Resumo da oferta

The Warung Theater at Cathay in Ipoh is seeking an energetic events hunter to bring in government, corporate and school bookings. This isn’t a desk job—you will meet decision-makers, tour venues, prepare quotes, coordinate on-event details and ensure client satisfaction so they return.

You will manage a yearly event calendar, hit monthly sales targets and mentor the events team as we grow. Some weekends/evenings are required.

• Proactive, confident and outgoing, and not shy about cold calls or walk-ins.
• Calm and professional with senior clients and VIPs.
• Good communication in Bahasa Malaysia and English (Mandarin is a plus).
• Own transport and a valid driving licence.
• Able to work some weekends and evenings during events.

Responsabilidades

• Find and win event bookings from government departments, schools, corporates and associations.
• Visit clients, make calls, hold walkthroughs and close deals.
• Prepare quotations, packages and follow-ups until payment is collected.
• Plan and manage each event: layout, menu, AV, timeline and on-the-day coordination.
• Meet and mingle with guests on event day, and build long-term relationships.
• Lead and guide our event sales team.
• Plan a yearly event calendar and hit monthly sales targets.
• Report weekly on your pipeline and sales.
