Job Description

Corporate Event Sales Manager

Wythe Hotel, Williamsburg, Brooklyn NY

The Opportunity

At the intersection of Brooklyn's industrial heritage and its cultural future stands Wythe Hotel - a pioneer that helped transform Williamsburg into one of the world's most dynamic neighborhoods. As we evolve with our neighborhood, we seek a Corporate Event Sales Manager who resonates with both Brooklyn’s heritage and future.

This role is for someone who sees beyond transactions to create lasting relationships with New York's most innovative people. You'll be the architect of experiences that reflect our position at the intersection of New York and the world, where a century-old factory building houses tomorrow's ideas.

Why This Role Matters

Wythe celebrates a fundamental truth: in our increasingly digital world, the moments when people gather have never been more precious. We're not just providing refuge from the digital - we're fostering environments where teams reinforce their chemistry, ideas flow freely, and the energy of being together transforms routine gatherings into defining moments.

Our clients are communities and organizations that understand their teams are more than business efficiencies - they are the inspiration and connection itself. All gatherings at the Wythe are designed to satisfy human need for connection.

You'll help forward-thinking companies create these essential moments, positioning the Wythe as their home for experiences that remind teams why they chose to work together in the first place.
