Booking Agent (Part Time)

The final offer is at the client’s discretion and will depend on the candidate’s interview result, skills, and experience.

About the Role:

The Booking Agent will take over the administrative process once a prospective client has completed the initial sales and estimation stage with the business owner.

From there, this person will be responsible for confirming artist availability, preparing invoices and contracts, coordinating consultations, maintaining calendars, and ensuring each booking progresses through the company's established workflow. This is not a sales-focused position. The majority of client inquiries and initial sales conversations are handled by the owner before being passed to the Booking Coordinator.

The successful candidate should be comfortable stepping into a fast-paced environment where not every process is set in stone. They should be able to follow existing SOPs while also thinking critically, solving problems, and suggesting improvements where appropriate.
