ABOUT THE ROLE

Keller Williams Realty New Orleans is looking for an outgoing, polished, and meticulously organized person to coordinate our events, both internal and external, with the goal of keeping connected with our 140+ real estate agents and the greater community. The Director of Events will be a member of our leadership team and a key brand ambassador. KW New Orleans has an existing active calendar of both work and play. Our workshops, CE (Continuing Education) seminars, social events, notable guest speakers and authors, and special experiences that our agents love is the heart of this opportunity. The Director of Events will take the helm with a full slate of content. Your primary responsibility isn't to create that calendar-it's to make sure the right people experience it. The goal isn't simply to fill a room. It's to become acquainted with our agents and their goals to understand what would be valuable to them, and connect them to the right opportunities from which they will genuinely benefit.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Build relationships with successful and emerging real estate professionals
• Learn about their businesses, goals, challenges and interests.
• Become deeply familiar with the KW New Orleans event, training and education calendar.
• Identify which agents would benefit from specific classes, meetings, masterminds, networking and other opportunities.
• Personally invite guests through phone calls, texts, email, social media and personalized outreach.
• Make sure invited guests feel genuinely welcomed, introduced and connected when they arrive.
• Connect guests with agents, leaders and resources that are particularly relevant to their businesses and personal growth goals.
• Execute thoughtful, timely follow-up after events and ensure promising relationships are handed off to the appropriate member of our leadership team.
• Maintain excellent records so relationships, conversations and follow-up opportunities never fall through the cracks.
• Listen carefully to what agents in the market are telling us-what they're struggling with, curious about and looking for-and bring those insights back to our leadership team.
• Help us identify potential new classes, events, speakers and experiences based on what you're hearing in the market.
• Use AI and our proprietary tools to make relationship-building, outreach and follow-up timely and dramatically more effective.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

You may have worked in hospitality, luxury retail, events, business development, membership organizations, fundraising, recruiting, public relations or another highly relationship-driven profession. Your exact background matters less than who you are.

You are:

• Exceptionally personable and comfortable meeting new people.
• Gregarious without being overbearing.
• Polished, professional and an excellent representative of a premium brand.
• The kind of person who remembers someone's name and something about them.
• Highly organized and genuine with follow-up, including hand-written notes when appropriate.
• Comfortable picking up the phone and extending a personal invitation.
• Socially perceptive: you know how to introduce people and make newcomers feel at ease.
• Confident in communicating with successful professionals.
• Proficient across all 5 major social media platforms.
• Comfortable learning and using AI tools.
• A team player who enjoys working behind the scenes but can confidently represent the organization publicly.
• Willing to occasionally work evenings when brokerage events require it.

Candidates should have an undergraduate degree and 2-5 years of relevant professional experience.
