Full Time

Experienced

Unleash Your Inner Dynamo: Sales & Event Manager at La Vaquita Flea Market

Location: Jefferson, GA | Job Type: Full-Time, On-Site | Schedule: Some Weekends Required

About the Role: The Heartbeat of Our Market

Are you an extroverted, results-obsessed powerhouse who thrives on closing deals and throwing unforgettable parties?

La Vaquita Flea Market isn't just a market—it's a vibrant cultural destination, a community hub, and a magnet for small businesses. We're looking for a dynamic Sales & Event Manager to keep the energy high and the market full.

This role is your chance to wear two crucial hats: you’ll be a top-tier sales and leasing expert dedicated to maintaining a diverse, high-quality vendor mix, and a creative event planner who designs and executes cultural festivals and shopper experiences that drive massive foot traffic.

Think of it as 60% Sales / 40% Events. If you're a closer who is also energized by people, logistics, and creating buzz, this is your stage. You won't just manage a market; you'll shape its future.

What You'll Do: Drive Revenue & Delight the Crowd

1. Sales & Leasing (Your Primary Focus)

You will be the engine of our revenue growth, focusing on premium opportunities and maintaining our vibrant ecosystem.

Be a Closer: Aggressively manage the vendor pipeline to maintain 98%+ occupancy with a diverse and engaging tenant mix.
Generate New Revenue: Proactively prospect and nurture relationships with local businesses to secure sponsorships, advertising partnerships, and premium vendor placements.
Own the Process: Master our CRM (Pipedrive or similar), tracking all activity and providing clear, regular reports and insights to leadership.

2. Events & Shopper Engagement (Your Secondary Focus)

You will create the experiences that people talk about and come back for, boosting vendor success and shopper loyalty.

Design & Execute: Plan and manage seasonal festivals, cultural celebrations, and shopper activations that significantly increase year-over-year market attendance and dwell time.
Lead the Logistics: Own the event lifecycle from conception to cleanup, managing timelines, budgets, contractors, and all moving parts using project tools like ClickUp.
Amplify the Message: Work hand-in-hand with the Marketing team to ensure every event is promoted across all channels for maximum impact.

3. Cross-Functional Leadership

Collaborate: Partner with Operations and Facilities to ensure all vendor spaces and event logistics meet our high standards and align with brand goals.
Represent: Be the face of La Vaquita, building positive relationships and securing partnerships within the greater Jefferson community.

What You'll Bring: Your Non-Negotiable Toolkit

This is a high-impact, hands-on role that requires a specific blend of skills—we aren't looking for conventional corporate event planners.

Bilingual Fluency (English/Spanish): Required. Our community and vendors are primarily Spanish-speaking. You must be able to communicate effectively and comfortably with all stakeholders.
Proven Experience: 2+ years in sales, leasing, business development, or a similar revenue-focused role.
Community Event Mastery: Proven experience managing grassroots community events, festivals, or brand activations—you know how to create buzz on the ground.
Logistical Discipline: Strong project management and vendor coordination skills with a demonstrated ability to execute with a high level of detail.
A "Can-Do" Attitude: Highly organized, excellent follow-through, and comfortable with the hands-on reality of event setup and light physical tasks.
Availability: Must have the flexibility to work weekends and evenings as required by the market's operating hours and event schedule.

What We Offer: The Perks of Powering the Market

We believe your direct contribution to our market's success should be rewarded.

Competitive Salary: $55,000–$65,000 annual salary (Depending on Experience).
Performance Bonuses: Significant performance-based bonus potential tied directly to sales goals and market attendance.
Full Benefits: Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance.
Retirement: 401K with a 3% Company Match.
Time Off: Generous PTO and Paid Holidays.
Impact: A unique role where your work directly drives both revenue and cultural community impact every single day.
