Sales & Event Services Manager

Cannery Hall is one of Nashville's largest independent music venues, home to three live music stages and a dedicated private events space. We host everything from corporate events and weddings to brand activations, festivals, and private celebrations-and we're looking for a proven event sales professional to help grow that business.

The Role

As Private Events & Venue Sales Manager, you'll own private event revenue from first inquiry through execution. This is a client-facing, sales-driven role for someone who knows how to sell experiences-not just space-and who thrives in a fast-paced hospitality or entertainment environment.

• Proactively generate leads and close new business
• Build relationships with event planners, DMCs, caterers, hotels, and local partners
• Serve as the main point of contact for clients from booking through event execution
• Coordinate logistics with internal teams and outside vendors
• Oversee events on-site as needed to ensure an exceptional guest experience

• 3-5+ years of event sales experience (venue, hotel, hospitality, or entertainment preferred)
• Confident communicator with strong organizational and relationship-building skills
• Detail-oriented, proactive, and comfortable juggling multiple events at once
• Flexible schedule, including evenings and weekends
• Passionate about hospitality, live events, and creating memorable experiences

• Work at one of Nashville's premier independent music venues
• High-impact role with real ownership and visibility
• Collaborative, hospitality-driven culture
• Downtown location at the center of Nashville's music and events scene
