Job Description

Job Description:

As the Event Manager at Folded Hills—Winery, Ranch & Farmstead, you will play a critical role in ensuring the seamless planning, execution, and success of our events program. This position emphasizes exceptional attention to detail, strong follow-through, effective delegation, leadership, and ownership over all aspects of event coordination. While prior events experience is a plus, we are focused on finding a candidate with experience in project management, ownership from idea, execution, post-event evaluation, and profit and loss statements for each event. This candidate needs to be comfortable leading and delegating to a team that is not experienced in events with precision and professionalism while embodying our culture of gracious hospitality and casual luxury.

Reporting to the General Manager, you will take responsibility for overseeing events that reflect Folded Hills’ brand and values, maintaining high standards of organization, communication, and guest experience.

Key Responsibilities:
•  Exceptional Project Management Skills: Demonstrate the ability to plan, organize, and execute complex projects from start to finish, with a clear understanding of timelines, resources, and priorities to ensure successful outcomes.
•  Event Coordination & Oversight: Manage the planning, logistics, and execution of all events, ensuring a flawless experience for guests and team members.
•  Wine Club Collaboration: Partner with the Membership Coordinator to develop and execute engaging Wine Club event programming.
•  Budget & Financial Accountability: Monitor event budgets, develop proposals, create pricing strategies, and provide detailed profit-and-loss summaries.
•  Vendor Relationships: Build and maintain relationships with vendors, ensuring high-quality service and seamless event execution.
•  Team Leadership: Delegate tasks effectively, provide clear direction, and foster accountability.
•  Onsite Management: Ensure event spaces are maintained to the highest standards, including cleanliness, décor, and equipment needs.
•  Occasional Travel: Coordinate and execute offsite events in other markets as needed.
•  Corporate and Gift Collection Management: Take ownership of all gifting operations, including creating and managing corporate gifts and curated gift collections. Ensure all gifts reflect the Folded Hills brand, align with our values of gracious hospitality and casual luxury, and are executed with exceptional attention to detail and timeliness.

Key Attributes:
We are looking for a candidate who exemplifies:
•  Strong project management skills.
•  Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
•  Leadership that inspires and motivates others to perform at their best.
•  Ownership of responsibilities, with a proactive approach to solving challenges.
•  Adaptability, kindness, and a collaborative spirit.
•  Excellent follow-through and commitment to seeing tasks to completion.

Qualifications:
•  A Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field (hospitality, business, or related areas) is preferred but not required.
•  Proven ability to manage complex projects with multiple moving parts.
•  Exceptional communication and delegation skills, ensuring team alignment and success.
•  Strong proficiency with Microsoft Office and project management tools.
•  Familiarity with wine, food, and agriculture is a plus, though not required.
•  Ability to work evenings, weekends, and holidays as needed.

Physical Requirements:
•  Ability to stand or sit for extended periods.
•  Occasionally lift up to 40 lbs. (e.g., a case of wine).
•  Perform regular walking and standing activities.

This role is ideal for a detail-oriented, self-driven individual who thrives in a collaborative and dynamic environment. If you’re passionate about leading teams and creating memorable events while embracing ownership and excellence, we’d love to hear from you!

Benefits:
•  Health, Dental & Vision Insurance
•  PTO
•  Employee Discount
•  Referral Program
