The majority of this role’s time is spent on hands-on event execution across the ballpark’s 280+ dark days, paired with a real outbound sales mandate as the Director will proactively build a pipeline of new business, not simply manage inbound requests, and will be expected to exceed monthly and yearly revenue targets.

• Track event payments received and ensure all related invoices are managed
• Support select game-day needs as needed

• Proactively drive new business through outbound sales calls, presentations, trade shows, and client prospecting, with clear accountability to monthly and yearly revenue targets
• Build and manage a sales pipeline for event space rentals, corporate events, and non-baseball programming
• Create leads and cultivate long-term relationships across the event planning, production, and promotion communities, including the CVB, City/County officials, and the local Sports Commission
• Partner with other departments to identify and develop new special-event revenue opportunities, both standalone and tied to existing Stripers properties
• Work with the marketing team to create "events within events" that drive fan engagement and incremental revenue during Stripers games
• Implement the marketing plan and strategy for outside events, including maintaining event-related content on the facility website, social media, and marketing materials
• Partner with the creative team to develop marketing materials for print, digital, and trade show use that showcase Gwinnett Field's event capabilities

• Proven outbound sales experience with a track record of hitting or exceeding revenue targets
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills; ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Strong computer skills, including MS Office and TripleSeat
• Ability to work holidays, evenings, and weekends
• 2-4 years of related experience in venue operations, event sales, or event marketing, with working knowledge of local and regional markets
• Bachelor's degree in business, hospitality/facility/sport management, or a related field
