About the Opportunity

We are partnered with a premium entertainment technology company on the search for its next Senior Vice President, Technology Innovation. This company designs and delivers proprietary immersive experience technology into venues operated by major entertainment partners across the Americas, and it is in the middle of its largest expansion to date.

The SVP joins the executive leadership team as the company’s technology visionary and its most senior technical voice. The role carries two mandates at once: deliver flawlessly on every venue being built today, and define what audiences will experience five years from now.

What You Will Own

A multidisciplinary organization spanning Engineering, Technology Operations, Project Management, Installation, Technical Services, Procurement, and Research & Development.

The full technical lifecycle of every partner venue: from the moment Business Development closes a deal and the partner hands over the space, through parts delivery, logistics, systems integration, video and projection, audio, motion and environmental effects, and proprietary platform systems, to commissioning and ongoing support.

The long-term technology and innovation roadmap, including next-generation formats, new immersive concepts, and the pilots that decide which ideas get built.

The relationship with global headquarters as the primary technology liaison for the Americas, aligning standards, priorities, and innovation initiatives across a global matrix organization.

• Who We Are Looking For 15+ years of progressive leadership in entertainment technology, theatrical exhibition, audiovisual engineering, systems integration, themed or location-based entertainment, or a related hardware-driven industry, including 5 to 10 years leading multidisciplinary teams across engineering, operations, project management, customer support, and technology.
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical, Software, Systems, or related) required.
• Deep technical fluency across digital projection, audio and immersive sound, show control and automation, content delivery, systems integration, premium large-format environments, and motion and environmental effects systems.
