Director, Event Planning & Project Management – MLS

About the job

The Events & Hospitality Department leads the strategic planning and execution of Major League Soccer and Soccer United Marketing’s event portfolio, delivering hundreds of enterprise-wide events annually. The portfolio includes marquee tentpole moments such as MLS All-Star Week, MLS Cup, MLS NEXT tournaments, Leagues Cup, the Mexican National Team U.S. Tour, Concacaf competitions, MLS Rivalry Week, Michelob Ultra Campeones Cup, and additional SUM/international properties. Beyond event execution, the department drives cross-functional initiatives including B2B and hospitality programming, executive meetings, press announcements, competition events, and enterprise-level strategic projects that advance league growth, commercial performance, and brand positioning.

Position Summary

The Director, Event Planning & Project Management serves as the operational leader and process architect for the MLS/SUM event portfolio. This role is responsible for overseeing a team of Event Managers who directly lead tentpole and large-scale events, while establishing the strategic frameworks, governance models, and project management infrastructure that ensure consistent, scalable, and high-performing execution across the department.

This individual will not serve as the day-to-day producer of events such as MLS All-Star or MLS Cup, but rather as the senior leader overseeing the managers responsible for those events — providing direction, accountability, integration, and executive-level oversight.

The Director will also lead cross-functional enterprise initiatives that extend beyond individual events, ensuring alignment across departments including Commercial, Marketing, Communications, Competition, Finance, Legal, and Operations. This role requires a disciplined project management mindset, strong leadership presence, and the ability to build repeatable systems that elevate performance year over year.

Leadership & Team Development

  • Lead, manage, and develop a team of Event Managers who oversee MLS All-Star, MLS Cup, and other major properties.
  • Establish clear performance expectations, accountability structures and templates, and development plans for direct reports.
  • Serve as escalation point and strategic advisor to managers throughout planning and execution cycles.
  • Foster a culture of ownership, operational discipline, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
  • Drive succession planning and capability building within the Events team.

Portfolio Oversight & Governance

  • Provide executive-level oversight across the MLS/SUM event portfolio, ensuring alignment with league priorities, commercial objectives, and brand standards.
  • Oversee strategic planning milestones for tentpole events, ensuring managers maintain clear workback schedules, stakeholder alignment, and budget discipline.
  • Review and guide event strategy, production plans, staffing models, and execution frameworks without directly owning day-to-day production.
  • Identify portfolio-level risks, resource gaps, and interdependencies across events.
  • Standardize planning cadences and reporting structures across all major properties.

Project Management Infrastructure & Process Building

  • Design and implement scalable project management frameworks across the department, including:
  • Master planning timelines
  • Stakeholder matrices
  • RACI models
  • Budget tracking tools
  • Risk mitigation protocols
  • Post-event reporting templates
  • Establish governance structures for cross-functional initiatives, ensuring clarity of ownership, deliverables, and decision-making pathways.
  • Lead enterprise-wide planning processes for large-scale initiatives that intersect multiple departments.
  • Build documentation standards and institutional knowledge systems to improve efficiency and year-over-year performance.
  • Drive continuous improvement by evaluating post-event insights and operational data to refine processes.

Cross-Functional Enterprise Leadership

  • Lead complex cross-functional initiatives beyond event execution, ensuring alignment, accountability, and milestone delivery.
  • Ensure commercial partner activations and league initiatives are operationally integrated across all major events.

Financial & Operational Oversight
