Location: Madrid

Salary: € Competitive

Start: ASAP

 

On behalf of a distinguished client, we are searching for an experienced Director of Hospitality & Events to take full ownership of a private members' club with integrated event facilities and hotel operations.

This is a rare opportunity for a commercially minded hospitality leader to shape unforgettable experiences while driving tangible business results.

You will hold end-to-end responsibility for both the club and its hospitality offering — ensuring every member, guest and client enjoys a flawless experience — while also owning the vision, promotion and delivery of the group's full calendar of events, brand activations and signature experiences.

Your mandate: make every occasion profitable, elevate the brand, and grow the business.

Key responsibilities:

Career Path


  • From luxury hospitality (five-star hotels, luxury residences, private members' clubs, or high-end service environments)
  • Strong commercial training with a proven track record in revenue generation, membership sales, and partnership development
  • International outlook — experience across multiple markets and cultures; fluent English essential, additional languages valued
  • PR and brand-building experience, with strong media relationships and a proven track record in premium press

 Deep Knowledge of the Madrid Market


  • Deep knowledge of the Madrid market: its premium lifestyle, gastronomy, culture, and social scene
  • Fully up to date on Madrid trends: emerging neighborhoods, luxury retail and hospitality openings, gastronomic and nightlife movements, and the evolution of the city's high-net-worth and international communities
  • Knows the "who's who" of Madrid: key players, trendsetters, institutions, and decision-makers across the business, diplomatic, and cultural spheres
  • Able to anticipate what Madrid's premium audience will demand next — and position the building ahead of the trends, not behind them

Events Strategy and Sector Mastery


  • Extensive command of events: broad experience designing, curating, and executing high-level events (cultural, gastronomic, social, corporate)
  • Able to define and lead the venue's events strategy: programming calendar, positioning, target audiences, and pricing/revenue model
  • Turns events into brand-building and member-acquisition tools, not mere occasions
  • Ensures every event reinforces the prestige and exclusivity of the building and its club

Networking and Connections


  • Exceptional networker, with an active, high-quality network across business, diplomatic, cultural, and lifestyle circles
  • Skilled at creating meaningful connections: bringing together members, brands, partners, and influencers to generate value for the club
  • A born "connector" who opens doors and facilitates introductions that strengthen the building's ecosystem
  • Comfortable building relationships with high-net-worth individuals, businesses, and institutional stakeholders

 Commercial and Business Development


  • Designs and executes strategies to grow memberships, premium space occupancy, and complementary revenues (events, F&B partnerships, sponsorships)
  • Negotiates high-value contracts and partnerships
  • Manages the P&L with an entrepreneurial, growth-oriented mindset
  • Positions the venue as a benchmark brand

Member Growth and Retention


  • Focused on expansion and development
  • Proven ability to attract, qualify, and onboard new members aligned with the club's exclusive positioning
  • Builds retention and loyalty through curated programming, personal relationships, and a sense of community
  • Turns members into ambassadors of the club
  • Uses member insight and CRM discipline to anticipate needs and reduce churn

 Service and Leadership Style


  • Elevates every touchpoint to the luxury hospitality standard
  • Physical presence and hands-on involvement: leads from the floor, not from the office
  • Regularly walks the building and oversees all daily activity — operations, events, and staff — ensuring flawless execution in real time
  • Available, visible, and accessible throughout the daily life of the building
  • Trains and guides teams that deliver anticipatory, discreet, personalized service

Personal Qualities


  • Charismatic and refined; an elegant public image for the building and its club
  • Impeccable taste and aesthetic sensibility
  • Entrepreneurial and business-oriented
  • Discreet, trustworthy, and emotionally intelligent
  • Bilingual Spanish/English (additional languages are a plus)

Key requirements:


  • A degree in Tourism, Business Administration, Hospitality Management, Marketing or a related field.
  • 7–10+ years of senior experience in hotel management, private clubs, premium hospitality or events.
  • A proven track record of organising high-end events and curated experiences.
  • A genuinely commercial mindset — you think in terms of sales, revenue and return.
  • Demonstrated fluency with budgets and P&L management.
  • Outstanding leadership, negotiation and stakeholder-management skills.
  • Full professional English and Spanish; additional languages are a plus.
