This is a sales-focused position: generate leads, book events, build relationships, and grow event revenue.

Competitive base salary plus commission on event sales and bookings.
The compensation structure is designed to reward strong sales performance, with performance-based bonus opportunities and significant earning potential based on sales production.

- Conduct outbound sales to corporations, schools, sports organizations, camps, community groups, and local businesses.

- Coordinate confirmed event details with operations and hospitality teams.
- Meet or exceed weekly and monthly event sales goals and provide regular pipeline and sales reports.
