Job Description

Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino is a premier entertainment and hospitality destination located in Salamanca, New York. Known for its world-class casino gaming, luxurious accommodations, exceptional dining experiences, and vibrant entertainment options, Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino is part of the Seneca Gaming Corporation, one of the leading gaming operators in the region. The resort offers a unique blend of modern amenities and natural beauty, attracting visitors from near and far. This establishment is committed to delivering excellent customer service and creating memorable experiences for its guests through innovative events and promotions. The Special Events Coordinator role is an integral part of the resort's dynamic events team, working closely with the Corporate Manager of Special Events to plan, coordinate, and execute various company events and giveaways primarily focused on the Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino property.

The Special Events Coordinator position is a full-time role that offers a starting salary of $19.84 per hour, with compensation negotiable based on experience and education. This role requires a highly organized, detail-oriented individual who thrives in a fast-paced casino environment. The primary responsibility of the Special Events Coordinator is to assist in the development and seamless execution of company events and promotions, including slot and table tournaments, gift giveaways, car giveaways, and other promotional activities. This person ensures all events meet the company’s standards while maintaining brand consistency and effective communication.

In addition to event planning and coordination, the Special Events Coordinator manages detailed record-keeping such as purchase tracking, scheduling, evaluations, attendance, and payroll for the Special Events department. The role involves multitasking daily office activities including phone communications, customer complaint resolution, and maintaining office files. The coordinator also reviews event success by analyzing customer feedback and revenue impact, ensuring continuous improvement of promotional activities.

The role demands a solid understanding of casino management systems such as ACSC and promotional software like Bally BI. The coordinator may also be involved in training colleagues on new software and systems. Maintaining confidentiality and complying with tribal and casino operation regulations are critical components of this position. Interaction with the Seneca Gaming Authority ensures adherence to all relevant gaming rules and policies.

Ideal candidates will have at least three years of casino experience, preferably with a background in marketing, promotions, customer service, or event management. A bachelor’s degree in marketing or a related field is preferred but not mandatory. Candidates should demonstrate excellent communication skills, analytical abilities, and proficiency with computer tools like Microsoft Office. Physical stamina is also essential as the role requires standing and walking throughout the casino floor in an often noisy and fast-paced environment. Flexibility in scheduling and reliability are important, given the 24-hour operation of the casino.

This position offers the opportunity to be part of a vibrant team dedicated to creating engaging events that drive patron loyalty and enhance the guest experience. The Special Events Coordinator plays a vital role in upholding the resort's reputation for excellence and innovation in promotions. If you are passionate about event coordination within an energetic, hospitality-focused setting and thrive on delivering top-tier customer service, this career opportunity at Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino offers a rewarding path for growth and development.
