THE ROLE
The Marketing & Private Events Manager drives revenue growth for VCU's Siegel Center through the organization and execution of multi-channel marketing campaigns and active private-event business development. Serving as the primary on-site marketing and sales representative, this role promotes concerts, family shows, sporting events, and other venue programming while generating, developing, and converting new private-event business to expand facility utilization and create new revenue opportunities.
