Job Description

Pay: $20.00 to $25.00 per hour based on experience.

Type: W-2 full-time.

Location: Charlotte, NC and Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Union, Gaston and York counties.

The role

You own delivery for a book of client properties: staffing every event, leading captains and event leads, running pre-event planning with clients, and holding the standard on every floor. This is a working manager role with real events every week. Charlotte is our next full market: uptown hotels, the convention district, University City, and the clubs and venues around the region.

What you do

  • Build and confirm crews for every event on your book
  • Lead captains and event leads; run Captain School cohorts
  • Walk properties with clients before and after events
  • Own fill rate, show rate and client satisfaction for your accounts

What we need

  • 3 or more years of hotel banquet, catering or event operations leadership
  • Black professional pants or slacks, black closed-toe non-slip shoes, professional grooming and appearance
  • Reliable transportation and a working smartphone
  • Eligible to work in the United States (I-9 and E-Verify)

What you get

  • $20.00 to $25.00 per hour based on experience, W-2, paid biweekly by direct deposit
  • Paid training before your first shift
  • A written promotion path: event operations manager to market manager to regional director
  • Captain School, our paid leadership program, for people who want to lead
  • Resume rewrite and mock interviews for everyone on the roster
  • Schedules posted ahead; we tell you what the next 30 days of hours look like before you commit
  • Shifts across Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Union, Gaston and York counties

Who we are

The Wilkinson Firm is a premium hospitality and event staffing employer. Every hire is a W-2 employee, not a contractor: taxes handled, workers' compensation, and a real pay stub. We train before the first shift, run a paid leadership program called Captain School, rewrite your resume, run mock interviews, and promote from inside. Our clients are hotels, conference centers, caterers and venues. We consider qualified applicants with criminal histories. The Wilkinson Firm is building a 100-person W-2 hospitality team in the Charlotte market by the end of 2027, and this role is part of it.

How to apply

Apply with a resume or a short work history. We respond to every application and we hire year-round.
