Job Description
The Florida Panthers are a premier professional hockey team and the two-time defending Stanley Cup Champions. Located in the vibrant city of Sunrise, Florida, the Panthers have established themselves as the National Hockey League's southernmost franchise and continue to make a significant impact both on and off the ice. With a remarkable history of competing in the Stanley Cup Final for three consecutive seasons and participating in the postseason for a record six consecutive years, the Panthers have built a strong legacy in the sport. The organization owns and operates multiple cutting-edge facilities across Broward County, including Amerant Bank Arena, the Panthers IceDen in Coral Springs, the Baptist Health IcePlex practice facility in Fort Lauderdale, and the War Memorial Auditorium, a renovated venue that hosts a variety of concerts and events. These venues collectively contribute to the vibrant sports and entertainment culture in South Florida, attracting diverse audiences and providing community engagement opportunities.
The Florida Panthers organization emphasizes a culture of selfless service, inspired by owner Vincent J. Viola, a West Point graduate and U.S. Army veteran. The team actively supports military veterans through initiatives such as the 'Heroes Among Us' program, which honors a military veteran at every game, reinforcing the deep connection between the Panthers and their community. Additionally, the Florida Panthers Foundation focuses on veterans affairs, children’s health and education, endangered species awareness, and the growth of youth hockey, fostering a strong community spirit and environmental consciousness.
The Event Coordinator role within the Event Services department at Amerant Bank Arena and the FTL War Memorial Auditorium offers an exciting, full-time opportunity for an individual with high energy, dedication, and exceptional organizational skills. Reporting to the Event Manager, the coordinator will play a pivotal role in supporting the planning, organization, and execution of a diverse range of events, including NHL games, concerts, family shows, corporate functions, conventions, and seminars. This role requires effective collaboration with internal departments, clients, promoters, production teams, and vendors to ensure seamless event operations from initial planning to final settlement. The ideal candidate will possess a customer-focused mindset, capable of handling multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
Key responsibilities include managing stakeholder relationships, supporting event buildouts and production requirements, preparing and disseminating detailed event information, assisting in cost assembly and billing processes, and coordinating scheduling for rigging and labor. The coordinator will also conduct pre- and post-event walkthroughs to ensure facility readiness, safety, and client satisfaction, participate in production planning meetings, provide operational insights, and maintain comprehensive event records. This role demands adaptability, creative problem-solving, excellent communication skills, and proficiency in project management tools and software such as Microsoft Office and CAD applications.
The position is exempt and requires flexibility in working hours, including nights, weekends, and holidays as dictated by the event schedule. The Florida Panthers Hockey Club values diversity, equity, and inclusion, fostering an environment where employees feel respected and empowered to contribute uniquely to the organization's success. This is an excellent career opportunity for candidates seeking to join a winning team with a commitment to excellence and community engagement in the exciting sports and entertainment industry.
