Job Description

Are you a master of memorable moments, driven by a passion for orchestrating seamless, high-impact events? Zilli Hospitality Group is seeking an Event Manager to lead the charge in delivering extraordinary experiences for our clients across southeast Wisconsin!

As the Event Manager, you'll be the heartbeat of event execution-energizing teams, solving problems on the fly, and ensuring every detail is flawlessly managed. Once our sales team has designed the event, you take the reins on event day, transforming plans into reality and creating "wow" moments that guests will never forget.

What You'll Do :

  • Lead, mentor, and inspire a dynamic team of catering professionals and Assistant Event Managers.
  • Serve as the main point of contact for clients, vendors, and staff-ensuring every event exceeds expectations.
  • Oversee all food, beverage, and event logistics, from setup to breakdown.
  • Tackle challenges with creativity and composure, maintaining professionalism under pressure.
  • Foster a positive, collaborative team culture that thrives on excellence, innovation, and fun.
  • Jump in wherever needed-whether it's setting tables, building buffets, or leading pre-shift meetings.
  • Ensure every event runs profitably, efficiently, and with the highest standards of quality and service.

What We're Looking For :

  • Prior experience as a lead server, shift captain, supervisor, or similar leadership role (6+ months required).
  • At least 2 years of customer service experience.
  • A hands-on leader with a passion for teamwork, problem-solving, and delivering exceptional results.
  • Flexible availability (weekdays, evenings, weekends, holidays).
  • Valid Wisconsin driver's license and reliable transportation.
  • Strong communication skills, attention to detail, and a positive, energetic attitude.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, physically active environment.
  • Why Zilli Hospitality Group?

  • Zilli Hospitality Group, a celebrated leader in the event and catering industry, experiencing record growth is excited to add this position to our dynamic team that places a high value on success, innovation, and exceptional customer service. We are passionate about creating a positive work environment and are always looking for talented professionals who share our passion for exceeding our clients' expectations.
  • Equal Opportunity Employer : All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or veteran status.
  • Ready to bring events to life and make your mark with Zilli Hospitality Group? Apply today and join a team where your energy, creativity, and leadership will shine!
