Job Description
ASMGlobal is a prominent leader in the management of public assembly facilities, recognized globally for its excellence in venue operation and event hosting. The company specializes in managing a vast network of arenas, convention centers, stadiums, and theaters, delivering exceptional experiences for clients and guests alike. ASMGlobal focuses on innovation, operational efficiency, and a customer-centric approach, ensuring every event held under its management achieves maximum impact and success. With a commitment to community engagement and sustainable management, ASMGlobal fosters growth and vibrancy in the markets it serves, including the Shreveport area.
Currently, ASMGlobal is seeking a Sales Manager to join the Sales and Marketing Department at the Shreveport Convention Center/Municipal Auditorium. This salaried exempt position reports directly to the Director of Sales & Marketing and plays a pivotal role in driving the success of the facility’s event bookings. The Sales Manager is primarily responsible for securing large, high-revenue generating events across all venues within the Shreveport Convention Center. These events encompass private functions, corporate meetings, association gatherings, conferences, non-ticketed community events, public events, and sporting events. The position demands a team-oriented professional who can collaborate effectively with sales staff to market venues and implement targeted event-related promotions to increase revenue.
The role of Sales Manager at ASMGlobal Shreveport offers a dynamic environment where strategic sales and marketing initiatives directly contribute to the center’s performance. The Sales Manager assists the Senior Sales and Marketing Manager in crafting and executing marketing plans that set ambitious goals for growth and visibility. Responsibilities include quoting rates, preparing contracts, managing client communications pre-event, and coordinating with event coordinators once bookings are confirmed. Supervisory duties also form part of this role, encompassing recruitment, training, performance appraisal, and discipline of sales staff and interns in collaboration with Human Resources. This leadership aspect reinforces the importance of a high level of professionalism, exceptional communication skills, and the ability to prioritize multiple projects effectively.
This position requires proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, coupled with a solid background in sales related to public assembly or facility management. Flexibility is crucial, as the role demands working irregular hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, to accommodate event schedules. Some travel may also be necessary. The Sales Manager operates regularly within the venue, requiring physical stamina for extended standing and mobility throughout the facility.
ASMGlobal highly values diversity and inclusion, encouraging women, minorities, individuals with disabilities, and protected veterans to apply.
