Welcome to the first Substack edition of Experience Wanted!
If you found your way here from LinkedIn, thank you for following along. LinkedIn only has room for my top 10, so this is where the whole list lives now: every role I find, every Thursday, free in your inbox.
If you’re new around here, Experience Wanted is my curated list of interesting jobs from across the experience economy. I stick to brand-side roles (no agencies) at companies and places people actually care about, and I look well beyond the usual idea of an “events job.”
This week I found 70+ open roles. 🤯 You could be building illusions at Walt Disney Imagineering, running special events for Monster Jam, or planning events at SpaceX’s launch site in Cape Canaveral. Ferrari and Porsche are hiring for owner and track experiences, Sundance and the Apollo have big roles open, and Fanatics is hiring three people for its events team at once. And in a sign of the times, Stripe wants a head of events for its magazine.
There’s also a new section at the bottom: Experience-adjacent Opportunities. These roles aren’t events-first, but they could be a great fit for someone with the right background. This week that includes Red Bull, Delta and American Express.
If someone forwarded this to you, subscribe so it lands in your inbox every Thursday. And if we’re not connected yet, you can follow me on LinkedIn.

Heads up! For most (if not all) of these roles, I have no affiliation with the company or hiring manager. I simply compile these public postings from my network as a resource for those looking for new opportunities... and it’s a great way for me (and you!) to connect with others who work in the events and experiences industry as well. Also know that I typically only post brand-side roles vs. agencies looking to recruit.
If you spot a posting for a great role in events and experiences, feel free to send it to me for potential inclusion. And best of luck on your search! 🙏
