Unleash Your Inner Dynamo : Sales & Event Manager at La Vaquita Flea Market

Location :  Jefferson, GA |  Job Type :  Full-Time, On-Site |  Schedule :  Some Weekends Required

About the Role : The Heartbeat of Our Market

Are you an  extroverted, results-obsessed powerhouse  who thrives on closing deals and throwing unforgettable parties?

La Vaquita Flea Market isn't just a market—it's a vibrant cultural destination, a community hub, and a magnet for small businesses. We're looking for a dynamic  Sales & Event Manager  to keep the energy high and the market full.

This role is your chance to wear two crucial hats : you’ll be a top-tier  sales and leasing expert  dedicated to maintaining a diverse, high-quality vendor mix, and a  creative event planner  who designs and executes cultural festivals and shopper experiences that drive massive foot traffic.

Think of it as 60% Sales / 40% Events.  If you're a closer who is also energized by people, logistics, and creating buzz, this is your stage. You won't just manage a market; you'll shape its future.

What You'll Do : Drive Revenue & Delight the Crowd1. Sales & Leasing (Your Primary Focus)

You will be the engine of our revenue growth, focusing on premium opportunities and maintaining our vibrant ecosystem.

  • Be a Closer :  Aggressively manage the vendor pipeline to maintain  98%+ occupancy  with a diverse and engaging tenant mix.
  • Generate New Revenue :  Proactively prospect and nurture relationships with local businesses to secure  sponsorships, advertising partnerships, and premium vendor placements .
  • Own the Process :  Master our CRM (Pipedrive or similar), tracking all activity and providing clear, regular reports and insights to leadership.

2. Events & Shopper Engagement (Your Secondary Focus)

You will create the experiences that people talk about and come back for, boosting vendor success and shopper loyalty.

  • Design & Execute :  Plan and manage seasonal festivals, cultural celebrations, and shopper activations that  significantly increase year-over-year market attendance  and dwell time.
  • Lead the Logistics :  Own the event lifecycle from conception to cleanup, managing timelines, budgets, contractors, and all moving parts using project tools like ClickUp.
  • Amplify the Message :  Work hand-in-hand with the Marketing team to ensure every event is promoted across all channels for maximum impact.

    • 3. Cross-Functional Leadership

  • Collaborate :  Partner with Operations and Facilities to ensure all vendor spaces and event logistics meet our high standards and align with brand goals.
  • Represent :  Be the face of La Vaquita, building positive relationships and securing partnerships within the greater Jefferson community.

    • What You'll Bring : Your Non-Negotiable Toolkit

    This is a  high-impact, hands-on role  that requires a specific blend of skills—we aren't looking for conventional corporate event planners.

  • Bilingual Fluency (English / Spanish) :   Required.  Our community and vendors are primarily Spanish-speaking. You must be able to communicate effectively and comfortably with all stakeholders.
  • Proven Experience :   2+ years  in sales, leasing, business development, or a similar revenue-focused role.
  • Community Event Mastery :  Proven experience  managing grassroots community events, festivals, or brand activations —you know how to create buzz on the ground.
  • Logistical Discipline :  Strong project management and vendor coordination skills with a demonstrated ability to execute with a high level of detail.
  • A "Can-Do" Attitude :  Highly organized, excellent follow-through, and comfortable with the  hands-on reality of event setup and light physical tasks .
  • Availability :  Must have the flexibility to work  weekends and evenings  as required by the market's operating hours and event schedule.

    • What We Offer : The Perks of Powering the Market

    We believe your direct contribution to our market's success should be rewarded.

  • Competitive Salary :   $55,000–$65,000  annual salary (Depending on Experience).
  • Performance Bonuses :  Significant  performance-based bonus potential  tied directly to sales goals and market attendance.
  • Full Benefits :  Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance.
  • Retirement :  401K with a  3% Company Match .
  • Time Off :  Generous PTO and Paid Holidays.
  • Impact :  A unique role where your work directly drives both  revenue and cultural community impact  every single day.

    • Ready to put your sales drive and event flair to work? We can't wait to hear from you!
