Sales & Events Manager 
Charlotte, NC 
$65K-$70K + Commission

Great Relationships Create Great Business.

Are you the person everyone calls when they need to make something happen?

The client dinner.

The corporate event.

The networking reception.

The holiday party.

The fundraiser.

The celebration.

We're looking for a Sales & Events Manager to drive private dining, catering, corporate functions, venue buyouts, and special event sales across multiple successful concepts.

If you're passionate about hospitality, love building relationships, and enjoy turning opportunities into revenue, this could be one of the most exciting sales opportunities in Charlotte.

Why This Sales & Events Manager Opportunity Stands Out

This role is about creating opportunities.

You'll have the opportunity to develop relationships throughout the Charlotte market, build partnerships, generate new business, and help shape the future growth of a successful hospitality organization.

Who Thrives in This Role?

The people who excel here are relationship builders.

They're proactive, energetic, and motivated by creating opportunities rather than waiting for them.

Most importantly, they enjoy helping clients create memorable experiences while building a successful business at the same time.

Why Charlotte Hospitality Professionals Are Interested

You'll be working with respected hospitality concepts, beautiful event spaces, and a leadership team committed to growth.
