Retail operator for 100+ cultural attractions across North America
Event Network runs retail operations across zoos, aquariums, museums, science centers, and botanical gardens—a venue-diversified model that requires retail discipline applied to vastly different customer contexts. The tech stack is heavily Microsoft-dependent (Excel, Power BI, SQL Server, Dynamics NAV, Azure), matched with Dayforce for workforce management—classic retail operations infrastructure. Active hiring is dominated by sales roles (318 of 426 open positions), with leadership emphasis on Store Directors and Retail Sales Leads, signaling a venue-by-venue franchise execution model where on-site sales leadership drives per-capita revenue.
Notable leadership hires: Sales Lead, Retail Sales Lead, Purchasing Director, Store Director, Assistant Store Director
