Sales Manager

Pop Stroke is a founder-led brand built by people who believe energy creates results and culture creates momentum. We aren’t here to simply run venues — we’re here to build something special together.

At Pop Stroke, every team member has limitless potential to become who they want to be. We encourage bold ideas, celebrate growth, and believe that when you’re supported, challenged, and trusted, you rise.

We solve problems together, jump in, and move the needle every day because we care. We lead with ownership, back each other up, and never lose sight of the fun along the way.

This mindset; the drive, the heart, the teamwork is what we call The Pop Stroke Way.

If it’s not fun, rethink how we’re doing it.
We bring creativity, positivity, and joy into everything we do, from guest interactions, doing hard things, and how we support one another.

Your vibe sets the tone.
Every leader and team member influences the experience. Show up with enthusiasm, optimism, and presence.

See it. Fix it. Jump in.

We are hands-on, problem solvers that jump in and become part of the solution. We leave things better than we found them.

Live your role with an owner’s mindset.
We take pride in our work, hold ourselves accountable, and treat the business like it’s our own.

Don’t repeat yesterday — rethink, improve, grow.
We challenge "the way it's always been done" and are always looking for better ways to serve our guests and each other.

If mixing drinks is your jam and spreading good vibes is your game, then it's time to shine on our greens!

The Event Sales Manager is responsible for driving event revenue from initial prospecting and booking through successful event execution. This role is pivotal in managing inbound leads, proactively generating new business, converting opportunities into booked events, building strong client relationships, and contributing to the overall sales goals of the venue.

This is a hands‑on, venue‑based sales leadership role that combines proactive selling, independent management of client opportunities, and an active presence during events and key business periods. Event Sales Managers are expected to exercise sound judgment in managing their pipeline, developing client solutions, prioritizing opportunities, and partnering closely with Venue Leadership to ensure the events they sell are successfully brought to life.

At Pop Stroke, the sale does not end when the contract is signed. Our Event Sales Managers maintain ownership of the client relationship from prospecting through execution, using their judgment to navigate client needs, solve problems, and coordinate with our Operations teams to help deliver the experience promised to our guests.
