This Special Events-Venue Manager role is a pivotal position within Stein Distributing's Sales Department, reporting directly to the Sales Manager. The primary objective of the role is to manage and execute special events through strategic identification of new opportunities, product sales management, ordering and inventory oversight, as well as operational coordination before, during, and after events. The position requires close collaboration with media companies to ensure optimal content placement and budget adherence, and frequent interaction with the budgeting team to maximize cost-efficiency.

The successful candidate will oversee large venue events on a monthly basis, identify and secure new venues and events, and make informed product decisions in collaboration with the forecasting team. Responsibilities also include organizing and managing event-related materials and merchandise, ensuring accurate post-event summaries, and facilitating communication with administrative offices regarding orders and invoicing. Additionally, the role involves coordinating equipment needs with various departments, assisting in event setup and teardown, and leading selected events that may require some evening and weekend work, though not all events will necessitate this schedule.

Further duties encompass managing social media content related to special events, ensuring compliance with laws and regulations concerning media coverage, and maintaining up-to-date information on the Stein Distributing website, including brand and employee details. The manager will negotiate contracts with corporate media companies and work closely with breweries to manage media budgets effectively.

This role demands a blend of sales expertise, organizational skills, leadership capabilities, and operational awareness. The candidate must be adept at problem-solving, time management, and clear communication, combined with the physical ability to handle event setup tasks which may include lifting heavy materials and operating large vehicles. The company values individuals who are proactive, detail-oriented, and committed to excellence in managing all facets of special events and venue relations within the beverage distribution industry. The position offers an exciting opportunity to contribute significantly to Stein Distributing's continued success and market presence.Show Less
