DIRECTOR, MOBILE TOUR OPERATIONS + PRODUCTION

Location: Denver, Chicago or New York City

Motive is looking for a Director, Mobile Tour Operations & Production to lead and scale our national mobile tour practice. This is a senior role for someone who blends creative problem-solving, technical production expertise, and operational excellence—someone who can architect the vision, steer the logistics, and oversee the execution of high-impact touring programs across the country.

If you live at the intersection of strategy, engineering, fabrication, operations, and experiential storytelling, this is your playground.

What You’ll DoMobile Tour Strategy & Leadership

Define and drive the long-term vision, growth strategy, and SOPs for Motive’s Mobile Tour department.
Oversee the design, engineering, and fabrication of custom touring assets—from trailers and up-fitted vehicles to pop-up structures—ensuring compliance with all technical and regulatory standards.
Build complex national routing plans that consider demographics, drive times, event calendars, permitting, and on-the-ground logistics.
Manage specialized vendors and oversee maintenance, storage, and lifecycle planning for dedicated tour assets.

Production Management & Execution

Lead on-site execution across mobile programs, including install, show flow, event operations, and strike.
Plan and manage site services, power, safety considerations, and operational needs unique to mobile environments.
Oversee staffing for tours—hiring, training, and managing Tour Managers, CDL Drivers, and field staff.

Cross-Team Collaboration

Partner closely with Account, Creative, and Finance teams from kickoff through reconciliation.
Work with Creative to scout locations, shape space plans, and value-engineer concepts without compromising vision.
Lead scoping for mobile programs, translating strategic direction into tactical plans and detailed estimates.

Budgeting & Financial Stewardship

Manage budget development, approvals, and day-to-day financial oversight for six- and seven-figure programs.
Track expenditures in real time, forecast accurately, and ensure timely, precise reconciliation.
Maintain profitability while advocating for smart solutions and high production value.

Team Leadership & Development

Mentor production coordinators and associate producers, serving as a subject-matter authority in mobile tour best practices.
Foster a collaborative, solutions-focused, high-standards culture within the Brand Experience team.
Contribute to pitches, brainstorms, and broader agency initiatives.

What Success Looks Like

You are the subject-matter expert that Account, Creative, Finance, and production peers turn to first.
Your tours run smoothly, safely, and efficiently—from pre-production through reconciliation.
You elevate experiential concepts by grounding them in technical feasibility and engineering excellence.
You lead vendors confidently and manage high-stakes relationships with clarity and authority.
Your mentorship strengthens the team and creates future leaders in the production discipline.

What You Bring

8+ years in experiential production, with deep experience producing national mobile tours and complex fabrication builds.
Expertise in DOT regulations, commercial driving requirements, multi-market routing, and permitting.
Proven success managing large-scale budgets, fast-moving timelines, and complex logistics.
Ability to review and critique technical drawings, engineering plans, and electrical schematics.
Strong communication and relationship management skills, with experience navigating senior clients and sophisticated vendors.
Highly organized, detail-oriented, calm under pressure, and naturally solutions-focused.
