We are seeking a confident hospitality professional who thrives in a fast-paced, high-volume event environment and understands the balance between sales, client experience, operational organization, and event execution.

  • Lead client communication with professionalism, confidence, and organization

  • Assist in contract preparation, event planning documentation, and final event execution

  • Help drive sales growth, upselling opportunities, and repeat business

  • Work within established pricing structures and management guidelines while confidently negotiating and assisting clients with package selections, upgrades, and event solutions

  • Maintain organization and accuracy in a high-volume environment

  • Support and collaborate with an experienced banquet office team

Ideal Candidate:

  • 5+ years hospitality, catering, convention services, conference services, banquet, hotel catering, country club event sales, or event management experience preferred

  • Experience managing large-scale weddings, social events, galas, or high-volume events strongly preferred

  • Calm under pressure with strong problem-solving ability

  • Professional, polished, organized, and detail-oriented

  • Strong communication and client relationship skills

  • Ability to manage multiple moving parts simultaneously while maintaining operational control and professionalism

  • Strong hospitality mindset with the ability to confidently guide clients through complex event planning processes

Candidates with hotel catering, convention services, conference services, country club event sales, or large-scale event management backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply.

Compensation:

  • Competitive base salary

  • Commission and performance bonus opportunities

  • Long-term growth opportunity within an established hospitality operation

Compensation Range: Annually based on experience, leadership ability, and performance.

Benefits:

  • Paid vacation

  • Flexible scheduling as event calendar allows

  • Supportive ownership and management structure

  • Established operational procedures and event systems already in place

  • Opportunity to help shape the future growth of an established event venue

Qualified candidates should submit a resume along with a brief summary of their hospitality or event management experience.
