WHO WE ARE:
We Crush Events is the future of corporate events! We manage and execute hundreds of events a year for some of the top companies across the globe. These events include virtual experiences, physical in-person events and a hybrid of both as we pioneer this new form of gatherings!
Our team of kickass event professionals spans across the nation. We are looking for a seasoned events professional with a sales-driven work method to join our rapidly growing team and help us expand into brand-new markets!
WHO YOU ARE:
Our new Corporate Event Manager (Sales) is a hungry self-starter looking to build their own market in the given region!
You love talking and listening to people in hopes of figuring out a solution to their problems. You ask a lot of questions.
You get an adrenaline rush every time you cross something off your list.
You don’t just hit your goals, you crush them.
You have a Type-A personality and probably color-code your closet, or make your bed before you get in it.
You’re used to wearing many hats, and you look great in all of them!
You take initiative, not a backseat.
Your attention to detail is so refined that you could find a needle in a haystack without breaking a sweat.
You must have been a juggler in a past life because now you can multitask like a pro!
You always want to be the first to figure “it” out - whatever it is.
You’ve been “in events” your whole career and aren’t sure where your next opportunity for growth is, but a challenge, a risk and something refreshing lights you up.
You will grow new corporate business for WCE by selling, then producing full scale events from start to finish.
