This is a new-ish position, in a rapidly growing company, in an always-changing industry. That means that this position and its responsibilities will continue to evolve. So, if you're change-adverse, this job ain't it.

That being said - if you're good with change, and are willing to try new things - you'll love this job, and it'll love you right back.

We pay a base wage of $50,000 - $60,000, depending on experience, plus a performance-based bonus for booked events — no caps, no mystery math. Total compensation for this position will likely fall between $60000.00 - $70000.00 per year.

This position is full-time, with a semi-set schedule designed around the demands of our sales volume. This position will work a mix of days and nights, weekdays and weekends — based on sales activity, special events, and client meetings. Our Event Coordinator - Catering & Event Sales will work 5 days, and typically 45-ish hours per week.

Our team has been built - brick by brick - on shared core values. And no, they're not just bullsh*t words slapped on a wall - they're who we are - and they're non-negotiables for working here. You'll feel super *comfy* and right at home if these words describe you:

• » You Come With Batteries Included
• You're a high-energy self-starter who jumps into action, and doesn't need hand-holding to get things done.
• » You're Scrappy
• You're a resourceful problem solver who makes things happen; if there's no door, you get in through a window.
• » You Take Your Work Seriously
• You take pride in your work, big and small, and you have a natural reflex to do things the *right* way.
• » But, You Don't Take Yourself Too Seriously
• You're a positive team player who's quick to laugh at your own mistakes, open to feedback, and humble about your wins.

And if these words don't describe you? You'll be decidedly *uncomfy* here. So, fair warning - If you're a cranky a** problem-bringer who's cool being super-mid at your job and needs constant hand holding… may we suggest… working literally anywhere else?
