Full Job Description

This position will be required to spend time at multiple Journeyman locations in Indiana and Michigan.

Do you believe a great event starts with a connection—and succeeds through disciplined execution?
Are you the kind of leader who can translate a client’s vision into a detailed plan, then rally a team to deliver it flawlessly, on time, and on brand?
Do you take pride in building real relationships, sweating the details, and owning the outcome from first conversation to final teardown?

At Journeyman Distillery, our events are an extension of our craft: intentional, memorable, and done the right way. The Events Operations Manager will bring to life booked events by owning event detailing, staff leadership, and on-site execution—ensuring every event is properly planned, staffed, and delivered to standard. The ideal job candidate: has a positive, “can-do” attitude, is friendly yet assertive, and able to prioritize and juggle multiple tasks; wants to be in the hospitality and events business and will dedicate the time needed to meet client needs; must have a greater concern for our clients and their experience than what time they will be home on a Saturday night; and must be able to translate the customer requests and articulate the needs to the various support teams to achieve a successful and happy end result for events. Lastly, the ideal candidate must have the willingness and ability to truly lead and manage a team of service members.

All team members must uphold and embody Journeyman’s Core Values which represent the culture, attitude, and immediate priorities ensuring our cohesion and success.

GRIT MAKES GREAT

Having a positive attitude that no challenge is too great
Understanding that goals worth pursuing are never easy; that perseverance, grit, and determination are essential to success
There is no substitute for grit and putting in the time and effort. Good things will come from those efforts
10,000-hour rule. Malcolm Gladwell: it takes 10,000 hours of intensive practice to be great

ALWAYS A JOURNEYMAN - NEVER A MASTER

Excellence is a lifelong pursuit and mastery is an illusion
The joy is in the daily work and pursuit of excellence, not in the final destination
A focus on continual improvement and doing our best

Treating every customer with the mindset that they are the business’s 1st ever customer
Treating customers with authenticity, kindness, warmth, care, friendliness; engaging, helpful and willing to offer a magical experience
Clean facilities

This mindset extends to our vendors, suppliers, partners, and especially our fellow employees
Never take the customer or employee for granted

Being a positive force in the workplace; creating a culture of positivity
