Your Mission:

Your mission is to own revenue generation for the Esplanade and all private and public-facing meeting and event spaces. You lead the full sales lifecycle from inbound inquiry through contract execution, ensuring bookings are well scoped, profitable, and aligned with tenant-first priorities. Through disciplined pipeline management, thoughtful pricing, and strong client relationships, you drive consistent revenue while supporting the larger goal of positioning the Esplanade as a lifestyle destination and the place professionals in Phoenix need to be.


Your Focus:

You own the journey of how a prospect becomes a permanent part of our community. By hosting with 5-star standards during every meeting or event, you turn "amenities" into essential venues that clients will return back to. You operate with an entrepreneurial edge, proactively identifying opportunities to drive measurable vitality and revenue. Ultimately, you lead with such clarity and conviction that our spaces become the undeniable first choice for any organization seeking a home for connection and high-performance work.

Outcomes You'll Deliver:

• Revenue Strategy Planning and Execution: Own the vision and strategy for the meeting and events revenue service line. This includes managing the public and private sales of a large conference center, outdoor plaza and upstairs patio event space, while funneling additional venue bookings to the in-house restaurant operator's restaurant and private dining venues.
• Catering Sales: Create and drive a deeply integrated partnership with Episcope hospitality to cross-pollinate venue sales and drive significant catering revenue in all meeting and event spaces. Upsell catering services to private and public clients.

Work hand-in-hand with the Catering Director of Sales to build strategic relationships on campus and in tenant suites.
• Restaurant Partnerships: Stay embedded with all additional restaurant partners on the Esplanade campus to build a strong referral pipeline and bolster retail business. This includes 4 additional restaurant concepts on-site.
• Asset and Brand Positioning: Design intentional campaigns that make the building a magnetic destination. By showcasing your amenities through targeted activations and service showcases, you create the energy that supports your building's long-term flourish and market presence. The clients you are booking space for and brands you are bringing into the building support the larger goal of transforming the Esplanade into an affluent lifestyle destination and the place business professionals need to be in the market.
• Maintain 5-Star Operations: Act as the architect for meeting and event execution, defining the goals, logistics, and "run-of-show" frameworks for delivering exceptional event and meeting service. You set the stage with such precision that the events team can step in and deliver a seamless, high-impact experience every time.
• Relationship Mastery: Serve as the primary "Connector" for internal and external partners. You'll lead the intake process with curiosity, understanding your clients and their vision so deeply that you can translate their expectations into a flawless brand reality, while maximizing revenue potential.
• Ecosystem & Partner Synergy: Prioritize and champion our on-site operators and local partners to create a cohesive thriving hub. You'll orchestrate vendor selection and alignment, ensuring every partner is tuned in to our standards and contributes to the overall "house proud" atmosphere.

Proactively forecast market patterns and provide strategic recommendations to the Senior Experience Director on promotional or sales strategies during off-peak periods.
