Job description

Sales Manager | Componere Culinary & Events | San Francisco Bay Area

Componere Culinary & Events is looking for a Sales Manager to join our growing team! We have a great company culture and are excited to continue to build our sales team. This is a new position for our company and will be based out of our Berkeley kitchen and office facility.

We’re one of the country's top catering and events companies, producing everything from intimate private dinners to large-scale corporate events and luxury brand activations throughout the Bay Area.

We also work throughout the country for special projects, such as catering the VIP launch party for the inaugural Formula 1 race in Las Vegas, a high profile wedding in Jackson Hole, or a luxury auto launch on the East Coast.

This role will report to our Director of Growth & Partnerships and focus on two key areas:

• Responding to inbound leads and helping develop thoughtful, customized proposals that set us apart
• Building relationships and generating new business with corporate, event industry, and select social clients

We’re looking for someone who is organized, responsive, comfortable working directly with clients, and understands that great sales in the events business is as much about relationships and execution as it is about closing business.

Ideal experience:

• Catering, hospitality, events, luxury hospitality, or related sales experience
• Strong written and client communication skills
• Experience developing proposals and managing opportunities from inquiry through close
• Existing Bay Area event industry relationships or experience/connections in luxury national events are a plus
• Self-directed, collaborative, and comfortable in a fast-moving environment

We're a growing company and this is a hands-on sales role with meaningful opportunities to grow professionally and help grow Componere in the Bay Area and beyond.
