About the Role

The VP will build and run the operating engine behind DCAC, enabling the President to focus on industry vision, strategic relationships, major partnerships, and other high-value work. This role combines creative judgment with business discipline to build systems, manage budgets, set accountability, and develop a scalable team. The VP will transform ideas into clear plans, align staff and vendors, protect the DCAC brand and economics, and deliver events without requiring the President to manage every detail. DCAC has grown beyond a single event to include conferences, On Tour events, executive gatherings, partner activations, veteran programming, and future formats. The VP will help DCAC grow while preserving its distinct community and experience, replacing last-minute heroics with planning and repeatable execution.

Responsibilities

Lead planning and delivery of DCAC USA, DCAC Europe, On Tour, VIP programs, dinners, golf, partner activations, and special experiences from concept through closeout.
Establish the annual operating calendar, planning cadence, decision structure, documentation, approval gates, and cross-functional workflows.
Build event budgets and forecasts; manage cash flow, procurement, bids, change controls, and reconciliations; protect margins while investing where it improves the guest or sponsor experience.
Lead and develop operations and production staff, clarifying ownership, setting expectations, balancing workloads, and identifying capability gaps across employees, contractors, agencies, and local partners.
Lead sourcing, negotiation, contracting, scopes of work, schedules, venue relationships, and supplier performance across production, security, transportation, registration, catering, talent, and staffing.
Turn content vision into a workable run of show and coordinate speakers, sponsors, creative, marketing, registration, hospitality, and production across the attendee journey.
Own production readiness, safety planning, insurance and compliance coordination, contingency plans, escalation paths, and go/no-go criteria, raising risks early with recommendations.
Resolve routine operating matters independently and bring decisions to the President with context, options, financial impact, a recommendation, and a deadline.
Lead after-action reviews, financial closeout, partner and attendee feedback, vendor scorecards, and follow-through on lessons learned.

Requirements

10+ years in live events, experiential production, brand activations, conferences, entertainment, agency production, or a related field, including meaningful leadership experience.
Experience owning complex, high visibility, multi-vendor productions and multimillion-dollar or similarly complex budgets.
Strong command of budgeting, bidding, scopes of work, contracts, scheduling, staffing, production documents, and financial reconciliation.
Demonstrated ability to build operating systems and lead cross-functional teams through ambiguity, compressed timelines, and changing priorities.
Executive-level communication and judgment, including the ability to challenge ideas constructively.
Strong creative and experiential instincts.
Multi-city or international experience strongly preferred.
Familiarity with registration platforms, CRM and sponsorship workflows, project management systems, and financial tools is helpful.
Calm, direct, resourceful, accountable, and emotionally intelligent.
Commercially sharp, while protective of the attendee, partner, and team experience.
Able to move between big-picture thinking and precise execution, communicate bad news early, and thrive in an entrepreneurial environment.
