About us
The Warung Theater at Cathay is a garden-style café and event venue in a restored old cinema in Ipoh. It has a stage hall that seats up to 300 guests, buffet and carving-station setups, and outside catering. We host government functions, school events, corporate family days, product launches, anniversaries and celebrations.
About the role
We need a hunter. This is not a desk job. You will go out, meet decision-makers, and bring events to Cathay. Then you will make sure every event runs smoothly and every client wants to come back.

- Visit clients, make calls, hold walkthroughs and close deals

- Meet and mingle with guests on event day, and build long-term relationships
- Lead and guide our event sales team
- Plan a yearly event calendar and hit monthly sales targets
- Report weekly on your pipeline and sales
What we are looking for
- At least 3 years in event sales, banquet sales, hotel sales or B2B sales
- An existing network of corporate or government contacts is a strong advantage
- Proactive, confident and outgoing, and not shy about cold calls or walk-ins
- Calm and professional with senior clients and VIPs
- Good communication in Bahasa Malaysia and English (Mandarin is a plus)
- Own transport and a valid driving licence
- Able to work some weekends and evenings during events
What you get
- Basic salary plus commission
- A unique 300-pax venue that is easy to sell
- Room to grow into a group-level events head as we expand
