Events Manager
About The Position
Are you a results-driven leader who thrives under pressure and delivers measurable outcomes? This is not a role for someone looking to "figure it out" we need a proven performer who can take our events department to the next level. We're seeking an Events Manager to own our brand's presence at local home shows, exhibitions, festivals, fairs, and community gatherings throughout Southern California.

You will actively manage events on-site, lead a team of Event Promoters, engage with the public, and generate qualified leads for our in-home sales team. This is a performance-based position. Your success and your compensation will be determined by your ability to hit aggressive KPIs and develop a high-performing team. If you cannot handle the pressure of delivering specific, measurable results, this is not the role for you.
