The role of Assistant Operations and Events Manager is a full-time, exempt position reporting directly to the Operations Manager. It is based at the Koka Booth Amphitheatre in Cary, North Carolina, with options for remote and onsite work. The position offers a competitive salary commensurate with experience and includes a generous benefits package featuring medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance, paid vacation, and a 401k plan.
As the Assistant Operations and Events Manager, you will play a vital role in ensuring the seamless execution of live events and efficient facility operations. Your primary responsibilities include overseeing all logistical aspects of events such as staffing, cost estimation, and prioritizing event-related duties. You will serve as the main point of coordination with clients, event organizers, promoters, and internal teams to guarantee flawless event delivery. Your role extends beyond show days to include essential facility management tasks like coordinating repairs, maintenance work orders, and procurement of critical goods and services.
Client engagement is a core aspect of this role where you will liaise with clients prior to events to interpret contracts, clarify policies, and manage expectations. On event days, you will oversee facility operations, communicate changes across departments, and work closely with internal and external staff to ensure smooth set-up and teardown processes. Post-event duties involve reviewing event outcomes, managing vendor relationships, invoice verifications, and ensuring client satisfaction.
Leadership and supervisory skills are paramount as you will manage a diverse workforce including internal staff and external vendors. Your responsibilities will include hiring, training, scheduling, and addressing staff performance or disciplinary issues. Safety is a top priority, requiring you to implement industry best practices, communicate with emergency responders when necessary, and document incidents effectively.
This position demands strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills, advanced proficiency with Microsoft Office suite, and ideally some experience with ABI or other scheduling software. A bachelors degree or relevant career experience is required, along with a minimum of two years of event management experience in a convention center or major hotel environment.
Joining Legends Global means becoming part of a dynamic, fast-paced, and supportive team passionate about delivering exceptional live event experiences while upholding the highest standards of professionalism and operational excellence.
