The role of Event Sales Specialist at Lucky Strike Entertainment is a dynamic and influential position situated on the Core team at either the Oxnard or Moorpark location.

As an Event Sales Specialist, you will take ownership of the entire sales cycle for groups ranging from 13 to 100 guests, handling corporate outings, social events, and organizational gatherings.

Maintaining an executive presence is vital as Lucky Strike operates a camera-first policy for all client and internal meetings, demanding a polished and professional demeanor.

Additionally, the Event Sales Specialist is responsible for post-event follow-up to encourage repeat bookings and foster long-term guest relationships. Working evenings, weekends, and holidays is necessary to support the busiest times and provide exceptional service when clients need it most. This role offers a tiered commission structure that rewards strong performance and a comprehensive benefits package tailored to support your health, well-being, and financial future.

The company encourages those with a background in sales, hospitality, or event planning who are organized, detail-oriented, and adaptable to diverse event needs to apply. You’ll enjoy access to robust training, a supportive corporate culture, and extensive perks including medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) plans, employee stock purchase program, wellness resources, and discounts across various entertainment venues owned by Lucky Strike.
