About the role

If you thrive on building relationships, shaping memorable corporate experiences, and owning the entire journey from first conversation to final handoff, this role will keep you energized. You’ll blend sales strategy, creative event design, and operational know‑how to bring polished corporate events to life.
What You’ll Be Doing: Jump on new corporate inquiries and turn interest into booked events with confidence and enthusiasm. Build your own outbound pipeline by connecting with companies, visiting offices, and sparking new opportunities. Craft customized proposals using real back‑of‑house understanding — menu planning, portion logic, service flow, equipment needs, and staffing plans that actually work in execution. Create clear, accurate event documentation in our internal planning system and manage all contracting and payment steps. Become the long‑term partner clients rely on, nurturing repeat business and expanding relationships over time. Build strong connections with local venues to keep referral opportunities flowing. Keep events running smoothly by following established processes for logistics, timelines, staffing, rentals, and last‑minute adjustments.
What Success Looks Like: You generate your own momentum through proactive outreach, not just inbound leads. You consistently book qualified meetings and close multiple corporate events each month once fully ramped. You drive strong revenue through steady activity, smart planning, and reliable follow‑through. Your events run clean because your proposals are accurate, your communication is clear, and your expectations are realistic.
What You Bring: Experience selling and producingcorporate events, with the ability to translate ideas into operationally sound plans. Strong BOH literacy — you understand how menus, staffing, and logistics actually work behind the scenes. A proactive, outbound mindset and a disciplined follow‑up rhythm. A love for details: timelines, revisions, accuracy, and client expectations matter to you. Comfort getting out in the field for client visits, walkthroughs, and partner meetings.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
