Sr. Director, Global Events

SR. DIRECTOR, GLOBAL EVENTS

At 5&2 Studios, events aren’t just moments, they’re extensions of the story.

From global theatrical premieres to Chosen Con to intimate fan experiences, we create gatherings that feel as personal as they are grand in scale (and yes, sometimes both at the same time). This role is responsible for bringing those moments to life at scale, across the world, with excellence, creativity, and operational precision.

We’re looking for a Sr. Director of Global Events to lead the strategy, execution, and evolution of our global events portfolio.. This role translates the broader events strategy into operational plans and an annual events calendar, aligns resources across programs, and drives portfolio performance, and cross functional excellence.

This leader will report into our Head of Consumer Products & Events and oversee a growing team of event professionals, while also playing a key role in identifying new opportunities to expand our global footprint.

This role will be based remotely, with frequent travel required.
