Assistant Manager jobs in United States

We’re hiring a senior events professional with direct experience in the corporate events sector GO operates in—that means dinner & dances, family days, team building, conferences, and seminars.

This is a leadership role. You’ll be responsible for leading and growing the event ops, event sales, and event support teams while managing 6–8 events per month. You must be able to own client relationships, enforce operational discipline, and train the team to execute at GO’s standards.

We’re looking for someone who’s already done this—at an agency, production house, or internal events team—with a proven track record of delivering and growing business in this exact space.
