Job description

The best way to understand how a business grows is to be part of making it happen.

At Summit Events, we believe valuable business experience comes from putting ideas into action. Our Charlotte team connects brands with customers through live promotional campaigns, combining meaningful interactions with measurable results.

We're looking for a Management Trainee who wants to understand how campaigns operate, develop practical business skills, and build a foundation for future leadership responsibilities.

This is a hands-on, customer-facing sales opportunity where you'll gain experience in campaign execution, team collaboration, and performance-driven business operations.

Where You'll Start

Every successful team needs people who understand the work behind the results. You'll begin by gaining firsthand experience in our promotional campaigns.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Representing clients at promotional events, retail activations, and face-to-face campaigns throughout Charlotte.
• Engaging prospective customers, understanding their needs, and explaining relevant products and services.
• Answering questions, addressing concerns, and helping customers make informed decisions.
• Supporting customer acquisition and sign-ups while working toward individual and team sales targets.
• Collaborating with colleagues on campaign execution, product knowledge, customer relationships, and performance improvements.

Learn the Business. Develop as a Leader.

Management starts with understanding how the business works.

Through paid, hands-on training, daily coaching, and guidance from experienced team members, you'll learn how campaigns are delivered, how performance is measured, and how teams achieve their objectives.

As you develop your capabilities and demonstrate consistent results, opportunities may arise to take on additional responsibilities, including training new colleagues, supporting team leadership, and contributing to broader campaign operations.

Progression depends on individual performance and available opportunities.

What You'll Gain

• Weekly base pay plus performance-based commissions and incentives.
• Full-time, on-site employment in Charlotte, North Carolina.
• A supportive, collaborative environment with ongoing professional guidance.
• Practical experience in sales campaigns, business operations, and team coordination.
• Opportunities to develop transferable professional and leadership skills.

Who We're Looking For

Previous experience isn't required. Whether you're a recent graduate, exploring a new career direction, or bringing experience from retail, hospitality, or customer-facing work, we welcome applicants ready to learn.

You will thrive here if you bring initiative, reliability, clear communication, and a willingness to improve. You should be comfortable approaching people, working toward goals, accepting feedback, and contributing to a team.
