Vice President, OCVIBE Strategy & Business Operations
Pay Details:
The annual base salary range for this position in California is $225,000 to $325,000 per year.

The Vice President, OCVIBE Strategy & Business Operations serves as the architect and owner of OC Sports & Entertainment's operating system and a strategic partner to the CEO and Executive Committee. The VP will report directly to the CEO. This role is responsible for translating OCVIBE'S long-term vision into disciplined, measurable execution across venues, development, partnerships, hospitality, and shared services.
The VP leads the organization's strategic planning processes, district performance architecture, and executive operating rhythm while ensuring financial and organizational resources are aligned with the district's highest priorities. This role is responsible for collaborating with applicable members of the OCSE Executive Committee and across the enterprise on business plans for new lines of business.
Operating as the divisional integrator, this leader ensures OC Sports & Entertainment functions as a cohesive, high-performing ecosystem rather than siloed business units. The role requires a deft level of leadership with the ability to drive cross-functional alignment, establish accountability frameworks, and enable leadership teams to execute complex, multi-year strategic initiatives across the OCVIBE district. Additionally, this role requires a skilled leader who earns respect and drives alignment through influence rather than formal authority.
