The Napa Institute is a faith-driven organization founded over a decade ago with the mission of deepening the Catholic faith and fostering authentic relationships with Jesus Christ and the Christian community. Established to create transformative experiences, the Institute hosts a variety of events and conferences that emphasize fellowship, spiritual growth, and meaningful dialogue. Known for its welcoming atmosphere, Napa Institute events encourage deeper conversations, faith, impact, and friendship through intentional hospitality and community engagement. These gatherings stand out as unique opportunities for believers to connect beyond formal worship, cultivating lasting bonds and spiritual enrichment within a supportive environment.
The Napa Institute Events & Hospitality Manager, based primarily on the East Coast in either Washington, DC or New York City, plays a critical role in executing the Institute’s mission through expert planning and management of its key events. This full-time role with a salary range of $55,000 to $80,000 is responsible for leading all aspects of Napa Institute events, from the initial invitation phase through post-event financial reporting and analysis. Events managed by this position include signature programs like Salon Dinners, Napa Nights, and the Ecumenical Forum. The Manager coordinates a broad range of operational details, including venue selection and negotiation, menu planning, guest list management, RSVP tracking, and on-site event execution to guarantee an exceptional experience that reflects the Institute's standards of excellence and hospitality.
In addition to event management, this role supports pilgrimage operations by assisting with participant data tracking, invitation coordination, and managing logistics for these spiritual journeys. The Manager serves as a bridge across departments, collaborating closely with programming, development, and communications teams to ensure consistency in messaging and event objectives. The ideal candidate will have 3 to 5+ years of experience in event management, nonprofit operations, or hospitality, a strong financial acumen with the ability to manage budgets and event profit and loss reports, and excellent interpersonal communication skills.
Flexibility for night and weekend events and the ability to travel within the East Coast region are essential. This position requires a practicing Catholic in good standing who demonstrates a high level of professionalism, discretion, and a true passion for mission-driven hospitality. The Napa Institute Values operational excellence, a collaborative spirit, detailed execution, and a warm, welcoming approach to all gatherings. By joining the Napa Institute as Events & Hospitality Manager, you will contribute significantly to fostering community and enriching faith experiences at a notable Catholic apostolate, supporting spiritual growth and social connection among attendees.
