Event Director

Palm Sophia is an upscale private event venue located in Culver City, and has recently become an increasingly recognizable name in the Los Angeles event landscape. Our space has hosted celebrity weddings, Fortune 500 holiday celebrations, film festivals, wellness summits for companies such as Tik Tok, and high-profile brand activations.

We are now seeking a qualified candidate to fill a Director of Sales and Events role—a polished, confident, and relationship-driven professional who will serve as the primary point of contact for our clients and the public-facing ambassador of the Palm Sophia brand. This position is ideal for someone who has experience with events or hospitality, client experience, and sales. All inquiries are 100% inbound, primarily via Google—there is no cold calling or outbound prospecting.

Success in this role comes from responsiveness, presence, follow-through, and the ability to guide clients seamlessly from inquiry to commitment. You will have significant autonomy, flexibility in scheduling, and the opportunity to grow alongside a venue with strong momentum and brand recognition.
