ABOUT THE ROLE

The Event Manager acts as the bridge between the sales team, operations, production, culinary teams, and the client. Once the sales process is complete and the contract is signed, this role takes full ownership of the client relationship, guiding them through every detail of planning, coordination, and execution until the event's successful completion. It is both strategic and hands-on, requiring exceptional communication, meticulous organization, and a service-driven mindset. You'll manage all aspects of the event planning and execution process, from BEO creation and vendor coordination to on-site oversight and client communication.

This role requires a proactive, team-first approach, often stepping in alongside operations to ensure every event is executed at the highest standard.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Event Detailing & Planning

  • Serve as the primary client contact after the sales handoff through post-event follow-up.
  • Develop detailed Banquet Event Orders (BEOs) and communicate event specifics across departments.
  • Identify opportunities to upsell beverage upgrades, menu enhancements, or experiential activations.
  • Lead internal meetings with culinary, beverage, AV, and operations teams to ensure alignment on event needs.
  • Manage all event timelines, room setups, and F&B logistics in coordination with department heads.
  • Conduct pre-event meetings, tastings, and walkthroughs with clients and internal teams.
  • Liaise with vendors and suppliers to secure necessary services and products for events.
  • Event Operations & Logistics

  • Handle practical event preparations, including gathering supplies and service equipment from on-site and off-site storage areas.
  • Must possess a valid driver's license and be comfortable transporting event materials as needed.
  • Create and distribute event signage, wristbands, drink tickets, and other guest-facing materials in coordination with the Director of Events.
  • Maintain organization of event inventory such as linens, décor, glassware, and collateral, ensuring readiness for upcoming events.
  • Support event setup and breakdown, ensuring service and presentation meet Chief's standards.
  • Act as the on-site point of contact for both client and operations during events.
  • Resolve issues quickly and calmly, maintaining professionalism and guest satisfaction.
  • Monitor service quality, adjusting in real time as needed.
  • Verify AV, lighting, and room environment are aligned with client expectations.
  • Post-Event & Administration

  • Conduct post-event follow-up with clients to confirm satisfaction and gather feedback.
  • Reconcile billing and ensure accuracy of event charges prior to invoicing.
  • Update and maintain event files, BEOs, and notes in venue management systems.
  • Communicate lessons learned or opportunities for improvement to leadership.
  • WHO YOU ARE

  • Proven ability to communicate effectively across departments and with individuals at all levels, from Fortune 500 corporate clients to internal service teams.
  • Results oriented with exceptional attention to detail and strong organizational skills.
