Job Description

Our company is a growing event planning business based in Orlando, Florida, dedicated to creating seamless, memorable experiences for clients on their special occasions.

With a focus on quality and client satisfaction, we are expanding our team to include motivated and entrepreneurial-minded professionals who share our passion for excellence in event coordination and business growth.

The role we are offering is a unique opportunity for a flexible, commission-based independent contractor to step into lead coordinator responsibilities and play a pivotal part in our continued success. This position blends event coordination with business development, allowing you to take charge of leading weddings and events while actively contributing to expanding our client base. As a lead coordinator, you will manage the entire process, from planning to execution, ensuring every detail aligns with the client’s vision. Concurrently, you will engage in networking, social media outreach, and strategic initiatives to attract new bookings and foster long-term relationships with clients, vendors, and venues.

Ideal candidates are experienced in event or wedding planning with a strong organizational aptitude and exceptional communication skills. This role suits someone who thrives in a dynamic environment, balancing multiple priorities with precision and professionalism. You will work independently but remain an integral partner to the business owner, collaborating on growth strategies and client experience enhancements. Compensation is primarily commission-based, rewarding your ability to generate revenue through bookings and client engagement. Additional perks include coverage of networking event fees, a flexible schedule, and increased visibility working directly as a lead coordinator at high-profile events.

This is a hybrid remote opportunity focused regionally in Orlando, FL, requiring availability to attend weddings and client meetings both on weekends and some weekdays. The position demands a high level of commitment, entrepreneurial drive, and dedication to growing the business alongside our expanding team. With a competitive hourly base pay starting at $17.00, plus commissions and bonuses, this role offers significant earning potential based on performance. The hiring process involves two interviews and a practical activity assessment to ensure the perfect match for our company culture and ambitious growth targets. Join us if you are ready to leverage your event planning expertise and contribute to an exciting phase of expansion in a thriving company that values initiative, creativity, and client-focused results.
