Event Sales Coordinator

Join Our Journey at Engine

At Engine, we’re revolutionizing work travel. Our modern travel platform isn’t just about booking trips; it’s about transforming how businesses and their teams experience travel. From seamless booking options with top airlines, hotels, and car rental providers to single-invoice billing and flexible trip modifications, we make travel not only easier to manage but also enjoyable. Backed by powerhouse investors like Telescope Partners, Blackstone, Elefund, and Permira, we’re growing fast—and we want you to be part of it.

As an Event Coordinator at Engine, you’ll play a pivotal role in driving group travel bookings by proactively managing inbound leads, coordinating logistics, and building strong client relationships. This role combines sales development with hands-on customer support, requiring a self-driven approach to engage clients, solve challenges, and deliver a seamless booking experience.

You’ll partner closely with Group Sales Managers and Customer Success teams to guide prospects and clients from initial inquiry through event completion, ensuring high satisfaction and identifying growth opportunities in a fast-paced, evolving tech environment.

Collaboration & Communication:

• Work closely with Sales, Customer Success, and Supplier Relations to align on group booking details, resolve roadblocks, and ensure seamless execution.
• Take ownership of all communication by proactively updating internal teams and clients with timely, clear information on booking status and any issues.
• Surface recurring challenges and propose process improvements to streamline the group booking experience for both clients and internal stakeholders.

What You Bring:

• 2–5 years of experience in a customer-facing role (events, hospitality, sales support, SDR, customer success, etc.)
  
• Experience: Proven background in high-volume, customer-facing roles that blend sales and service — such as inside sales, sales development, event coordination, or customer success; (experience in travel, hospitality, or SaaS preferred.)
• Tech-savv: Comfortable using CRM tools (Salesforce, HubSpot) and modern productivity platforms
• Skills: Strong organizational abilities to manage multiple accounts and deadlines; excellent communication skills for proactive client engagement and cross-team collaboration; comfortable using CRM and data tools to monitor pipeline and customer activity.
• Mindset: Driver, not passenger — self-driven with a hunter mentality who takes full ownership and relentlessly pursues results; curious and data-informed to identify client needs and growth opportunities; adaptable and thrives in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
• Values: Customer-obsessed with a passion for delivering exceptional service; collaborative team player with a relentless will to win and exceed goals.
