Executive Feld Entertainment Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Abstraction Media, Inc. — West Hollywood, CA On-site, Los Angeles (this role is not remote and not hybrid)

Abstraction Media is a West Hollywood-based production house creating original content for stage, film, and television. We produce large-scale international tours for a globally touring comedian whose live business spans theaters, performing arts centers, arenas, and international markets across multiple continents.

We are hiring a Director of Touring to take full ownership of our touring business: commercial strategy, ticketing performance, promoter and venue relationships, market development, and operational execution across every show on the calendar.

This is a senior live entertainment executive role. It is not a booking agent role, a routing role, or a road-based tour manager role. The person in this seat owns the business of touring so the artist can stay focused on the craft.

You will lead ticketing strategy, sales pacing, pricing, market activation, promoter negotiations, venue deals, settlements, budgets, and tour P&L. You will be the operator who knows, before anyone else does, which markets are pacing soft, which need a marketing intervention, and which need a pricing or scaling adjustment. You will sit at the table with promoters, venue executives, ticketing partners, and agency teams as a peer.

Two requirements are absolute. Applications that do not meet both will not be reviewed.

1. Based in Los Angeles, working on-site. This role is in-person at our West Hollywood office. We are not considering remote, hybrid, or relocation candidates. You must already live in the Los Angeles area or be prepared to be on-site from day one.

2. Direct experience inside a top-tier live entertainment company. You must have held a meaningful role at one of the following, or a direct equivalent:

• Live Nation
• AEG Presents
• Ticketmaster
• Nederlander
• Madison Square Garden Entertainment
• ASM Global
• Oak View Group
• Another Planet Entertainment
• Outback Presents
• Feld Entertainment
• Caesars Entertainment
• Similar companies

We are looking for someone who has lived inside the systems, relationships, and economics of major live entertainment, not someone who has worked adjacent to them.

Commercial strategy and tour P&L. Build and execute the touring strategy that maximizes revenue, profitability, and long-term market positioning. Own the tour budget, the P&L, and the financial story of every run.

Ticketing, pricing, and sales pacing. Direct ticketing strategy across pricing, scaling, holds, inventory, on-sale planning, dynamic adjustments, and settlement. Read counts daily. Identify soft markets early. Drive corrective action with promoters, venues, marketing, and ticketing partners before a show is in trouble, not after.

Promoter, venue, and ticketing partner relationships. Lead negotiations and ongoing relationships with promoters, venue executives, ticketing platforms, and agency teams. Structure deals that protect the tour's economics and create leverage for future runs.

Market development and promotion. Partner with internal marketing, paid media, and creative teams to ensure every market has the right audience targeting, creative, paid spend, and local activation strategy. Coordinate with local promoters and media partners to convert awareness into ticket sales.

Vendor and production oversight. Manage sound, lighting, production, travel, security, and operational vendors. Ensure contracts align with tour goals and every partner meets the standard.

Tour logistics. Oversee travel, accommodations, transportation, scheduling, advancing, settlement coordination, and compliance with local regulations across domestic and international shows.

Crisis management. Anticipate problems before they surface. When something breaks mid-tour, you make the decision and move on.

• 6+ years in live entertainment touring, ticketing, promotion, or venue-side operations at a major company (see list above).
• Fluency in ticketing systems: Ticketmaster, AXS, Tixr, SeatGeek, Eventbrite, or comparable. You read manifests, holds, scaling maps, and sales reports without hand-holding.
• A strong commercial instinct for pricing, demand-building, and pacing across markets of different sizes and structures.
• Proven negotiation track record across venue contracts, promoter deals, vendor agreements, and ticketing terms. You scrutinize the details and you do not concede ground that does not need to be conceded.
• Existing, active relationships with promoters, venue leadership, ticketing executives, and agency professionals.
• Sharp written and verbal communication. Your emails, recaps, and reports are clear and decisive.
• Composure under pressure. Mid-tour problems do not rattle you.
• Discretion. You will see sensitive contracts, financials, and business affairs every day.

• Direct experience with comedy tours, theaters, PACs, arenas, casinos, or international touring circuits.
• Working knowledge of paid media, local promotion, PR, influencer activation, email and SMS marketing, and audience segmentation.
• International touring experience across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, or Australia.
• A genuine appreciation for live comedy and culturally diverse audiences.

• Competitive salary, depending on experience, plus performance bonus. ($90k-$120k)
• Direct ownership of a global touring business with significant scale and growth ahead.
• High-level access to top promoters, venues, ticketing platforms, and agency partners.
• A creative, fast-moving environment in West Hollywood, building something rare in live comedy.
