Event Operations Account Manager

Job Description

Driving Client Success & Operational Excellence

800 PLANT IT is a premium, nationwide leader in live plant rental and design for iconic events, serving legendary clients like Ferrari, the NFL, and Nike. We don't just "rent plants"; we curate atmospheres for the worlds most prestigious stages at events, tradeshows and commercial experiences.

We are looking for a savvy Account Manager who doesn't just manage tasks, but owns outcomes. This is a role for an independent operator who thrives on autonomy, loves the scrappiness of event logistics, and takes pride in seeing a complex, multi-stakeholder project through to a flawless execution.

Success in this role will require intuitive problem-solving skills and a desire to wow clients. You dont wait for a manual; you see a gap and build a bridge. You will be a key player to unlock the next level of growth at 800 PLANT IT.

Crucially, the successful candidate must possess impeccable judgment: the ability to execute autonomously on operations and sales while understanding and respecting financial, legal, and executive discretion.

Note: This is a 100% Remote position, but we are ideally seeking candidates in the Los Angeles or Miami areas to align with our major hub operations.

How You Will Impact the Business

• End-to-End Project Management: You will own the lifecycle of high-stakes event leads. This requires managing multi-step processes, from sourcing materials at nurseries to coordinating with greenhouses and overseeing on-site subcontractors.

• Proactive Client Leadership: You are the primary face of the brand for our clients. You anticipate needs before they ask, ask insightful questions manage expectations and resolve issues before they escalate.

• Operational Resourcefulness: Event logistics are dynamic. When a subcontractor falls through or a material is unavailable, you are the person who finds the "Plan B" and executes it independently.

Qualifications 

• Remote Work Mastery: You have 2+ years of proven experience working in sales remotely. You are a self-disciplined closer who doesn't need someone to check in on your progress, but you share exciting progress made independently.
  
  
• Process-Obsessed: You have a high follow-through IQ and say/do ratio. You enjoy using tools like Google Suite and Zoom to keep complex schedules and order records meticulously organized.

• B2B Experience: Background in account management, event logistics, or project coordination where you managed multiple external vendors/stakeholders or transferable skills.

• The "Owner" Mindset: You treat every client event as if your own name is on the contract. You are detail-oriented, scrappy, and thrive in fast-paced environments.

The Details

• Compensation: Hourly part-time (starting at 20 hrs/week) with a clear path to full-time after 3 months, as you take on more client projects.

• Location: Remote (LA or Miami preferred)
