Event Manager Jobs in Delaware (NOW HIRING)

HomeStar Remodeling Part-time hours, full-time pay. Friday through Sunday focus.

We're HomeStar Remodeling. Windows, roofing, siding, doors. That's what we do, and a big chunk of our business comes from being out in front of homeowners at events. Home shows, county fairs, auto shows, flea markets, street festivals, you name it.

We're hiring an Event Manager to run that whole channel. Booking the events, setting up the booth, working the floor, and leading the rest of the crew. If you've done this kind of work before in remodeling, roofing, or another home-services field and you've got the numbers to back it up, we want to talk to you.

This is not an entry-level role. We're not looking to train someone on what a home show is.

There are four parts to this job, and you own all four.

Lining up the events. You're the one calling event organizers, securing our booth space, negotiating placement, handling the paperwork, and making sure we're locked into the calendar weeks ahead. Some of the events are obvious - the big spring and fall home shows where homeowners are already shopping for a contractor. The trickier ones are the auto shows, the flea markets, the street fairs. The people walking those events aren't expecting to talk to a remodeler. Part of your job is figuring out which of those events actually produce leads for us and getting us in the door.

Setting up on event day. You show up early, you unload the trailer or van, you put the booth together, you set out the product samples, you stage the swag table, and you make the whole thing look sharp before the gates open. It's physical work. Expect to be on your feet hauling boxes, banners, and displays.

Working the event. Your main job at the booth is turning conversations into booked appointments for a free in-home estimate with no obligation, no pressure, and the price we quote is guaranteed in writing for a full year. Your team will be doing the same alongside you, and you'll be coaching them in real time while you're working the floor yourself.
Building the team. You'll also be training new event staff before they ever step into a booth, and your paycheck is tied to how well the people under you perform, not just your own numbers. So we need someone who actually likes developing a team. HomeStar already has a team of canvassers so some of your team will consist of those canvassers and some of your team will be for members you hire and train solely to work events. The more team members you train and the more events you book the more bonuses you'll have access to. Ideally the person in this role will develop a team that can work multiple events simultaneously in different locations every weekend.

A majority of events run Friday through Sunday, so weekends are when the work happens. You'll have weekday hours for organizer calls, training your team, prepping materials, and scouting upcoming events, but the heart of the job is at the booth Friday through Sunday.

The trade-off is real: you'll be working what most people would call part-time hours, but you'll be earning what most people earn working full-time. Strong performers in this role do very well.

• Competitive Base Pay
• Per-appointment bonus on every estimate you personally book
• Team bonuses on the appointments your crew books at events you're running
• Net Sales commissions on your sales and your team sales
• Mileage reimbursed when you're driving to events
• All booth materials, swag, branded apparel, and event gear provided

If you hit your numbers, you're not going to be wondering whether this role pays well.

• Employer subsidized Health, Dental and Vision
• 401k with employer matching
• Paid time off
• Extensive leave program including Paternity and Maternity leave

You've done this before. Specifically:

• 2+ years working events for a remodeling, roofing, window, siding, solar, or similar home-services company. Multiple events. Multiple seasons. Not "I helped at the booth one weekend."
• You can show us your numbers from past roles. Appointments booked per event, sit rate, conversion. If you didn't track that, this probably isn't a fit.
• You can walk up to a stranger at a flea market who is there to buy old records and start a real conversation about their roof without making them feel like they're being sold to. That skill is rare and we need it.
• You can lead a small team during a long day. Setting the tone during setup, keeping the energy up at 4pm when everyone's tired, and being the last one out when the booth comes down at the end of the event.
• A reliable vehicle, a clean driving record, and the ability to lift around 50 lbs. A company vehicle is available for events with further drives
• Available Friday through Sunday year-round.

Existing relationships with event organizers in our region. Past experience training brand ambassadors, canvassers, or other field marketing reps. A sales background in windows, roofing, or siding.

HomeStar Remodeling is a local company doing windows, roofing, siding, and doors. We complete projects and run events in PA, MD, DE, and NJ. We've built our reputation on doing the work right and standing behind what we quote. Every estimate we hand a homeowner is guaranteed in writing for a full year, that's why our events convert as well as they do. You'll be using that promise every weekend.

We run a tight, growing crew. The right person in this role doesn't just work events for us - they build the program.
