Event Coordinator

Location: Brooklyn, NY

Schedule: Full-Time | On-Site, Five Days per Week

Compensation: $80,000 Base Salary + Commission

About the Opportunity: We are seeking a highly motivated, experienced Director of Event Sales & Coordination to drive private and corporate event sales at a dynamic, large-scale hospitality and events venue in Brooklyn. Our unique venue offers exceptional flexibility, accommodating everything from intimate private gatherings to large-scale corporate events of 700+ guests. With multiple distinct event spaces that can operate independently or be combined, we can host several events simultaneously, creating tremendous opportunities for revenue growth. We are looking for a proven sales professional who knows how to capitalize on that potential. The ideal candidate has a demonstrated track record of generating millions of dollars in annual event revenue, established relationships within the corporate events industry, and the ability to develop new business while managing the event process from initial inquiry through successful execution. This is a sales-driven position with event coordination responsibilities. We are looking for someone who can bring in business, not simply manage incoming inquiries. This is a fully on-site position requiring the successful candidate to report to our Brooklyn office five days per week. This is not a remote or hybrid role.

Event Sales & Business Development: Proactively identify, pursue, and secure new corporate and private event business. Develop and maintain relationships with corporate event planners, executive assistants, agencies, DMCs, and other high-volume event clients. Leverage an existing network of corporate contacts to generate immediate opportunities. Conduct site tours, prepare proposals, negotiate contracts, and close business. Develop strategies to maximize revenue across multiple event spaces, including simultaneous bookings. Manage the event sales pipeline, track leads, and consistently meet or exceed revenue targets. Identify opportunities for repeat business, preferred vendor relationships, and long-term corporate partnerships.

Event Coordination & Execution: Serve as the primary client contact throughout the sales and planning process. Coordinate event details, including timelines, floor plans, menus, beverage packages, and special requests. Prepare accurate Banquet Event Orders (BEOs) and communicate event requirements to operations, culinary, and beverage teams. Work closely with venue management to ensure a seamless transition from sales to execution. Oversee key event details and maintain client relationships to ensure successful events and repeat bookings. Coordinate multiple events simultaneously while maintaining exceptional attention to detail.

Qualifications: Proven track record of personally generating multi-million-dollar annual event sales revenue. Significant experience in corporate event sales, preferably within large-scale hospitality venues, event spaces, hotels, or similar environments. Established relationships with corporate event planners, agencies, and decision-makers. Demonstrated success in prospecting, developing new accounts, negotiating contracts, and closing high-value events. Experience selling and coordinating events ranging from intimate gatherings to large-scale productions. Strong understanding of event operations, BEOs, catering, food and beverage, and venue logistics. Excellent organizational, communication, and client relationship skills. Ability to work independently, take ownership of revenue goals, and collaborate with an established operations team. Experience managing multiple event bookings and complex event logistics simultaneously. Ability to work on-site at our Brooklyn location five days per week. Compensation & Opportunity
