About the Role

Dorsia is seeking a Senior Vice President of Marketplace to unify and lead the growth engine of the company, building and deploying the agentic AI infrastructure that powers it. Reporting to the CEO, this role brings supply and demand under one strategic leader, creating the alignment, accountability, and velocity to power Dorsia’s next phase.

The SVP of Marketplace will own the strategy and performance across five core functions: Supply, Demand, Operations, Communications, and Marketplace Strategy, responsible for ensuring operations run as a single, coherent AI-powered system.

At the heart of this role is a deep understanding of marketplace economics: how supply and demand interact, where they create tension, and how to balance both in service of a premium, membership-driven business. The right candidate has scaled a consumer marketplace or membership product, driven quantifiable outcomes inside a high-growth environment, and knows how to optimize AI tooling to sharpen decisions at every layer of the marketplace.

Own the marketplace P&L with full accountability for revenue performance, cost of growth, and unit economics across supply and demand.

Manage marketplace liquidity by calibrating demand against supply capacity, protecting the integrity and exclusivity of the Dorsia experience.
Drive pricing and yield optimization, including dynamic pricing, minimum spend architecture, and yield management across venue tiers.
Lead the Culture Calendar, ensuring Dorsia’s event and experience offering stays consistently ahead of the market and drives membership targets.

Own the community layer of the Dorsia brand, building a member ecosystem that reinforces exclusivity and drives organic growth.
Own competitive intelligence across luxury memberships, reservation platforms, and experiential competitors.
Utilize AI and data tools to generate marketplace insights and translate them into actionable strategic recommendations.

Winning Recipe

8+ years of experience in a high-growth consumer marketplace, membership, or luxury product environment, with at least 3 years in a senior leadership role with direct ownership of supply and demand functions.

Workplace Philosophy at Dorsia

At Dorsia, we believe that culture eats strategy. The best ideas in the world mean nothing without the right people around the table and the right chemistry between them. We are, unapologetically, a people-first organization.

In-Person Matters

We’re creating once-in-a-lifetime experiences for the most discerning audience in the world. That doesn’t happen over Zoom. It happens through collisions: a spark across a desk, a kitchen-side conversation that unlocks a partnership, the energy of ideas felt, not typed. That’s why in-office culture is non-negotiable at Dorsia.

Who We Hire

We don’t subscribe to check-the-box hiring. We hire for merit and mindset, which naturally creates a team with varied backgrounds. What unites us isn’t demographics, it’s a shared vision: to build the social operating system for the cultural vanguard.

Lifestyle Hours

We’re not a 9-to-5 company. Our lifestyle mirrors our members. Early flights, after-work events, and late-night sprints when the work demands it. But we love what we do, and we definitely love a good party.

High Performance Culture

Working at Dorsia isn’t for everyone—and that’s the point. Our culture is designed for builders, not passengers. We move fast, set ambitious standards, and expect people to rise to them. If you have the talent and the drive, this will be a ride to remember.

A Final Word

We’re building something special. It will take long hours and relentless effort. It’s not for everyone. For those with the metabolism, you’ll create something that changes how culture is lived. And that’s the kind of work worth your life’s energy.
