About Fudale Events

Fudale Events is a Las Vegas-based experiential event company specializing in large-scale corporate events, creative design, and seamless operations. We thrive on innovation, collaboration, and delivering exceptional experiences for our clients.

About the Role

The Business Development & Event Operations Manager plays a vital role in driving company growth by cultivating strong client relationships and supporting seamless program execution. This position is responsible for generating new business opportunities, managing and growing existing accounts, and collaborating with internal teams to ensure client needs are aligned with operational delivery. In addition to business development responsibilities, this role will also oversee and operate programs as needed, ensuring smooth execution and an exceptional client experience from planning through completion. The ideal candidate is proactive, highly organized, adaptable, and relationship-focused, with the ability to balance client development, logistics coordination, and hands-on program management in a fast-paced environment.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who genuinely loves people and relationships. At Fudale Events, many of our clients become long-term partners because we lead with honesty, responsiveness, and genuine care. This role is for someone who enjoys the operational side of events and can also strengthen partnerships within the corporate event space—jumping into logistics when needed, anticipating needs before issues arise, and communicating solutions with confidence. We’re not looking for order takers; we want a proactive thinker who takes ownership and helps create exceptional experiences from concept through execution.
