Booking and Management Assistant

Job Description - Booking & Management Assistant

Role:Booking & Management assistant

I'm a solo performer, entertainer & mc, working mainly in comedy, circus and variety entertainment.  I have a number of shows, characters and services that I offer to a wide range of clients including corporate events, local & International festivals, private clients and community events.

I'm looking for a part time assistant to take on aspects of the business and allow me to focus on the creative & performance side.

The role will involve elements of the following...

• Understanding my various shows & characters, their flexibility and how they can be presented.
• The ability to spot potential gigs (events and situations which may not yet even have entertainment, but which would benefit from what I have to offer).
• Cold calling new clients and keeping in touch with existing clients
• Sending and tracking promo packs as required
• Working with me to build and administer a relatively simple CRM system.
• Most importantly - Generating work for me

In time, this may expand to include negotiation and closing of bookings, invoicing and receipt of payment, but initially, I would continue to handle this myself.

While I wish to continue working in a community & festival context in NZ, I'm interested in expanding my work in the New Zealand corporate market (conferences, functions, conventions etc...).

Internationally, I'm interested in focusing on Asian and European Arts festivals.

Initially, I am anticipating a commitment of 3 - 6 hours per week at an agreeable hourly rate.  However, I believe it would benefit both parties to move to a performance based pay scheme after a few months, as results begin to build.

In addition, I'm a singer/songwriter and seeking someone to fill a similar role for the musical side of the business.  One person could well do both jobs, as there is a fair bit of cross over.
