Overview:
TKP New York, with a very successful parent company in Japan, is a quickly growing conference center operation, recently having established its American flagship location in mid-town Manhattan right next to Bryant Park.
TKP is currently looking for a Full-Time Events Operations Coordinator to join its dynamic and growing team. This entry-level, hands-on position serves as a member of the Events Operations team to ensure that services are delivered in line with the customer’s needs and the terms of their service contracts with TKP. Duties include, but are not limited to, the following: setting up rooms in preparation for events, assisting with catering events setting up IT and AV equipment, working with outside vendors to ensure smooth operations, receiving and reporting requests from clients, and cleaning up after events.
Currently, the TKP team is comprised of a small handful of very active and personable individuals, all with some sort of connection to Japan.

Positive attitude, a strong work ethic, ability to work overtime and ability to lift and move tables/chairs are musts! This is a physically active position with a lot of visibility with clients and ideal for someone interested in the hospitality industry and someone who likes to be part of a small team. Prior hospitality experience desirable, but not a must. Attitude and willingness to learn are of paramount importance.
Salary in the mid 30k range, depending on experience. Outstanding health insurance benefits and tremendous room for growth as the company expands its NYC operations.
