About Us:
At The Big Group, we are all about the essence of true hospitality, made for the 21st century. From sourcing ingredients, training our staff, and curating the details, the great Art of Australian Hospitality is its ability to flex from formal to relaxed, ultra-contemporary to authentically multicultural, and to show everyone a good time. When it comes to our team, Fun is Fundamental! We believe that a dynamic and enjoyable work environment is key to delivering exceptional service. Our team is passionate, energetic, and dedicated to creating memorable experiences for our guests while having a great time doing it!

Our Venues:
Situated on Sydney Harbour's stunning waterfront, our gallery venue provides event spaces for corporate dinners, conferences, cocktail parties, private occasions, weddings, milestone celebrations and everything in-between. We host events across 4 recently refurbished spaces with iconic views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House, ranging from 50-500 pax.

Our corporate venue is situated in Sydney's CBD, inside a newly built state-of-the-art corporate building, where we operate a remarkable, tech-advanced event space with elevated facilities and catering offerings. This 3 level event space encompasses a 500 pax sit down hall, pre-function areas, meeting rooms, a lounge, art gallery and other spaces. Throughout the building we also have private dining areas for VIP events and functions. All areas are activated with high volumes during business hours, with the event space extended to operate in the evenings and on weekends.

Position:
The Big Group have an exciting opportunity for two Wedding Sales Executives (one for each of the venues above) to sell the event spaces and catering packages for their respective venue. This position will play a key role in securing event our wedding enquiries, sourcing new business and working closely with our Event Managers and operations team to ensure we continue to inspire our clients and exceed their expectations.

Main Duties:

  • Work a Monday-Friday work week, with flexibility to work a Saturday on occasion for site visits.
  • Day to day client communications: face to face, email & phone.
  • Manage sales inboxes and enquiries to qualify event sales.
  • Prepare accurate quotes and proposals in a timely manner.
  • Conduct professional and exciting site inspections with clients.
  • Follow up clients for contracts and invoices.
  • Junior role with lots of training and room for growth within the team.

Skills/Experience Required:

  • At least 2 years experience in premium events.
  • Exceptional customer service & client management skills.
  • Strong organisational, administration and time management abilities.
  • Ideally experience in sales within the hospitality industry.
  • Understanding and acumen in event sales, planning and execution.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

Day to day - This could look like a site visit in the morning showing a client around the venue, then spending the day doing admin tasks such as qualifying enquiries, finalising quotes, sending out contracts, following up with clients and invoicing before another site visit in the afternoon. Another day could be a full of admin duties, or you could have a day doing back to back site visits.

How to Apply:
If you are passionate about hospitality and have the skills and experience to excel in this role, we invite you to send us your resume and cover letter!
Please ensure you answer the questions accurately so we can consider your application appropriately.
Full working rights only please.
