About XL Event Lab

XL Event Lab is an international live events company producing a portfolio of successful touring entertainment experiences across multiple markets.

Over the past decade we've launched, grown and operated events across the UK, Europe and North America, delivering millions of customer experiences through a diverse portfolio of live entertainment brands.

As we continue to expand across the United States, we're looking for an exceptional Head of Live Events to establish and grow our presence across Washington State.

This is an opportunity to join an ambitious, established events company at an exciting stage of growth. You'll work closely with our Senior Management Team while taking ownership of one of our newest regions, playing a key role in its long-term success.

The Role

This is a varied, hands-on role that combines venue partnerships, event operations and regional leadership.

Initially, your priority will be identifying, securing and contracting the venues that will allow our touring events to establish a successful presence across Washington State. You'll research opportunities, build relationships with venue partners, negotiate commercial agreements and oversee the venue procurement process from beginning to end.

As activity increases, your role will naturally evolve. You'll oversee the successful delivery of events within your territory, recruit and develop a local team, build relationships with key stakeholders and take day-to-day responsibility for the continued growth and performance of your region.

No two weeks will look exactly the same.

Some days you'll be researching new opportunities and visiting venues. Others you'll be negotiating contracts, reviewing event schedules, solving operational challenges or supporting live event delivery.

This is not a role for someone who prefers sitting behind a desk waiting for instructions.

We're looking for someone who enjoys taking ownership, is comfortable making decisions and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves to get things done.
