Event Sales Trainee 

Location: Midtown Manhattan, New York (Onsite)

Type: Full-Time | Monday –Friday 10 AM - 7 PM EST

Pay Range: $50,000-$65,000 to start, paid out weekly

Are you ready to grow into a leadership role while supporting causes that matter? Search NYC is seeking a driven individual who's excited about jumping into the world of event-based outreach. This is a hands-on trainee role for someone who sees the bigger picture: leading teams, mastering people engagement, and making charity brands unforgettable in public spaces.

Ready to Build Something Bigger Than a 9–5?

As part of our fast-track program, you'll rotate through multiple core responsibilities—from pop-up event execution to team shadowing—before gradually taking on management tasks. Our clients are high-impact charity organizations, and your mission is to bring their purpose to life in busy retail and high-footfall environments.

Your Day-to-Day:

  • Support and lead small event teams to ensure smooth daily operations
  • Deliver engaging, confident presentations to the public about important causes
  • Learn performance tracking and reporting metrics from experienced team leads
  • Assist with staff onboarding and team motivation as your confidence grows
  • Contribute to brainstorming and feedback sessions on new campaign ideas

What You'll Grow Into (Managerial Duties):

As you progress in the role, you'll transition from supporting events to overseeing campaign performance and mentoring new team members. Managerial responsibilities will include:

  • Setting daily and weekly targets for your team and holding performance reviews
  • Leading morning briefings and end-of-day debriefs with event staff
  • Conducting coaching sessions to improve communication and outreach quality
  • Collaborating with senior leadership to provide feedback on event logistics and staff development
  • Playing a key role in the hiring process by participating in candidate trials and assessments
  • This is a development-first role, where leadership is built through direct experience, with continuous support from our senior team.

You'll Thrive Here If You Are:

  • A natural team player with leadership ambitions
  • Organized, with strong time management skills
  • Curious about how teams, campaigns, and client relations all connect
  • Energized by face-to-face interaction and public speaking
  • A culture of recognition, support, and development
  • Travel & networking opportunities
  • Looking for long-term growth, not just a short-term gig
  • Great attitude towards problem-solving
  • Have entrepreneurial energy and love taking initiative
  • Enjoy being around people and can bring good vibes to a team
  • Stay organized and level-headed even on busy days
  • Love public speaking or want to get great at it

  • Want real responsibility—not just busywork

  • Are you chasing long-term growth, not just another paycheck?

Compensation and Progression:

This role is performance-based, with regular reviews that offer fast progression into management-level responsibilities. Personal bonuses are available for high achievers, alongside team-wide incentives.

Next Steps:

If you're ready to build real skills, make a difference, and grow within a creative team, we want to hear from you.

Shortlisted candidates will be contacted within 2–3 business days to discuss their suitability for the role and to discuss job previews.
