What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a contract event manager?

To thrive as a Contract Event Manager, you need strong organizational skills, experience in event planning, and typically a background in hospitality or project management. Familiarity with event management software, budgeting tools, and vendor management systems is important. Excellent communication, problem-solving, and negotiation skills set outstanding candidates apart in this role. These competencies ensure seamless event execution, client satisfaction, and effective coordination with multiple stakeholders.

What are some common challenges faced by contract event coordinators, and how can they be managed effectively?

Contract event coordinators often face challenges such as managing multiple clients with varying expectations, working within tight budgets, and coordinating logistics on short timelines. Effective communication and strong organizational skills are key to overcoming these hurdles. Building a reliable network of vendors and maintaining detailed checklists can help ensure smooth event execution. Additionally, staying adaptable and prepared for last-minute changes is crucial in this fast-paced environment.

What is the difference between Contract Event vs Contract Coordinator?

AspectContract EventContract Coordinator
Required credentialsEvent planning certification, relevant experienceProject management certification, organizational skills
Work environmentEvent sites, venues, client locationsOffice settings, event planning departments
Employer/industry usageEvent planning companies, corporate clientsEvent management firms, corporate event departments
Common search intentEvent planning, execution, logisticsManaging contracts, coordinating event details

While both roles are involved in event management, a Contract Event focuses on planning and executing specific events, often requiring event-specific certifications. A Contract Coordinator handles contractual aspects, negotiations, and coordination tasks related to events. The roles overlap in industry and environment but differ in primary responsibilities and credentials.

What is a contract event?

Contract Event jobs involve planning, organizing, and managing events on a contractual basis rather than as a full-time, permanent employee. People in these roles may be hired for specific events or for a set duration to handle tasks such as event coordination, logistics, vendor management, and on-site supervision. Contract Event professionals often work for event planning agencies, corporations, or as independent freelancers, providing flexibility and a wide variety of event experiences. This type of job is ideal for individuals seeking project-based work or those who enjoy dynamic, fast-paced environments.

Job description

Hybrid - Lucky Strike North Scottsdale

Role 

As an Event Sales Specialist on the Core team, you'll own the full sales cycle for corporate outings, social events, and organizational gatherings for groups of 13 up to 100 guests. This isn't just inbound - you'll build pipeline, work your territory, and grow lasting relationships that bring guests back year after year. We lead with presence - Lucky Strike Entertainment operates a camera-first policy. All video calls with clients and internal stakeholders require cameras on, and we expect associates to show up polished and professional - that means appropriate attire, a clean environment, and the kind of executive presence that reflects the brand we represent. 

What You'll Do 

Convert and Close

  • Handle inbound leads and outbound outreach for groups of 13 up to 100 guests across corporate, social, and organizational events 
  • Own the full booking cycle - from first contact through signed contract
  • Match every group to the right venue, package, and experience for their needs and budget 
  • Work high volume across multiple event types without letting anything fall through the cracks 

Build Your Pipeline 

  • Own all local business outreach in your territory - building relationships with companies, organizations, and community groups 
  • Prospect, develop, and grow new accounts to consistently build pipeline beyond inbound leads 

Hit Your Numbers 

  • Work toward a quarterly quota, paid monthly on a tiered basis - stronger performance means stronger earnings 
  • A Commission QRG will detail exactly how your pay is structured from day one 

Pass the Right Leads 

  • Lead under 12 guests? Pass to the Call Center and earn 15% quota credit. Top corporate account? Pass to Enterprise. When a lead is passed to you and you close it, you earn 85% quota credit

Own the Event Experience 

  • Lead BEO meetings for your events - showing up prepared is a key part of delivering what you promised 
  • Partner with venue ops teams to ensure seamless execution from contract to celebration 

Stay with the Guest 

  • Own retention outreach across all group sizes - bringing past guests back and passing qualifying accounts to the right segment 
  • Follow up post-event to strengthen relationships and build your repeat booking pipeline 

Show Up When It Counts 

  • Evenings, weekends, and holidays are our busiest times - and that's when we need you most

What You'll Bring 

  • You don't need to check every box - but here's what sets the best candidates apart. 
  • Background in sales, hospitality, or event planning - group or event sales experience a strong plus 
  • Proven ability to manage a high-volume pipeline across multiple event types simultaneously 
  • Confident prospector - you're comfortable picking up the phone and going after new business 
  • Strong communicator who builds rapport quickly and knows how to close 
  • Feedback-driven and eager to grow - you use coaching to get better, not just move on 
  • Organized and detail-oriented - because every event has a contract, a timeline, and a guest who's counting on you 
  • Comfortable with Outlook, Microsoft Teams, Excel, and event management tools like GEMS
  • Adaptable - corporate buyouts and birthday parties require very different conversations 
 

What You'll Get 

At Lucky Strike Entertainment, we're committed to your well-being on and off the job: 

  • Medical, Dental, and Vision plans to select from based on your needs 
  • 401(K) Retirement Plans and Employee Stock Purchase Program 
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP), Wellness resources, Vacation and Holidays 
  • Perks - Bowling, Boomers and Waterpark discounts, retail and event discounts, and more
