Now Hiring: Administrative & Event Assistant

Are you an organized, detail-oriented administrative professional looking for a dynamic role where your skills can make a big impact? Our fast-paced catering and event company is seeking a motivated Administrative & Event Assistant to be the operational backbone of our client relations and event coordination.

This is a key position for someone who excels at managing details, communicating with clients, and proactively ensuring a smooth process from start to finish. You’ll be the central hub for our team, and your administrative expertise will be essential to our success.

Responsibilities include:

  • Client Management & Communication: Be the friendly and professional first point of contact for our clients. You'll manage incoming calls and emails, expertly guiding clients through their event details and answering questions.
  • Quote & Proposal Creation: Utilize your strong computer and technology skills to create detailed, accurate quotes and proposals, ensuring every element is documented for the client and our team.
