Venue Manager | USA Pavilion, Expo 2027 Belgrade

Expo 2027 Belgrade, a Bureau of International Expositions (BIE)-recognized World Expo, will take place in Belgrade, Serbia, from May 15 to August 15, 2027, under the theme “Play for Humanity – Sport and Music for All.” Bringing together more than 100 countries and millions of visitors, the Expo will serve as a global platform for cultural exchange, innovation, and international collaboration. 

 

The USA Pavilion will be a flagship destination at Expo 2027, welcoming visitors from around the world through immersive experiences, dynamic programming, and interactive storytelling. Inspired by the Expo theme, the Pavilion will showcase American creativity, innovation, music, sport, and culture while highlighting the power of connection, collaboration, and people-to-people engagement. 

The Venue Manager for the USA Pavilion at Expo 2027 Belgrade will lead the Front of House teams and oversee the daily operations of the pavilion's facilities and visitor-facing areas. This role requires a hands-on leader with experience in venue and facilities management for events. They will be able to implement and execute strategies that ensure all operations and activities run smoothly, and in alignment with pavilion standards. The ideal candidate will be an individual who knows how to bring a strategic plan to life, train staff on operational concepts, procedures and best practices, and enjoy motivating teams so they feel confident about and accountable to their responsibilities. They will work closely with internal and external stakeholders to deliver a world-class experience that represents American innovation, culture, and excellence. 

 

This role will also assist in strategic plan development, serving as a collaborative thought partner to the Senior Venue Manager and Operations Leadership Team. They will instill values of ownership so all teams can excel in strategy development, training, communication coordination, problem-solving, and documentation & reporting, with the ultimate unified goal of delivering an exceptional experience for visitors and positive environment for staff, while maintaining a well-managed and welcoming pavilion.  

The nature of Expo operations requires a collaborative and flexible working environment across all areas of the USA Pavilion. While each team member will have a defined role and primary responsibilities, all staff may be required to support additional operational functions as needed to ensure the successful delivery of the Pavilion experience. This may include assistance across programming, VIP visits and protocol, cultural performances, food and beverage operations, hospitality, venue management, guest services, staffing coordination, special events, and other operational activities. Due to the live-event nature of the project, support may occasionally be required with limited notice, and all team members are expected to contribute proactively, professionally, and collaboratively to the overall success of the Pavilion.
