Events Manager

Description Base Salary: $70,000 - $80,000 / year based on experience + Quarterly & Sales Bonus Potential Picture a summer wedding on the waterfront, or a 300-guest corporate celebration with indoor and rooftop space. At Rye Street Tavern, that’s a normal week. Our restaurant & venue on the Baltimore Peninsula has eight event spaces for up to 400 guests, plus Overlook, our off-site venue for up to 300. We’re looking for an Events Manager who gets their energy from event day. Our sales team books the events, so you won’t spend your time chasing leads.
