Founding Account Executive – Corporate Partnerships bei Perfect Venue

About Us 

Private events and catering can significantly increase restaurant and event space revenue, but many venues are stuck using outdated, error-prone manual processes - unlike the sophisticated software employed by large chains. Perfect Venue is leveling the playing field by offering local restaurants and venues an affordable, user-friendly, event management tool to help local them compete with big chains. This is just the start, with plans to expand into a broader marketplace that includes other event services (DJs, florists, etc).

Role Overview

As the first Corporate Partnerships Account Executives at Perfect Venue, you will play a critical role in launching and growing the demand side of our platform by reaching out to companies and organizations that can use Perfect Venue to find and book the perfect venue for their next event.

This role blends sales, event planning, and customer success. You’ll be the face of Perfect Venue for both new clients you source and inbound leads, ensuring that every event booked through our marketplace is a success.
