Sales Catering Coordinator

This position is designed for someone who already understands the hospitality and catering industry but is looking to develop their sales skills through hands‑on experience, coaching, and mentorship.

You do not need years of sales experience. We are looking for someone with the right hospitality foundation, attitude, work ethic, and desire to learn.

The right person will be coachable, curious, organized, personable, and hungry to grow. You should be excited about learning from experienced sales professionals and developing the skills necessary to eventually manage your own clients and events.

This is an entry‑level sales position—but not an entry‑level hospitality position.
