Event Manager

You own the coordination and execution of Party on Butler's largest, highest-stakes events. This is a senior, demanding role, and we hold a very high bar for it. Please read the full description carefully before applying — we're looking for an experienced events professional who thrives on responsibility and detail. This is a full-time salaried position that comes with a strong health-insurance package.

As a salaried manager who oversees staff, this role is not eligible for tips.

• Run POB's top-tier events end to end — from the first walkthrough to the final teardown.
• Build and hold the master timeline. Coordinate crew, vendors, deliveries, and the client so nothing slips.
• Stay composed and solution-focused on event day, anticipating problems before they happen.
• Manage florals, balloons, backdrops, rentals, and full install logistics.
• Own setup, breakdown, and the quality bar from start to finish.

• 5+ years of hands-on events experience that you personally led.
• Real hands-on work with event materials — florals, balloons, backdrops, rentals, and installs.
• A reliable car is required for this role.
• Exceptionally organized and detail-driven — you build the timelines and systems that keep events on track.
• Comfortable with the realities of events — long days, early load-ins, late nights, and weekends in season. Saturdays start at 6:00 AM. If you like going out on Friday nights, this is not the job for you.
• Physically able to be on your feet and active throughout a full install day, with or without reasonable accommodation.
• A genuinely high personal standard — you see a job through until every detail is right.

Over 1,000 parties in, we've built a reputation for showing up, doing it right, and making the room gasp. We're a small, hands-on, fast-moving team that holds a high bar and takes real pride in the work.
