Marketing & Special Events Manager

Banchetti by rizzos BUFFALO, New York

Love restaurants, live events, social media, and turning creative ideas into experiences people actually want to attend?

We are an independently owned restaurant group looking for a creative, organized, and motivated Marketing & Special Events Manager to lead marketing efforts across our restaurant concepts.

This is a hands-on management role for someone who can see the big picture while still handling the details. You’ll take ownership of our marketing calendar, develop campaigns, promote special events, manage digital content, and work directly with restaurant leadership to bring ideas from concept to execution.

One day you may be developing a campaign for a new menu launch, and the next you could be promoting a wine dinner, designing event materials, coordinating with performers, or reviewing campaign results to determine what we should do next.

What You’ll Do

Lead the development and execution of marketing strategies across multiple restaurant locations
Build and manage the company’s marketing and special-events calendar
Create marketing campaigns for restaurant promotions, seasonal initiatives, menu launches, and special events
Develop engaging content for Facebook, Instagram, email, websites, and other marketing channels
Manage social media accounts and maintain a consistent, effective posting schedule
Design promotional materials, event graphics, flyers, menus, signage, and digital content
Partner with ownership, location managers, and department leaders to identify marketing priorities
Manage marketing projects from initial concept through launch and completion
Coordinate the promotional and operational details required for successful special events
Prepare customer email campaigns featuring events, promotions, and restaurant news
Maintain and update website content across restaurant concepts
Track campaign and event performance and use results to improve future initiatives
Develop clear, repeatable marketing procedures and brand standards
Manage relationships with vendors, performers, media partners, community organizations, and outside agencies
Help identify new opportunities to increase awareness, guest engagement, event attendance, and restaurant traffic
Ensure marketing projects remain on schedule and within approved budgets

What We’re Looking For

Previous experience in marketing, event management, hospitality, or a related field
The ability to take ownership of projects and move them forward independently
Strong creative, organizational, and project-management skills
Excellent written and verbal communication
Experience developing and executing marketing campaigns
Experience managing business social media accounts
Graphic design experience, including proficiency with Adobe Illustrator
Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple deadlines
Confidence collaborating with restaurant managers, ownership, vendors, and outside partners
The ability to analyze campaign performance and make practical recommendations
A positive, flexible attitude and willingness to be hands-on when needed
Restaurant, hospitality, entertainment, or multi-location marketing experience is strongly preferred

Compensation and Schedule

$25–$30 per hour, based on experience
Full-time, hourly management position
Primarily weekday hours
Occasional evenings and weekends will be required for major events, promotions, content creation, and restaurant activities
Schedule flexibility will be discussed during the interview process

Why Join Us?
You’ll have the opportunity to shape the marketing direction of several unique restaurant concepts and see your work come to life in real time.
This is not a role where you’ll simply receive a list of posts to publish. We’re looking for someone who can bring ideas to the table, create a plan, keep projects organized, and take ownership of delivering results.

You’ll work directly with restaurant leadership, have room to be creative, and make a measurable impact on how guests discover and experience our brands.

If you’re ready to lead creative campaigns, build memorable events, and put your marketing experience to work in a fast-moving restaurant environment, we’d love to hear from you.

To apply, please submit your résumé and examples of relevant design, social media, event, or marketing work.

We are an Equal Opportunity Employer.
