The position is based at the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, which enjoys the distinction of being the number one entertainment venue in the state. This facility hosts a diverse range of events including concerts, comedy shows, family shows, sporting events, banquets, conventions, trade shows, and meetings.

Additionally, the Event Manager is accountable for creating detailed event room layouts, communicating requirements with operational departments, managing billing and cost estimates, and monitoring event progress to promptly address any client concerns.
The role requires both leadership and operational skills, as the Event Manager also assists in supervising Event Services staff and occasionally serves as the manager on duty. Excellence in interpersonal communication, problem-solving abilities, and organizational talents are essential to thrive in this role, along with the flexibility to work during event hours that may include days, nights, weekends, and some holidays.
