Event Planning Manager

The Event Planning Manager's primary focus is planning and executing all aspects of group sales bookings, acting as a liaison between Meeting Planners and hotel staff. Responsibilities include administering the Sales agreement, detailing all Food, Beverage and A/V needs, managing room blocks and pick up, billing instructions and final review. Event Planning Managers also host hotel tours, maintain strong customer relationships, participate and may lead event meetings, and work as a team member with the sales and events staff.

What You Will Do

The Event Planning Manager will plan and execute successful events, market conventions in-house and rooms-only groups, and prepare all rooms and event documentation. They will also coordinate with property departments and customers to ensure consistent, high-level service throughout the pre-event, event, and post-event phases.

Why It Might Be a Fit

The Event Planning Manager should be a team player with a good portion of personality, enthusiastic, and have a hands-on mentality. They should also be a true representative of the company to customers, employees, and the public, and a true support for customers during the event process.
