Job Description

If you can sell, this room does half the work. Slate is a private event venue on the 20th floor of Founders Tower — the 1964 landmark on the Northwest Expressway you've been looking at your whole life. Two rooms with a 360-degree view of the city: the Penthouse for up to 200 guests, the Scarlett for up to 40. A private chef in-house, a full bar, our own rental inventory, and a hotel across the parking lot for wedding weekends. We've spent the last year rebuilding what we sell and how we sell it. The product is right. The room sells itself once people are standing in it. What we need now is one person whose whole job is getting them standing in it. This is not a desk job; You find the business. Wedding planners, photographers, florists, DJs, officiants, bridal shops — the people an engaged couple asks "where should we do this?" You build that network and you work it. Corporate planners, HR teams, executive assistants, hospital systems, universities, law and medical schools, nonprofits — the people who book a holiday party every December and a banquet every spring. Nobody hands you a pipeline. You go get one. You sell it. You give the tour. You walk a couple through their wedding day until they can see it. You write the proposal, you follow up until you get a real answer, and you ask for the signature. Weddings and corporate both — you're paid the same on either, so you chase whatever is closest to yes. You're out there. Networking events, bridal shows, industry mixers, chamber functions. Our own Once Weekly on Wednesdays and our Jazz Nights, plus the Slate events where your being in the room matters. Most venues have to beg vendors to come see the space. We have a standing weekly reason to get them into it, drinking, taking photos, meeting you. That's yours to use. You run the marketing. Social calendar, reels, blog, LinkedIn, our listings on the wedding platforms. You own the cadence and the output. We have tools that make the production fast — what we need is someone with a point of view about what goes out and when. You keep your own score. You build and present your own weekly numbers: what came in, what closed, your conversion rate, what's in the pipeline, what the calendar looks like six and twelve months out. We review them together every week. Nobody chases you for a report. You bring it. What you don't carry Pricing and discounts come from our calculator. Planning the event after it's signed belongs to our Director of Client Experience. Menus belong to our chef. The bar and the floor belong to our operations team. You'll also have a Sales Associate working alongside you on inquiry response, tour logistics and paperwork. We've drawn those lines on purpose. We want you selling, not administering. The compensation A base salary depending on experience, plus a performance bonus tied directly to the business you book — uncapped, paid monthly, and earned from the first dollar. No threshold to clear before it starts. No ceiling when it's working. The range above is what we expect this seat to pay. The top of it isn't a ceiling — it's what a strong year looks like, and the bonus has no cap. We'll walk you through the full structure in the first interview, with real numbers from real bookings, and we'd rather you do the math yourself than take our word for it. If you're the kind of person who reads a comp plan closely before you take a job, you're the kind of person we're looking for. What we're looking for 3+ years selling something with a contract and a close — venue, hotel, catering, hospitality, membership, media, or B2B services. A record you can talk about in numbers. We will ask what you booked, how you found it, and what you did when it went quiet. The ability to sell a wedding. A couple's day is not a transaction, and the person who treats it like one doesn't close it. Real comfort walking into a room full of strangers and leaving with two names worth following up. Writing that doesn't embarrass us. Proposals and follow-up are half this job. CRM discipline. We run HoneyBook; any serious CRM experience transfers. Evenings and some weekends. Tours happen when couples are free and events happen at night. This isn't occasional — it's the shape of the work. Valid driver's license and reliable transportation.
Helpful but not required:
an existing network in the OKC wedding or hospitality market; comfort shooting and cutting a decent reel on a phone. Where this goes This is a producer's seat today — you sell, you don't manage. If you build the book, it becomes the seat that leads Slate's sales team, and we'll put in writing exactly what that takes before you accept. How to apply Send a resume and a short note — three or four sentences — about one deal you closed that you're proud of, and how you found it. We read every one. eli@slatevenue.com Slate is an equal opportunity employer. Employment is at will.
