The Offsite Events Manager plays a crucial role in this dynamic environment, focusing on the planning and execution of events in locations where Encore is not the contracted onsite event technology provider.

The role of the Offsite Events Manager is designed to oversee all aspects of offsite event coordination and execution, working closely with sales, operations teams, and venue partners to deliver seamless event experiences. This position is responsible for preparing and communicating detailed production and labor schedules, managing technical equipment needs, and ensuring that all event logistics align with client expectations and Encore’s technical standards.

Reporting to the Director of Offsite Events, this role demands strong leadership and project management capabilities.

In addition to event planning and execution, the Offsite Events Manager is responsible for administrative duties such as reviewing and approving timesheets, processing invoices, and participating in post-event evaluations. This position plays an integral part in training and developing Encore team members, fostering a knowledgeable workforce equipped to handle diverse event requirements. The role requires maintaining comprehensive venue files that include vital details such as dock access, power limits, and contact information, which streamline event planning and reduce operational risks.

The ideal candidate brings a solid background in event technology or broadcast industries and has experience managing client relationships with a focus on exceptional service delivery. Key competencies include hospitality, accountability, collaboration, decision-making, and the ability to work under pressure. The Offsite Events Manager must be comfortable working irregular hours and adapting to various work environments, including hotels, warehouses, and office settings.
