About Evolutionary Events

Evolutionary Events is a boutique, full-service meeting, event, and destination management company (DMC) known for our creativity, agility, and exceptional client service. Our small but mighty team delivers flawless execution for high-profile programs — sales meetings, incentives, tradeshows, customer experiences, and user conferences — for clients across the globe. We move fast, care deeply about our partnerships, and hold ourselves to a standard of going the extra mile on every project.

Position Summary

We're looking for a Project Manager who thrives on juggling multiple priorities at once and genuinely enjoys the pace of the events industry. This is a hands-on, in-person role based in our Tampa office, ideal for someone with a background in DMC, hotel, or event/meeting planning who is proactive, resourceful, and driven to grow. You'll own event execution end-to-end — from proposal through onsite delivery and final reconciliation — while partnering closely with our Account Executive team and clients.

The ideal candidate is a natural multi-tasker with a go-getter attitude: someone who anticipates problems before they happen, communicates clearly under pressure, and takes real ownership of their projects. Strong Excel skills, a team-first mindset, and a genuine passion for customer service are essential.

What You'll Do

• Lead planning and execution for corporate events including incentives, tradeshows, conferences, sales meetings, and customer experiences

• Serve as the primary client liaison on assigned programs, delivering consistent, high-touch communication and service

• Build and manage detailed project timelines, budgets, and meeting specifications for every program

• Research and secure venues and vendors; manage proposals, site inspections, and contract negotiations

• Manage attendee registration, communications, and event platforms

• Lead weekly project team meetings and oversee all logistical planning, from A/V to F&B to transportation

• Direct onsite teams, troubleshoot issues in real time, and ensure quality control throughout each program

• Prepare final billing and complete full budget reconciliation for each event

• Juggle multiple concurrent projects and shifting priorities without dropping the details

What You Bring

• 3–5+ years of experience as a Project Manager, Event Planner, or similar role — DMC, hotel conference services, or third-party planning background strongly preferred

• At least 2-3 years of hands-on onsite event management experience

• Strong working knowledge of hotel operations, A/V production, F&B planning, site selection, and contract negotiation

• Proven ability to manage multiple clients and complex, competing deadlines simultaneously

• Strong Microsoft Excel skills, plus proficiency across the Microsoft Office Suite (Word, PowerPoint)

• A proactive, go-getter attitude — someone who spots what needs to happen next and takes initiative without being asked

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with high attention to detail

• A true team player who brings a positive, collaborative energy and strong customer-service instincts

• Ability to work independently, stay flexible, and make sound decisions quickly under pressure

• Willingness to travel, including occasional weekends, for onsite program delivery

• Ability to sit for extended periods and stand for long stretches onsite; ability to lift up to 25 lbs

• Bachelor's degree preferred; CMP certification a plus

Why Join Us

You'll join a close-knit, supportive team that values creativity, excellence, and above-and-beyond service — and where your contributions are seen and appreciated. No two days look the same, and there's real room to grow as you build your career in events.

To Apply

Please submit your cover letter, resume, and salary requirements for consideration. This is a full-time, in-office position based in Tampa, FL.
