Job type:
Full Time

As a District Sales Manager, you are a people leader first. You oversee Core selling teams - coaching Event Sales Specialists and Senior Event Sales Specialists to hit their numbers and grow their careers. Your success is your team’s success: measured through quota attainment, rep productivity, client retention, and talent ready for the next level. You earn a quarterly bonus based on your district’s collective results - not individual commission. You’re the connection between field reps, venue ops, Call Center, and Enterprise. We lead with presence - Lucky Strike Entertainment operates a camera-first policy. All video calls with clients and internal stakeholders require cameras on, and we expect associates to show up polished and professional - that means appropriate attire, a clean environment, and the kind of executive presence that reflects the brand we represent.
