• 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:

$60,000 – $90,000+ 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.
