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.
