Job Title: Sourcing Specialist
Location: Remote, US or Canada
Hours: Flexible, project-based
Compensation: Project-based, minimum rate $43/hr
About us:
We plan corporate retreats end to end for growing companies, offering a la carte solutions across the event-management process. Our delivery network is independent operators who own their projects and pick their work, backed by a team that handles account management and technical support so you can focus on the craft.
What this role is:
You own venue sourcing from brief to signed contract. You run multiple RFPs at once, pull and analyze your own comps, negotiate the deal, and hand planning a clean, contract-ready venue. This is autonomous, project-based work for someone who runs their own book, not a support seat on a sourcing team.
What you will own:
Assess client needs and translate them into a sourcing brief
Research venues, build and analyze proposals, present recommendations
Negotiate rates and concessions through to signed contract
Run concurrent RFPs across multiple client programs
Document the timeline and deliverables and assemble the full venue kit
What we are looking for:
You have carried a number: a quota, commission, or full ownership of a contract line
Background as a hotel group sales manager, convention services manager, CVB national sales manager, or sourcing manager at a third-party firm (HelmsBriscoe, ConferenceDirect, HPN Global) or a DMC/TMC
You pull your own comps in Cvent and run RFPs without being walked through them
You decide on thin information and move, rather than waiting for direction
You want flexible, autonomous, project-based work
Eligibility:
Remote, must be based in the US or Canada, work performed in your home country only
Not eligible: candidates based in or working from California, Massachusetts, or New Jersey
To apply, answer:
1) Describe a sourcing project where the plan broke and no one was available to ask. What did you decide, and what happened?
2) Walk through how you would source a venue for a 60-person retreat from a one-line brief.
3) Confirm your work location is in the US or Canada, outside California, Massachusetts, and New Jersey, and that you would work only within your home country (Yes/No, plus your state or province).
