• Maintain a strong, visible presence in your market and on LinkedIn

Who thrives here

You have built something before and felt real ownership over whether it worked. You are equally comfortable closing a five figure sponsorship and walking a venue at 6am to check sightlines. You move fast, decide with incomplete information and follow through without being asked twice.You genuinely like people. Not networking, people. The best Directors here build relationships that outlast the program.If you want to plan events without owning revenue, or you would rather manage a process than build a market, this is not the role. Say that now and save us both time.

What you bring

• 7+ years across program management, business development, marketing or event leadership, with real community building experience
• A track record closing sponsorships or partnerships and growing revenue
• Experience leading and mentoring a small team toward ambitious goals
• Comfort in the room with senior executives, holding your own and earning trust
• Strong organizational range, managing multiple priorities, budgets and deadlines at once
• Sharp written and verbal communication
• Fluency with CRM and project tools such as HubSpot, Asana, Salesforce and LinkedIn
• An entrepreneurial wiring that gets energized, not exhausted, by a fast growing company

What you get

Total compensation of $100,000 to $150,000, structured as base salary plus uncapped performance commission. Your market performance moves your number.Beyond the comp: you will personally build relationships with the most accomplished executives in your markets, year after year. There is no faster way to build a network of that caliber anywhere in business. Directors who do this role well leave with a rolodex most people spend a career trying to assemble.
