Perfect Venue
Founding Account Executive – Corporate Partnerships
Perfect Venue, San Francisco, California, United States, 94199
About Us
Private events and catering can significantly increase restaurant and event space revenue, but many venues are stuck using outdated, error‑prone manual processes - unlike the sophisticated software employed by large chains. Perfect Venue is leveling the playing field by offering local restaurants and venues an affordable, user‑friendly, event management tool to help local them compete with big chains. This is just the start, with plans to expand into a broader marketplace that includes other event services (DJs, florists, etc).
Role Overview As the first Corporate Partnerships Account Executives at Perfect Venue, you will play a critical role in helping people find the perfect venue for their next event. Through cold outreach and building relationships, you'll make Perfect Venue the go‑to destination for corporate event planning, talent, and ops teams that are scheduling client dinners, happy hours, and other events for their organization.
This role blends sales, event planning, and customer success. You’ll be the face of Perfect Venue for both new clients you source and inbound leads, ensuring that every event booked through our marketplace is a success.
This is a hybrid role based out of our San Francisco Office.
