Events & Social Media Marketing Manager (Full-Time or Part-Time)

Wickedball · Lombard, IL 60148

Love events, live on social, and want to actually get paid for the business you bring in? WickedBall Chicago is hiring an Events & Social Media Marketing Manager to own our events, grow our brand, and cash in on the revenue you create. WickedBall Chicago is a 15,000 sq ft entertainment venue at Yorktown Center in Lombard — bubble soccer, arena games, epic birthday parties, corporate events, and a fast-growing mobile events operation across Chicagoland. We're scaling up, and we need a high-energy leader to run the show. Read this part carefully: this is NOT a remote job , and it is NOT a typical 9-to-5 . You'll be right in the middle of the action — running events, hyping up guests, and making sure every single person walks out saying that was awesome. Nights, weekends, and event days are the job, not the exception. If you want to sit behind a laptop, this isn't it. If you want to be the energy in the room, keep reading. Our sales team closes the deals — you make every event flawless and keep new business flowing in from places we're not already tapping. What You'll Do Own and execute all events — in-venue and mobile — from prep and logistics to setup, run-of-show, and teardown Be the energy on the floor: host, lead, and make sure everyone's having a blast Make confirmation calls, coordinate event details, and schedule party hosts and staff Run our social media and create scroll-stopping content (shoot + edit video/reels) Land brand partnerships, sponsorships, and creator collaborations Build new event concepts — themed nights, tournaments, leagues, and seasonal activations Direct our social coordinators and event staff — you lead the floor, you don't do it all alone How You Get Paid to Grow You earn commissions on the events you create, the deals you close, and the partnerships you build. There are two ways to blow up your earnings here: The content creator: if you've got serious social media and video skills, use them — great content drives bookings, and bookings drive your commissions and our revenue. The connector: if you're relentless about building new relationships and landing partnerships, that path pays just as well. Either direction wins. And if you're the unicorn who can do both? Let's talk — that person can earn a lot here. What We're Looking For A doer and a leader who can run an event floor and bring the energy Great social media and content creation skills, OR a natural relationship-builder who chases partnerships — ideally both Marketing-minded — you think in campaigns, partnerships, and revenue, not just likes Organized and calm with a hundred moving parts in the air Available evenings and weekends — that's when events happen Valid driver's license and reliable transportation for mobile events across Chicagoland Bonus: experience in events, entertainment, hospitality, or brand/agency marketing Compensation Full-time: $37,000 base salary, plus commissions, event profit share, tips, and performance bonuses. Realistic total earnings $47,000–$67,000+ based on performance. Part-time: competitive hourly rate plus the same commissions on events, closes, and partnerships — a great fit if you want flexible hours with real upside. Commissions are uncapped — the more events you build, deals you close, and partnerships you land, the more you make.
