Ticket Manager (Sports Event) - Higher Ed. jobs in Odessa, TX

About Your Future Role

Leading and supporting the sales and banquet teams is what you'll be doing, but here at the Willows Event Center, growing and developing the people on your team is why you'll be doing it.

And if this describes your leadership style, you could be the one we have been searching for!

As the Event Manager, you'll oversee all things banquet planning and sales, which means you should be able to toggle between a customer service and entrepreneurial mindset. Are you up for the challenge of increasing sales, improving processes, and maintaining a five-star guest experience for each and every Willows event? Does helping the people on your team flourish and bloom into all they were created to be excite you to the core?

If the answer to those questions is a resounding, "Yes!" then we can't wait to meet you!

Do I Qualify For This Role?

We are so glad you asked! You can't get around the fact that it takes a special kind of mind to toggle between profit margins, proactive team growth plans, and hors d'oeuvres. You'll need to come in with extensive event experience, a business degree, and a strong record of leading people successfully. Here at the Willows Event Center, we see relational leadership and developing people as your highest priority.

What’s the Average Week Like?

A typical work week for you will average 40-45 hours to ensure the people closest to you get to experience the best of you. Days and weekends will be required due to the nature of when most of our events are held. Occasionally, we’ll also have lunch meetings and corporate gatherings that require some of your lunch or weekend hours, but those things are not the norm.
