Event Specialist

We are seeking a high-energy, growth-driven Event & Wedding Specialist. This unique position transitions through three distinct operational phases to provide essential maternity leave coverage this fall, before evolving into a permanent, revenue-focused sales role with a stable schedule in the new year. You will start by mastering our internal booking pipelines and shadowing our lead coordinator. From September through December, you will take full operational command of venue bookings and onsite event execution during our peak season.

• Revenue Engine: Shift into your permanent role to aggressively hunt for new corporate clients, social events, and holiday bookings.
• Lead Generation: Manage regional wedding expos, localized Meta/Facebook lead-gen campaigns, and direct corporate prospecting.
• Shared Weekday Tours: Share venue tours with the returning coordinator.
• Targeted Execution: Lead and coordinate shared events.
• Outbound Activation: Use your strong sales acumen to pitch, nurture, and secure contracts for remaining open calendar dates.
• Client Intake: Assist with early-stage client communications and tour follow-ups.
• Venue Management & Facilities: Oversee day-to-day venue upkeep, maintain facility presentation standards, manage onsite inventory, and coordinate with basic utility or maintenance vendors on scheduled maintenance days.

Requirements

• Previous experience in event coordinating or customer-facing roles is preferred but not required; enthusiasm for engaging with people is essential.

• Proven experience in social media management or digital marketing is a plus for enhancing event visibility online.
• Ability to handle data collection tools accurately and efficiently during busy event settings.
