Event Services Manager
About The Position
Events Manager – Groups, Conferences & Weddings Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort If you love orchestrating unforgettable moments—from high-energy corporate conferences to beachfront weddings where the sunset does half the work—this is your stage. At Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort, no two days look the same. One day you’re welcoming a 500-person conference across multiple ballrooms and breakout spaces. The next, you’re fine-tuning a Gulf-front wedding ceremony, making sure every detail lands perfectly as the waves roll in. You’re part logistics wizard, part relationship builder, part calm-in-the-storm leader—and 100% essential to the guest experience.
Requirements
- Experience in event management, hospitality, conferences, or wedding coordination (resort or large venue experience is a plus)
- Strong organizational skills—you can juggle timelines, people, and priorities without dropping details
- Confidence in communication with high-touch clients, executives, and large groups
- Calm problem-solving under pressure (you don’t panic—you pivot)
- Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and event-driven schedules
- A genuine love for hospitality, teamwork, and creating memorable experiences
